I have a game where I need to cut holes in parts to put teleporters inside of them.
However, the holes are cut into the surface of a part.
Most walls are so big in one direction, but thin in the other. The walls must be at least 5 studs wide and 8 studs tall.
How would I be able to get the size of a specific surface of a part using mouse.TargetSurface?
An idea I had:
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
target = mouse.Target
surface = mouse.TargetSurface
if surface.Name == 'Front' then
surfaceSize = Vector2.new(target.Size.X, target.Size.Y)
end
end)
(This probably won’t work as I wrote it on mobile, but you get the idea I hope)
Is there a simpler / better way to do this?

If you knew the size of surfaces, the formel of area is A = X * Y.
Back and front share the same vectors, as well as left and right, top and bottom.

Okay, thanks! So this would technically work?
minimumArea = 5 * 8
SF = mouse.TargetSurface.Name
part = mouse.Target
if SF == 'Front' or SF == 'Back' then
if (part.Size.X * part.Size.Y) >= minimumArea then
-- Big enough
end
end
Then do the same with the other faces
Yes, that would technically work. I’m not sure which face again that has front and back. If something goes wrong, switch the X with Z.

a) multiply is 1st so the “(” is useless and the code will compare its size, so when it is 10 blocks wide and 4 block high, it will be 40 so it will be 8*5). use
is surfraceSize.X>=minX and surfraceSize.Y>=minY then

Oh yeah, of course! I forgot about that, thanks!
