Please provide explanation with your answers. Simply posting code does not spread knowledge of integral scripting processes which helps people understand the logic and reasoning behind your answer.
1 | function GetMassOfModel(model) |
2 | local mass = 0 |
3 | for i, v in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do |
4 | if v:IsA('BasePart') or v:IsA('Union') then |
5 | mass = mass + v:GetMass() |
6 | end |
7 | end |
8 | return mass |
9 | end |
Something like that; When this function is called on a model (as the argument), it iterates through each object in the model specified, checks if it's a physical object, and then adds that object's mass into a total (the mass variable), returning the variable when it's done iterating.

You made a small mistake. Remove the return statement out of the loop. Lacryma 548 — 9y

Replace IsA("Part") with IsA("BasePart"), that way it'll get the mass of wedges, balls, and other base parts as well. grasheeno 70 — 9y

They are UnionOperations, but they extend BasePart anyway. BlueTaslem 18071 — 9y
