:GetBoundInBox get the Acesestor not the children

[lolformon (Monsparkles19)]

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
   I used getBoundInBox in my sword I want it to detect the zombie and find Humanoid and takedamage

2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
   I printed workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(hitbox.CFrame, hitbox.Size, overlapsParam)
   but it printed the body part of the zombie instead of the zombie’s name
   

   

3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
   I searched for some tutorials to confirm my understanding but no one made any…

local filter = OverlapParams.new()
filter.FilterDescendantsInstances = {workspace.zombiesFolder}
filter.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Whitelist

debounce = false

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if debounce == false then
		print("activated")
		debounce = true
		--slashAnim:Play()
		local zombie = workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(hitbox.CFrame, hitbox.Size, filter)
		print(zombie)

thankq

There are probably better ways of doing this but you can loop inside the table that GetPartBoundsInBox returns and check if the values are parented to the zombie.

local zombieName = "zombie"

local filter = OverlapParams.new()
filter.FilterDescendantsInstances = {workspace.zombiesFolder}
filter.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Whitelist

debounce = false

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if debounce == false then
		print("Activated")
		debounce = true
		--slashAnim:Play()
		local Table = workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(hitbox.CFrame, hitbox.Size, filter)
		
		for _, v in pairs(Table) do 
			if v.Parent and v.Parent.Name:lower() == zombieName then print(true) break end
		end
		
	end
end)

oh thanks for the reply I will try that right now

yea I did kinda similar to what you said here
so I made a folder and put zombie then detect the zombie’s bodypart that hit.
then check if bodypart.parent.parent (bodypart.parent.parent is the zombie folder)
== folder or not. if yes then bodypart.parent (the zombie).Humanoid:TakeDamge

here final code

local DAMAGE = 50

--local slashAnim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(slash)

local filter = OverlapParams.new()
filter.FilterDescendantsInstances = {workspace.zombiesFolder}
filter.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Whitelist

debounce = false

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if debounce == false then
		print("activated")
		debounce = true
		--slashAnim:Play()
		local zombie = workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(hitbox.CFrame, hitbox.Size, filter)
		print(zombie)
		for i, bodyPart in pairs(zombie) do
			if bodyPart.Parent.Parent == workspace.zombiesFolder then
				bodyPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):TakeDamage(DAMAGE)
			end
		end
		wait(.5)
		debounce = false
		
	end
end)

really appreciate ur hwelp thx
