So I want to get all parts inside workspace from a script. Like every BasePart or something.

local base_parts = { }

for _, descendant in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
    if descendant:IsA("BasePart") then
        table.insert(base_parts, descendant)
    end
end

not much to say.

But what if they’re inside a model?

If you only want it to get every part on the first layer of the Workspace, you can call :GetChildren() on the Workspace – if you want to access every part regardless if it’s inside of a folder, model, etc., you can call :GetDescendants() on the Workspace instead.

More info about these can be found from the following resources:

Instance:GetChildren()

Instance:GetDescendants()

That is why I used :GetDescendants

@sjr04 Will still work as GetDescendants will also check the children of the of the children of workspace and so on

Oh okay, I did not know I could use :GetDescendants
