GetPartsInPart() not detecting parts outside of a model

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

This code does not pick up descendants of the spot folder in workspace, and I’m not sure why. For example, this neon blue part, which is a descendant of Spot, however it is not working at all. I tried moving both the script and RadarBig outside of the model but it still outputs the same results. If I remove the filter parameters then it just outputs some parts that are descendants of the drillrig model, which I don’t understand, as it doesn’t output anything else.

drill = workspace.DrillRig
part = drill.Atenna.RadarBig
minimap = drill.Panel.Radar
local params = OverlapParams.new()
params.FilterDescendantsInstances = workspace.Spot:GetChildren()
params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include
local objectsInSpace = workspace:GetPartsInPart(part,params)
while true do
	wait()
	for i,v in pairs(objectsInSpace) do 
			print(v.Name, "This") 
		end
end

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Currently your scripts will only detect parts which are inside the Spot due to this line here

#3

yes, i want it to do that, however its not detecting them even though ive explicitly whitelisted them

#4

params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {workspace.Spot:GetChildren()}

Try this

#5

nope, still outputting no results

Because GetPartsInPart is executed outside the while loop, it’s only run once. You’re using the same results made by objectsInSpace pre-loop once the code is executed.

Place objectsInPlace in the while loop. I would recommend using a short task.wait() delay because this function may not be performant.

This still doesn’t output anything, even when putting objectsinplace in the while loop.
