Introduction

I use Region3 to detect players and objects. These Region3 are not premade but created with a tool like this:

Code

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local region
local part
 
local localPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local backpack = localPlayer:WaitForChild("Backpack")
 
local tool = Instance.new("Tool")
tool.RequiresHandle = false
tool.CanBeDropped = false 
tool.Parent = backpack


 
tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
	mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
		if mouse.Target and mouse.Target.Parent then
			region = Region3.new(Vector3.new(mouse.X, 0, mouse.Y), Vector3.new(mouse.X, 50, mouse.Y))
			
			part = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
				part.Anchored = true
				part.Size = Vector3.new(10, 50, 10)
				part.CFrame = mouse.Hit --return CFrame
				part.CanCollide = false;
				part.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) --Comment this and you will understand...
				part.Color = Color3.new(255, 20, 60)
				part.Name = "Pipe"
		end
	end)
end)

while true do
		wait()
		local partsInRegion = game.workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(region, part, 100)
		for i, part in pairs (partsInRegion) do
			print("Player is in area")
		end
end

in this part 

while true do
		wait()
		local partsInRegion = game.workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(region, part, 100)
		for i, part in pairs (partsInRegion) do
			print("Player is in area")
		end
end

Which is from another code I made where I tested the concept of Region3 on a LocalScript I try to make the detections.

local region = Region3.new(Vector3.new(1, 1, 1), Vector3.new(10, 10, 10))

local part = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
part.Anchored = true
part.CanCollide = false
part.CFrame = region.CFrame
part.Size = region.Size

while true do
		wait()
		local partsInRegion = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(region, part, 100)
		for i, part in pairs (partsInRegion) do
			print("Player is in area")
		end
end

print("end")

Idea behind all of this

I want to create a "thin" Region3 that gets the names of certain objects in its path (not infinite) and for now I am not going to use a Ray.
