How do I find the model the player is walking on?

[Funny_Develop]

So I was wondering how would I find the model the player is walking on and prints name so if the player was walking on a model called “Cheese” then it would print “Cheese” Untill they walked of it and so on…

I was thinking is there a way to do this without using raycasting like does roblox have a API no one knows about that’s called something weird but would do what I need?

any help is welcome.

You could put a hitbox in the model and use a touched event on the hitbox

I did try that in the past but my script creates a model and the inserts parts into it but for some reason the models pivot wasn’t in the centre and when I tried using math to get the center position it just always had a offset.

You can use Raycasting.

Raycasting allows you to send a ray towards any direction, it’s like a bullet, when it stops it returns where it stopped, which part it touched when stopping, etc…

You can place a ray in the character’s HumanoidRootPart and shoot it towards the floor. Just get the part that collided with the ray and check if it’s inside the model. It’s easy!

I did something similar some time ago:

If you’d like to learn raycasting, you should check this tutorial by Roblox. Raycasting can be implemented in your game using the function workspace:Raycast() which I will tell you how to use: The first parameter of workspace:Raycast() is the Vector3 position in which the ray is going to start, in your case, it’s the pet’s position. The second parameter is going to represent the direction it’s going to be. Watch out! This parameter isn’t a position! This parameter is added by Roblox and will d…

I don’t think there’s a better way to implement this without using raycasting. Raycasting is the best option for this example, just a quick question, why don’t you want to use raycasting?

[DasKairo (Cairo)]

Dont ask me, ask the OP.

Its not that I don’t want to use it I just don’t really have experience with it and I was wondering if there is a better why to do it without using raycasting

I’ve read your past messages and you’ve mentioned that you don’t want to use a hitbox around the model because it messes up the pivot. But have you heard of Humanoid.Touched? This behaves the same way as BasePart.Touched but instead it checks if a part touched any of the character’s limbs. This might be a solution to your problem.
