please forgive my un optimized script and this post first time posting
You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
-
What do i want to achieve?
What i want to happens is for my selection box (Red transparent box) to detect parts within the bounding box and put a point where i can spawn a fire at, this point is a part -
What is the issue?
parts like these trees often detect each other even if they are not inside the bounding box of the other tree, causing it to leave a point on a completely different tree

What solutions have i tried so far?
Go crazy & read documentation
This is the code, for reference gets 25% of points from each object, each tree only can detect 2 points, 25% of 2 points is 0.5 therefore none of those trees should have a point, but they do. you can also visually see this by watching each point generate and seeing a random point off into a different object model
Ive tried spacing them out far and wide, no avail
Here is part of the code
local BoundingBoxKlone -- Placeholder
if Object:IsA("Model") then
local Orientation, Size = Object:GetBoundingBox()
local PinBound = workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(Orientation,(Size - Vector3.new(0.1,0.1,0.1)))
local Points = {}
local SelectedPoints = {}
if Debug == true then
BoundingBoxKlone = BoundingBox:Clone()
BoundingBoxKlone.Parent = workspace
BoundingBoxKlone.CFrame = Orientation
BoundingBoxKlone.Size = Size
end
wait(1.5)
for _,v:Part in pairs(PinBound) do
print(v.Name)
local point = Instance.new("Part")
point.Anchored = true
point.Size = Vector3.new(0.1,0.1,0.1)
point.Position = v.Position
point.Parent = PointsFolder
table.insert(Points,point)
if Debug == true then
local spher = sphere:Clone()
spher.Parent = point
sphere.Adornee = v
end
wait()
end
BoundingBoxKlone:Destroy()
wait(1.5)
local ammount = math.floor((#Points * Percent) / 100)
for count = 0,ammount,1 do
local Sindex = math.random(0,#Points)
local Spoint = Points[Sindex]
table.remove(Points,Sindex)
table.insert(SelectedPoints,Spoint)
end
for _,v in pairs(Points) do
if table.find(SelectedPoints,v) == nil then
v:Destroy()
end
end
end
Here’s a low quality video on the point generation in action
