Alternative to touched event that isn't raycast

[thorn edge]

Say I have a Player and I wanted them to run around in a board and do something when they touch a tile inside the board. Currently my code looks something like this

for _, BodyPart in Character:GetChildren()
  if BodyPart:IsA("BasePart") and BodyPart.Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart" then
    BodyPart.Touched:Connect(function(OtherPart)
      ...
    end)
  end
end

This works perfectly but issue is this stops working when I play an animation on my character, I would assume this has to do with Touched event being physics based. I tried other alternative such as Raycast which solved my issue with the animation at the cost of it being inaccurate.

It's even worse for other alternatives such as Worldroot:GetPartsInPart() and Worldroot:GetPartsInBoundBox() as they're both inaccurate and stops working when run animation is played.

This script is placed inside of a local script, I am aware this is a bad practice but this isn't a concern as of right now.

btw that code i wrote is just a pseduocode, the actual issue is hitbox being not accurate and this is espacially a problem because my character will ragdoll, rotating and get flinged all over the board

getpartsinpart

@thorn edge

it returns an array so you can use it in a for loop

to check for anything touching the part

I did used it but as I explained, it's worse than normal raycast

Both inaccurate and stops working when I play animations on character

er

i never used worldroot getpartsinpart

always workspace

i doubt it'll be any different tho

wdym by raycast being inaccurate btw

like it not triggering sometimes?

[thorn edge]

Worldroot is just referring to workspace

[brazen wind]

ah ic

[thorn edge]

Worldroot can either be workspace or world model

In my case it's workspace

alr

Basically because raycast shoots lines downwards from the center of a part to detect an object, when the player touches a tile using their far side of limb, it doesn't register cuz technically it's not touching yet.

Comparison between touched and raycast

I don't know why GetPartsInPart and GetPartsInBoundBox also does this

Apparently they're just raycast too

Don't know if I should use shapecast knowing it's performance heavy and I assume it only works in one direction when my game sometimes rotate the board to the side or make it upside down

im just use :GetTouchingParts

or you can use GetPartsInPart in part that connected to your leg and have bigger hitbox

Nvm I just found out you can use :Touched event inside the humanoid itself and that fixes the problem with script stop functioning while playing an animation + it removes the need for me to loop through every single instance inside a character
