OverlapParams

Show Deprecated

The OverlapParams data type stores parameters for use with WorldRoot boundary-querying functions, in particular WorldRoot:GetPartBoundsInBox(), WorldRoot:GetPartBoundsInRadius() and WorldRoot:GetPartsInPart(). The OverlapParams.FilterDescendantsInstances property stores an array of objects to use as either an inclusion or exclusion list based on the OverlapParams.FilterType enum, and the OverlapParams.CollisionGroup property can specify a collision group for the boundary query operation.

Unlike most data types in Luau, you can change all of the members of OverlapParams without creating a new object, allowing you to reuse the same object repeatedly.

Properties

FilterDescendantsInstances

An array of objects whose descendants is used in filtering candidates.

Determines how the OverlapParams.FilterDescendantsInstances array is used, depending on the Enum.RaycastFilterType provided. Default is Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude.

MaxParts

The maximum amount of parts to be returned by the query. The default value of zero (0) represents no limit.

CollisionGroup

Specifies a collision group for the operation. Parts in collision groups that are set to not collide with this group are ignored. If this property is omitted, the operation assumes the Default collision group.

RespectCanCollide

This property, if true, makes the boundary-querying operation use an intersected part's BasePart.CanCollide value in favor of its BasePart.CanQuery value when determining whether that part is included in the array of spatial query results.

BruteForceAllSlow

When enabled, the query will ignore all part collision properties and perform a brute-force check on every part. This will negatively impact performance and should not be used in live experiences.

Methods

AddToFilter

void
write parallel

For efficiency and simplicity, this method is the preferred way to add instances to the filter. It has the additional advantage that it allows FilterDescendantsInstances to be updated from a parallel context.

Parameters

instances: Instance | Array

An instance or an array containing instances to add.

Returns

void
