How does MakeJoints work?

#1

So I’m trying to create an adjacent parts detector. I noticed that :MakeJoints works almost exactly how I need. It seems to check for parts in only 6 directions, excluding diagonally adjacent parts.

Anyone has some ideas how it might work? Maybe a dev can help me out? Not sure whether it’s region3 check or something else. :GetTouchingParts is out since it only check for intersections and creating 3 temporary parts to check it sounds like bad thing to do performance wise

#3

no It doesn’t really tell anything about the way it detects parts with compatible surfaces and that’s the only thing I need.

Alternatively can anyone suggest what’d be the best way to check adjacent parts but not those that connect perfectly diagonal?
