What's a better way of finding all of the parts/unionoperations in a certain area?
After learning how to use Region3 efficiently, I realized it is greatly limited. It can only return 20 parts at max! Is there a more efficient way to find ALL the parts in a region? I'm not looking for someone to "fix" my script, I'm looking for a method or a solution to my problem. Thanks!
My code utilizing Region3
function drawRegion(Start,End)
return Region3.new(
Vector3.new(
math.min(Start.X,End.X),
math.min(Start.Y,End.Y),
math.min(Start.Z,End.Z)
),
Vector3.new(
math.max(Start.X,End.X),
math.max(Start.Y,End.Y),
math.max(Start.Z,End.Z)
)
)
end

FindPartsInRegion3/FindPartsInRegion3WithIgnoreList can return up to 100 parts; the default is 20. If you want to get more, repeat the operation while adding everything found to the ignore list until nothing more is found.
function getParts(Start,End)
local region=drawRegion(Start,End)
local found={}
while true do
local list=workspace:FindPartsInRegion3WithIgnoreList(region,found,100)
if #list==0 then break end
for i=1,#list do
found[#found+1]=list[i]
end
end
return found
end

This looks like it will work for me, thanks! xolbStudios 127 — 9y
