As the title says, Region3 is deprecated (Which is very unfortunate because I actually think it’s a great hitbox system). Does this mean i can’t use it? What are the risks? Will my games combat system break with future studio updates? I really like region3. I recently created a hitbox system using it, and it works absolutely perfect. It’s great for both melee and ranged combat.
Deprecation means that the feature is no longer actively maintained and may be removed in future updates. While it still works, Roblox recommends using alternatives for new projects to ensure forward compatibility and to leverage improvements in the API. So yes, you can still technically use it (:
Removed??? Thats risky. I guess I should use an alternative.
Roblox rarely removes deprecated features outright, but there’s always a risk in depending on them for new projects

@Mischiefing put it very well. You should put focus on leveraging improvements in the API, as that’s why a new solution to spatial querying was created. These alternatives are often more performant, user-friendly, and feature-packed. The moral of the story is not to be discouraged from a deprecated API member solely because it has a chance of being removed

You can use it sure, but when it comes to anything getting deprecated, always make sure you have an alternative on the off chance Roblox removes it.

What is the best alternative? I’ve read that GetPartInParts is pretty similar to region3. I’ve also just found something called shapecast but haven’t done too much reading into it yet.
I’m tempted to keep region3, but if they decide to remove it, it will ruin my whole game.
Region got deprecated years ago? I’d imagine if they were gonna remove it, it would of already happened.
The spatial query API replaced Region3’s associated spatial-querying functions. The class itself is not deprecated—it is still used with other functions
