What do you recommend? I thought the question mark (?) made it nullable?

        Vector3? GetRayPlaneIntersectionPoint(Ray ray, Plane plane)
        {
            float? distance = ray.Intersects(plane);
            return distance.HasValue ? ray.Position + ray.Direction * distance.Value : null;
        }

I believe the problem occurs because you cannot make a method type declaration nullable. Can't say that I've ever tried, so if I am wrong here, I'd appreciate someone else letting me know. You will have to have a field that is nullable, and a Vector3 method that returns a Vector3:

Vector3? nullableVec;

Vector3 GetRayPlaneIntersectionPoint(Ray ray, Plane plane)
{
    float? distance = ray.Intersects(plane);
    return distance.HasValue ? ray.Position + ray.Direction * distance.Value : null;
}

nullableVec = GetRayPlaneIntersectionPoint(ray, plane);

Something similar to the above code should work. I don't have my IDE in front of me right this second, so I can't test it, but hopefully you can make sense of what I've written.

I get the same error on the function. I copied this function from online, so I am not very familiar with null able or shorthand.

Is there a specific reason that you need it to be null and not just (0, 0, 0)? Changing the last line of the return statement from 'null' to Vector3.Zero will get rid of your error, but the vector3 will definitely not be null.
