How can I fix this part finding function?
I'm trying to make a function that returns false only if ANY part in workspace is within a certain range of a part called CSprout. My attempt is below and I'm not sure what I need to do to make it work. This isn't the whole script, just the function I'm trying to fix. If I need to clarify anything let me know. Thanks!
01 | local seed = script.Parent |
02 | local position = seed.Position |
03 | local RANGE = 5 |
04 |
05 | function spaceCheck(CSprout) |
06 | local OTHER = game.Workspace:GetChildren() |
07 |
08 | for index, child in pairs(OTHER) do |
09 | print(OTHER.Name) |
10 | if OTHER:IsA("Part") and (CSprout.Position - OTHER.Position).magnitude < RANGE then |
11 | return false |
12 | else return true |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | end |

You're checking if OTHER is a Part, while OTHER is actually the contents of Workspace. You need to check for child instead, such that:
01 | function spaceCheck(CSprout) |
02 | local OTHER = game.Workspace:GetChildren() |
03 | for index, child in pairs(OTHER) do |
04 | print(child.Name) |
05 | if child:IsA("BasePart") and (CSprout.Position - child.Position).magnitude < RANGE then |
06 | return false |
07 | else return true |
08 | end |
09 | end |
10 | end |
I also changed Part to BasePart to work with wedges and other parts under the BasePart category.
