seems to not be touching other parts when it is.

#3

What do RightDigit and LeftDigit look like? Is this a VR setup or something more like Gang Beasts?

GetTouchingParts is meant for intersection, so if the parts are only loosely touching it might not be reliable.

GetTouchingParts also doesn’t work for non-collide parts unless the part has a TouchInterest added to it.

Here are what the docs say about GetTouchingParts for more details:

Returns a table of all parts that are physically interacting with this part. If the part itself has CanCollide set to false, then this function returns an empty table unless the part has a TouchInterest object parented to it (meaning something is connected to its Touched event). Parts that are adjacent but not intersecting are not considered touching. This function predates the WorldRoot:GetPartsInPart() function, which provides more flexibility and avoids the special TouchInterest rules described above. Use WorldRoot:GetPartsInPart() instead.

#4

the digits are just an alternative for fingers meshpart for a vr game, i have everything working but the grab is being a pain - gettouchingparts is deprecated for meshparts but idek

#5

yeah imma use worldroot instead as i have to also use the touched event which is a pain.
