Hey, trying to figure out how i can get the closest part which is in a direcition
using dot and magnitudes

i think i have a start atleast:

function Climbing:GetClosestClimbableToDir(CurrentClimbable:BasePart,ToCompare)
	local Climbables = workspace.Climbables:GetChildren()
	
	for i,Climbable:BasePart in pairs(Climbables) do
		local CF = Climbable.CFrame
		
		Climbables[i] = {
			(CurrentClimbable.Position - Climbable.Position).Magnitude,
			(-CF[ToCompare]):Dot(CurrentClimbable.CFrame[ToCompare]),
			Climbable
		}
	end
	
	table.sort(Climbables,function(a,b)
		return a[1] < b[1] and a[2] > b[2]
	end)

	print(Climbables)
	return Climbables[1]
end

if anyone knows a way to fix it or have a solution i’d appreciate it

Have you considered raycasting?
