Part's Magnitude Including Size? [closed]
see what ever parts is close to base INCLUDING SIZE like if part.Size = Vector3.new(9,20,2) if part magnitude is close to part in that size,or like if u making a kamehameha and the beam goes forward it dont only check the middle point if the part extends it gets the front to bck magnitude and runs script

Haven't been able to test it but this should theoretically work, assuming that the parts are rectangular
FYI I only answered this because I wanted to know how to do this also, and I don't think anybody would have ever answered this question because of the request site thing.
local lowestMagnitude = 10000
local partWithMagnitude = nil
local part = game.Workspace.Part
local function goThroughParts(v)
if #v:GetChildren() ~= 0 then
for i, v2 in pairs(v:GetChildren()) do
goThroughParts(v2)
end
end
if v:IsA("Part") then -- This is where it actually does the comparison based on size
local p = v.Position
local s = v.Size
local function getClosest(i, j, k, l)
if (i + j > k + l and i - j < k + l) or
(i + j > k - l and i - j > k - l) then
return 0, 0
elseif(i + j < k - l) then
return i + j, k - l
elseif(i - j > k + l) then
return i - j, k + l
end
end
local closestX, closestPartX = getClosest(p.X, s.X / 2, part.Position.X, part.Size.X / 2)
local closestY, closestPartY = getClosest(p.Y, s.Y / 2, part.Position.Y, part.Size.Y / 2)
local closestZ, closestPartZ = getClosest(p.Z, s.Z / 2, part.Position.Z, part.Size.Z / 2)
local magnitude = (Vector3.new(closestX, closestY, closestZ) - Vector3.new(closestPartX, closestPartY, closestPartZ)).magnitude
if magnitude > lowestMagnitude then
lowestMagnitude = magnitude
partWithMagnitude = v
end
end
end
for i,v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
goThroughParts(v)
end
print(partWithMagnitude)

on line 27 it says vector3 expected got number DarkerThanBlack20 -11 — 7y
0
Added 2 parenthesis to code so it's (Vector3 - Vector3).magnitude blowup999 659 — 7y
0
when i run the script it keeps on printing nil DarkerThanBlack20 -11 — 7y
