attempting to finds parts in a region prints a table with random numbers instead of parts?
local ignorelist = script.Parent.Part,script.Parent.RegionPart local center = script.Parent.Part.Position local size = script.Parent.RegionPart.Position local region = Region3.new((center - size/2),(center + size/2)) local parts = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(region,ignorelist) while true do wait(1) print(parts) end
Im new to region3 so I dont know too much about it, but im trying to create a region3 area with a center point. and then Im trying to print whatever is inside of that region. but instead of getting a part name I get this:
table: 0000027F00EF2C40

You're just printing out the table, use iteration to iterate through it and then print out what's inside. awfulszn 394 — 5y

how can I do that? I looked up "Tables" on the wiki and im not quite sure how this can be used with my current setup. mantorok4866 201 — 5y

What is "table: 0000027F00EF2C40"?
This is the table's hexadecimal memory address. This is perfectly normal. If you want to print the elements of the table, use table.unpack.
lua
print(unpack(parts));
There is also table.concat:
lua
print(table.concat({'a', 'b', 'c', 'd'}, ", "));
Where ", " is your delimiter that separates each element. It can be anything, even a semicolon (;) for example.
But for that last solution it will not work in this case since it can error if a non-string or non-number is encountered

while I was waiting for an answer I found another solution to fit my needs. instead of using region3 to get parts in an area I found out I can just use GetTouchingParts(). but thank you for this answer just in case I need to use region3 in the future. mantorok4866 201 — 5y
