My Region3 Is detecting everything except me?
So I have an NPC that just scans the area around itself for players. Here's the script ``` local region = Region3.new(Vector3.new(hrp.X - range, hrp.Y - range, hrp.Z - range), Vector3.new(hrp.X + range, hrp.Y + range, hrp.Z + range))
local parts = game.Workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(region)
for a, b in pairs(parts) do
print("----")
print(b.Name)
print(b.Parent.Name)
print("----")
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(b.Parent.Name) then
print("Found player!")
person = b.Parent
end
end ``` (hrp is the NPC's HumanoidRootPart) (range = 15)
I get all the outputs but the output spits back everything that isn't part of my character. Here's what the output generally looks like ``` RightUpperArm
Dummy
LeftLowerLeg
Dummy
LeftFoot
Dummy
Handle
Rock *(Note: Rock is just a tool)
Handle
PaperHat
LeftUpperLeg
Dummy
``` Yeah it usually just detects itself and the house around it, even when I walk close. I can provide the entire script if it's neccesary, but I just included what I felt to be important.

This seems hard to debug from afar. Here are some changes I would suggest.
- Use GetPlayerFromCharacter. Character models can be renamed and so its better to have the roblox engine figure out player ownership of characters over guessing from the model name.
Visualize your region3 as you previously stated. Doing so is possible by creating a non-collide anchored transparent part with the same dimensions as your region and with the same center. Theoretically the code for that could look like ...
local region ... local visualizingpart = Instance.new("Part") visualizingpart.Anchored = true visualizingpart.CanCollide = false visualizingpart.Transparency = 0.5 visualizingpart.CFrame = region.CFrame visualizingpart.Size = region.Size
Other than that I don't see anything wrong with your code just eye-balling it. Check the hierarchy of the player character, perhaps body parts have a parent not named after the player?
