How can I get the area between multiple parts?
I have tried quite a few methods, I am trying to get the area between multiple parts so the item I place down can only be placed n that area, and not on the outside of that area.
Here is an image of the area: pasteboard.co/HVrdQ2a.png
001 | local m = {} |
002 |
003 | -- Priority Variables |
004 | local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService") |
005 | local runService = game:GetService("RunService") |
006 | local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") |
007 | local furniture = rs["Furniture"] |
008 | local remotes = rs["Remotes"] |
009 | local confrimPlacement = remotes["ConfirmPlacement"] |
010 |
011 | -- Secondary Variables |
012 | local studio = workspace:WaitForChild("Harbour Studio") |
013 | local studioFurniture = studio["Furniture"] |
014 | local owner = studio["Owner"] |

I think you mean magnitude. You can use magnitude to find the distance between two objects. Here's an example:
1 | local Part1 = workspace.Part1 |
2 | local Part2 = workspace.Part2 |
3 |
4 | local magnitude = (Part.Position - Part2.Position).magnitude |

Magnitude is basically the distance between 2 points, in your case it's the distance between your 2 parts. The distance is measured in studs so if you were to do
1 | local Part1 = game.workspace.Part1 |
2 | local Part2 = game.workspace.Part2 |
3 |
4 | local distance = (Part1.Position - Part2.Position).magnitude -- this finds the distance between the 2 parts |

6 | wait(3) |
7 | print("distance") |
What printing the distance will do is tell you the exact amount of studs between Part1 and Part2. You can do much more with it rather than just printing such as finding the distance between a part and a player's torso, then if the distance is less than or greater than a certain amount of studs, you can do something.
