You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

The type of hitbox im using is GetPartsInParts, if this information is important.

What im trying to do is make it so that even if the Hitbox hits the mob, but, the mob is behind a wall Itll ignore it. But if its hitting mobs thats not in behind of a wall then itll still hit the mobs. The other problems Ive encountered is that when making that script, when the mobs stack up on each other (the mobs dont have collision they can go inside each other) the Raycast think that its a wall and just ignores it.

The part that is red well call Hitbox. What im scared is the Raycast will detect theres a wall and then just ignores the other mobs that are not behind the wall.

This script is a module script, I thought itd be an important information.

I would recommend raycasting. To solve the issue, use continue to skip that mob and continue checking the rest. The code below is an example of how it would work

for i, v in pairs(PartsInParts) do
	--  wall raycasting detection code here
	
	if RaycastSuccess == true then
		RegisterHit(v)
	else
		continue
	end
end
#3 
for _, v in PartsInPart do
    local RayResult = ... 
    if RayResult then RegisterHit(v) else continue
end

and better use workspace:GetBoundsInBox() instead of workspace:GetPartsInPart()

How come I should use getboundsinbox instead if get parts in part?
