Second RaycastHit is the exact same as the first RaycastHit even though it shouldn't be

I created a float method that shoots raycasts in two different directions under the player to return the angle of the slope the player is standing on.

The groundCheck is a game object inside the lower part of the player. The groundMask is a layer mask with only the Ground layer selected. I already checked to make sure the player and the groundCheck are not ground layered.

    private float CalculateGroundSlopeAngle()
    {
        if (!isGrounded) return 0f;
        else
        {
            Ray ray1 = new Ray(groundCheck.transform.position, Vector3.down);
            Ray ray2 = new Ray(groundCheck.transform.position, Vector3.down + Vector3.forward * 0.2f);
            RaycastHit ray1hit, ray2hit;
            Physics.Raycast(ray1, out ray1hit, 1f, groundMask);
            Physics.Raycast(ray2, out ray2hit, 1f, groundMask);
            Vector3 point1 = ray1hit.point;
            Vector3 point2 = ray2hit.point;           
            Vector3 point3 = new Vector3(point2.x, point1.y, point2.z);
            float adjacent = Vector3.Distance(point1, point3);
            float opposite = Vector3.Distance(point2, point3);
            float slopeAngle = Mathf.Rad2Deg * Mathf.Atan(opposite / adjacent);
            Debug.Log("Ray1 Hit Point: " + point1);
            Debug.Log("Ray2 Hit Point: " + point2);
            Debug.Log("Right Triangle Point: " + point3);
            Debug.Log("Adjacent: " + adjacent);
            Debug.Log("Opposite: " + opposite);
            return slopeAngle;
        }
    }

When the code is executed, ray1hit.point shows correct results (as far as I know), however ray2hit.point does not; rather, it is the exact same value as ray1hit.point. This messes up the rest of the code and doesn’t return the correct angle.

I tested the code and it seems to work fine. Maybe your ground check object is too close to the ground (?).

Btw, the easiest way to calculate the angle is this:

float slopeAngle = Vector3.Angle(Vector3.up, rayHit.normal);
