What are some alternatives to Touched?
I know I have already asked many questions, but this is one I and my friend constantly struggle with. Touched being laggy. I know there's raycasting, but how is that used? I don't think the wiki explained it well enough. (I just need an alternative, if you have something that's not Touched that would be appreciated!)

It depends on what your using it for. I do agree the touched event is not the best case to go to. There are other alternatives. Like you mentioned: raycasting.
-- Raycasting --
Raycasting is a great alternative. I suggest you try to get help from YouTube since you don't quite understand it from the wiki. Basically, you cast a ray from the part to where you want to detect. I know it may be a little confusing.
-- Region3 --
Region3 is also a good alternative. Say you want to detect if a player is within a part. Basically you would make a region3 on the part and make the Y-Axis a little bigger. So as I was explaining, to detect a player, you would use the built in function for region3 and find "Part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")" There are also other ways to do it. But this worked the easiest for me.
Well, those are the only alternatives that I have used and had worked. There may be other ones out there, but these do work quite well. I hope I helped you out. Thanks, and keep on scripting!
