RayCast not picking up my AI

What I've been doing lately is making a Tactical AI pack (gotta save up to buy Torque), and I'll end up posting a .plan file as soon as I do something that's worth reading about. One of the features on my agenda was to implement order stacking. First, the player aims at the AI and presses a key to "select it". Then, the player aims at a point for the AI to move to and presses a key, and finally, he uses the same process to define where the AI should be looking during all this. The orders are saved, and the player can click an EXECUTE ORDERS button to make the AI do what you told it to.
I'm putting this in to let the player set up a bound overwatch or flanking manuever, or to even clear a room, by giving individual AI orders and sulmitaneously executing the orders. I started by programming AI selection. Here's my chunk of code:

function serverCmdSelectAI(%client)
{
   %plr = %client.player;
   %start = %plr.getPosition();
   %eyevec = %plr.getEyeVector();
   %end = VectorScale(%eyevec,30);
   %end = VectorAdd(%start,%end);
   %ray = ContainerRayCast(%start,%end,$TypeMasks::PlayerObjectType,%plr); 
   echo("Found object: "@ %ray);
   %obj = getWord(%ray,0);
   if (%obj.getClassName() $= "AIPlayer")
   {
      if (%plr.selectedAI == 0 && %plr.selectedAI !$= %obj)
      {
         %obj.isSelected = 1;
         %obj.oldName = %obj.getShapeName();
         %obj.setShapeName(">>>" @ %obj.getShapeName() @ "<<<");
         %oldSel = %plr.selectedAI;
         %oldSel.isSelected = 0;
         %oldSel.setShapeName(%oldSel.oldName);
      }
      else if (%plr.selectedAI $= %obj)
      {
         %obj.isSelected = 0;
         %obj.setShapeName(%obj.oldName);
      }
   }
   else
   {
      echo("Not an AI Player.");
   }
   echo("No AI to select.");
}

I have a variable set in the player datablock which stores the AI that is selected. If the AI you are trying to select is already selected, that AI is no longer selected. I have everything bound correctly, no console errors, but when I try to select an AI by aiming over it and pressing a key, my console prints this

Found Object:
Not an AI Player.
No AI to select.

What I'm doing is scaling the eye vector up by 30 and adding it to the player's position to create and end point some distance out there, straight ahead. I would run a ContainerRayCast from the player's position to the end point, and the PlayerObjectType that is between those points is hopefully an AIPlayer. If it is, then change its ShapeName to reflect the new state and set a field in its ScriptObject to tell Torque that it is selected.

I'm aiming dead on at him, but it doesn't see him. Do I need to change the search masks in my RayCast? Is there a better way to figure out what I'm aiming at? Is there a typo? Am I stupid? Is it Texas? Help is appreciated.
