OverlapParams

OverlapParams stores parameters for use with WorldRoot boundary-querying functions, in particular WorldRoot/GetPartBoundsInBox|GetPartBoundsInBox, WorldRoot/GetPartBoundsInRadius|GetPartBoundsInRadius and WorldRoot/GetPartsInPart|GetPartsInPart. The FilterDescendantsInstances property stores an array of objects to use as either a whitelist or blacklist based on the FilterType enum. The CollisionGroup property can specify a articles/Collision Filtering|collision group for the boundary query operation.

This data type performs a similar role as the datatype/RaycastParams type.

Unlike most datatypes on Roblox, all the members of OverlapParams can be changed without creating a new object. When performing boundary queries repeatedly, you should use the same object.

Constructors

OverlapParams.new ( )
Creates a blank `datatype/OverlapParams` object. Unlike other datatype constructors, this constructor does not have any parameters, so you should set its properties appropriately.

Properties

array OverlapParams.FilterDescendantsInstances
An array of objects whose descendants will be used in filtering raycasting candidates.

RaycastFilterType OverlapParams.FilterType
Determines how the `FilterDescendantsInstances` list will be used, depending on the `enum/RaycastFilterType` provided. `Enum.RaycastFilterType.Whitelist` — Only `BasePart\|BaseParts` which are descendants of objects in the filter list will be considered. `Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist` — Every `BasePart` in the game will be considered except those that are descendants of objects in the filter list.

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

string OverlapParams.CollisionGroup
Specifies a `articles/Collision Filtering\|collision group` for the operation. Parts in collision groups that are set to not collide with this group will be ignored. If this property is omitted, the operation will assume the Default collision group.
