Get Part from Position

#1

Hello!

I was wondering if there was a way to identify a part by its position.

Ex: let’s say a part is at coords (0, 0, 0)
Can I write a function to find that part based off its coordinates?

#2 
function findPartByPosition(pos)
    for i,v in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do 
        if v:IsA("BasePart") then
            if v.Position == pos then
                return v
            end
        end
    end
end

Thank u, I was about to do it by instancing a part to that position and use collisions system. That would of been really laggy. This is much better!

This still might slow down on games with LOTS of instances in the workspace

Oh I am doing it for a grid system I have for my floor or whatever. Basically it’s fine because it’s in a group. I just never thought of doing it this way so thank you

avoid looping, do this instead
