GetTouchingParts() Down?

#1

all of my games that include a GetTouchingParts() are broken? Will this be fixed soon or should I build around it?

What parts exactly are you trying to get? If they’re non collidable (e.g. legs, arms) then it won’t work.

To get collidable parts:

local function GetTouchingParts(part)
   local connection = part.Touched:Connect(function() end)
   local results = part:GetTouchingParts()
   connection:Disconnect()
   return results
end

local results = GetTouchingParts(workspace.PartA)
print(#results) --> 1

This is not the problem. I checked my placement script, which uses gettouchingparts like this:

		local connection = cloneModel.Hitbox.Touched:Connect(function() end)
		local collides = cloneModel.Hitbox:GetTouchingParts()
		connection:Disconnect()
		for i, v in ipairs(collides) do
			if v:FindFirstAncestor("Towers") or v:FindFirstAncestor("Obstacles") then
				for i, v in ipairs(cloneModel:GetDescendants()) do
					if v:IsA("BasePart") then
						v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 70, 38)
						v.Transparency = 0.5
					end
				end
				colliding = true
				return
			end
		end

And it always returns an empty array.

It was previously a temporary issue:
