Determine if part is overhanging?
Hi folks! I've been racking my brain on this problem and can't figure a solution. Imagine a baseplate with a part on top. I'm trying to determine if the part is overhanging the base instead of being fully in contact.
A part's position doesn't change on rotation, but it can change from being fully in contact to overhanging if the part is a rectangular shape. Comparing the positions of the baseplate and part is definitely the right way to go, but I can't figure out to determine whether to use the X or Z size in my calculation since it changes on rotation.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Here's a simple solution. Will print validity of part as you move/rotate it.
01 | local base = workspace.Base |
02 | local obj = workspace.Part |
03 | local pos |
04 | local ori; |
05 |
06 | while true do |
07 | if(pos~=obj.Position)or(ori~=obj.Orientation)then |
08 | pos=obj.Position |
09 | ori=obj.Orientation |
10 | local valid=false |
11 | local baseX =math.abs(base.Position.X)+(base.Size.X/2) |
12 | local baseZ =math.abs(base.Position.Z)+(base.Size.Z/2) |
13 | local objX, objZ; |
14 | if(math.abs(obj.Orientation.Y)==90)then |
15 | --Xsize is Zdir |
