[HELP!] - How do I make this group of parts one single part?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Greetings, I need help with creating an independent part made out of thousands of parts while the game is running. I’ve tried to make a union, but when there is a lot of parts, I get an error in the output:

“Something went wrong. CSG returned error code -14. Please file a bug report, preferably with a file containing the problematic object(s).”

I also tried to substract the whole model from a big part and then substract this bigpart with another big part. But I get the same Error message…

Script

The Code:

    for i, v in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do
		table.insert(partstable,v)
	end

	local union = partstable[1]:UnionAsync(partstable)
	union.Parent = workspace

If you know any of executing this, reply

Based on the error message you received, it seems like the issue is related to the CSG (Constructive Solid Geometry) system in Roblox Studio, which is used to create unions, differences, and intersections between parts. The error code -14 indicates a CSG failure, which could be caused by a variety of reasons such as overlapping geometry, non-manifold geometry, or too many parts being used.

To create an independent part made out of thousands of parts while the game is running, you could try using the WeldConstraint instead of a union. The WeldConstraint will allow you to connect multiple parts together while maintaining their individual properties such as mass, friction, and collisions.

You can use as an alternative: WeldConstrait

I’m looking for a way for simplifying and optimizing the model. I also want to detect when a player is stepping on the model and when it stops stepping on it.

the CSG tends to have low performances so what i suggest is doing it in cycle, and not everything at once. it would take a bit more time but at least it wouldn’t crash.

for example :

i have 1000 part
union 100 part x 10
union the 10 resulting part

Ok I’ve tried this, but it doesn’t work, the unions can’t be joined.
Error: " Something went wrong. CSG returned error code -6. Please file a bug report, preferably with a file containing the problematic object(s)."

you could make it into a mesh if that works

select all the parts, right click it in the explorer and click export selection

after that open assett manager in the view tab, insert the mesh and select import as single mesh

A script must do that, I want to fuse the parts in-game.

Is there any way to execute this by making this group of parts one single mesh in roblox studio with script?

What if you deleted the model and replaced it with a mesh of the parts. Can that work?

How do I replace it with the mesh of the parts?

Like, create the mesh, then put it somewhere you can pick it up later, and once done delete the model containing the part and parent the mesh to the workspace

What do you mean with create a mesh?

What that guy said:

I recommend duplicating the model i case it deletes the model and replaces it with a mesh

It has to be in-game and with script

What I mean is that you could delete the model and replace it with a mesh with a script. But to do the mesh you first have to create it in studio.

Ok, I now see what you mean. But, have you already tried this in-game in Roblox Studio? Does it work?

Try breaking it down, combine each n (ex. 10) parts into a union, then recursively call the function that combined them so that it combines another n parts (randomly) and when there’s less than n, make it combine all the parts there, should theoretically work.

I’ve tried that already, It doesnt work.
