Why is this Function returnng false?

So I am trying to check if the player is on ground and i have this function set up:

    void Update()
    {
        onGround = IsOnGround();
    }

    bool IsOnGround()
    {
        bool retVal = false;
        Vector3 origin = transform.position + new Vector3(0f, 0.05f, 0f);
        RaycastHit hit;
        if(Physics.Raycast(origin, -Vector3.up, out hit, 0.5f, layerMask))
        {
            retVal = true;
        }
        return retVal;
    }

When was debugging why movement wasnt working i tried Debug.Log(onGround); and i got false. I just want to hear a quick answer because i think i made some stupid mistae again and will facepalm after the solution…

If the raycast doesn’t hit any colliders, retVal is never set to true.

Maybe you never set the layerMask in your inspector?
