How to get touching parts

[iiCant_Read (Naoto)]

GetTouchingParts() doesnt seem to actually get touching parts
I wanna get the parts that it is colliding with at one time
How can I achieve this?

workspace:GetPartsInPart probably does it.

Sample code:

local touchingParts = workspace:GetPartsInPart(workspace.Part)

GetTouchingParts does not return any instances unless the part is collidable, or a Touched event is instated. Personally, when I use this method, I do something like this:

local Interest = part.Touched:Connect(function()end)
local Touching = part:GetTouchingParts()
Interest:Disconnect()

HOWEVER, I suggest using @Lielmaster’s solution, as it more efficient in most circumstances. Unless you have a bias towards GetTouchingParts.

@Volieb

@Lielmaster’s solution will work if the touching parts are actually inside the part itself, and not merely “touching” it

Actually, all parts that are touching the given part will be returned. It should not necessarily be inside the part.

Oh, nice. It even seems like I said exactly what the documentation says Thank you for pointing that out.
