How do I use GetTouchingParts with a non CanCollide object?
Title says it all, my problem is using GetTouchingParts, but the object is non CanCollide Is there an alternate to GetTouchingParts, or is this just not possible?

This is a bit of a hacky solution, but yes, it's possible.
Per the Wiki, if the part that is not collidable has a TouchInterest, it will count as touching as if it were collidable. So you could connect an empty function for this behavior. It's worth noting that you can't call Instance.new() to create a TouchInterest.
Assume we had two parts A and B in workspace, where B is inside A, and B is not collidable.
workspace.B.Touched:Connect(function() end) print(#workspace.A:GetTouchingParts()) --> 1
On the other hand, there may be better solutions to the actual problem you want solved, other than doing this.
