What is the best way to check if a part is part of character

[open bramble]

local function Hit(plr : Players, Position : Vector3)
    Connection = RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(dt)
        local result = Raycast(plr, Position)
        if result and result.Instance:IsDescendantOf("Model") then
            
        end
    end)
end

If the part's parent returns a player, it's from a character

thx 🙂

just hit play then go to explorer while your playing, select your character and see your parts by right clicking on your character and clicking expand all

if your using r6. there should be 6 parts. r15. 15 parts

[prisma haven]

I think they meant via script

[crisp tiger]

oh alright

could be done in both

but imo manually is easier for me

[open bramble]

I dont think that is what i need

[prisma haven]

When you say "character" I assume you meant the character of a player

if Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) returns anything other than nil, then the part belongs to a character

[open bramble]

will it cause error if part.parent is just a regular part?

Nope. Just tested it.

print(
  game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(
    Instance.new("Part")
  )
)

returns nil

[open bramble]

okay thx

[open bramble]

is there a way to get the player directly?

[warm mason]

game.players.getplayerfromcharacter(hitpart.parent) is the direct way.

unless you meant game.players.getplayerfromuserid(player.userid) or something

[open bramble]

i got a raycast
i want a way to check is result instance is a character model

[warm mason]

don't you mean check if the instance is a player's character?

[open bramble]

i just want the play model

[warm mason]

hit.parent?

[open bramble]

but how do i check if that is the character?

[warm mason]

with this

i'm confused

[open bramble]

oh i got do that

ty!

i meant that only give the player tho

ik i got do plr.character but is therea faster way?
