Unable to cast Array to OverlapParams - Error

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m just trying to cycle through all the players touching the part and returning any players it finds. I’m not really familiar with OverlapParams but I figured it would be perfect to learn about it for this script.

Basically the script gets a tagged part, finds which tagged part, finds the players on it and then runs the rest. I got many errors and I can’t find any real documentation with other people that did this type of thing. My latest error is…

Here’s what I have so far,

local ButtonConfig = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService"):FindFirstChild("ButtonConfig"))
local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")

local taggedParts = CollectionService:GetTagged("TheHitBoxes")
local activeInteractions = {} -- Table to store active button interactions

-- Function to check if the player's parts overlap with the button
local function CheckOverlap(buttonPart, playerParts)
	local overlapParams = OverlapParams.new()
	overlapParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {buttonPart} -- Only check for collisions with the button
	overlapParams.CollisionGroup = "Default" 

	local overlappingParts = game.Workspace:GetPartsInPart(buttonPart, overlapParams) -- (Line 47, buttonPart)
	local playersTouchingButton = {}

	for _, part in ipairs(overlappingParts) do
		if CollectionService:HasTag(part, "Player") then
			local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
			if player then
				-- Add the player to the table
				table.insert(playersTouchingButton, player)
			end
		end
	end

	return playersTouchingButton
end

for _, tp in pairs(taggedParts) do
	tp.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
		local character = otherPart.Parent
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)

		if player and character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			local buttonName = tp.Parent.Name
			local buttonCost = ButtonConfig[buttonName].ButtonCost
			local buttonValue = ButtonConfig[buttonName].ButtonValue
			local playerstats = player:WaitForChild("playerstats")
			local buttonPresses = playerstats:WaitForChild("ButtonPresses")

			-- Check if the player is touching the button continuously
			local touchingButton = true
			local buttonPart = tp -- button part the player is touching

			while touchingButton do
				local playerParts = character:GetChildren()
				local playersTouchingButton = CheckOverlap(buttonPart, playerParts)

				for _, touchingPlayer in ipairs(playersTouchingButton) do
					if not activeInteractions[touchingPlayer] then
						activeInteractions[touchingPlayer] = true
						local energy = touchingPlayer.leaderstats.Energy.Value

						if energy >= buttonCost then
							energy = energy - buttonCost
							local playerElement = playerstats:FindFirstChild(buttonName)
							if playerElement then
								playerElement.Value = playerElement.Value + buttonValue -- Update the appropriate playerstats element
							else
								warn("Matching playerstats child not found for:", buttonName)
							end
							buttonPresses.Value = buttonPresses.Value + 1
						else
							print("Player does not have enough energy")
							touchingButton = false
							break
						end

						activeInteractions[touchingPlayer] = nil
					end
				end

				if not touchingButton then
					break
				end

				wait()
			end
		end
	end)
end

I’ve been at this for the better part of 3 days so I came here. This is an extension of my previous query if anyone’s read it.
