getmobinrange()

it kept printing {...}

[fallen portal]

Use OverlapParams with FilterType = Include and pass mobs:GetChildren() to GetPartBoundsInBox() this filters the results to only mob parts. Without it, it returns everything nearby

getmobinrange()

this my version inspired by yours but it still doesnt work

** You are now Level 7! **

[uneven furnace]

it now prints {}

[fallen portal]

You need to collect all the parts inside each mob model and use those in FilterDescendantsInstances for GetPartBoundsInBox to detect them

[uneven furnace]

how?

[fallen portal]

You see this line?
params.FilterDescendantsInstances = mobs:GetChildren() This gives parts, models, or folders inside mobs If your enemies are Models, GetChildren() won’t return the individual parts inside them, which is what GetPartBoundsInBox() checks for

[uneven furnace]

so i use getdescendants

?

ill js copy paste ur scripts inside to see if it works

now it dont even print anything

[fallen portal]

If you want I can look further into this dms but im not trying to spend too much time on it. Maybe you can just give me access as an editor to your game file

[hollow igloo]

** You are now Level 2! **

[uneven furnace]

i removed the params and it still prints {}

[uneven furnace]

nah im good

[fallen portal]

Make sure the mobs have psychical parts

[uneven furnace]

physical parts?

[fallen portal]

BasePart (like Part, MeshPart, or HumanoidRootPart)

[uneven furnace]

yeah i think it is cause i use rigbuilder to import it

[fallen portal]

possibly

I dont know how else to help you without further details on what you have so far

sorry 😦
