The tools for using it won't be turned on until the CSG Modeler gets shipped over to the mobile app, but the API is present inside of studio.

For instance, you can create a UnionOperation and a NegateOperation using the command bar

Instance.new("UnionOperation",workspace)
Instance.new("NegateOperation",workspace)

I'm a very crafy user, and I'll probably figure out a way to activate the tool using some neat tricks I have up my sleeve.

This feature is going to be huge.

I'd like it if you could keep me, among others, posted on how you'll be cracking this, since I am very curious to start toying with it myself.

I found the commands. They are indeed present inside of studio.
Unfortunately my crafty idea didn't work. They are one step ahead.

If the commands were enabled, this would allow me to perform the operation on the selection I have in studio.

game:GetService("TestService"):DoCommand("NegateSelection")
game:GetService("TestService"):DoCommand("UnionSelection")
game:GetService("TestService"):DoCommand("SeperateSelection")

In the OP you mentioned that you were making Union and Negation operations as new instances. Perhaps you could try to set the selected parts as children of that instance rather than trying to do a command, and then setting that instance to be a child of the primary part/hitbox?

I was looking in the comments of the video to see what it did.
I scroll up for 2 seconds to see a hole in the brick and the ball missing.
My jaw broke itself when I saw what it did.

Alright, here's what I was thinking in code if it helps at all

local parts=workspace.Model:GetChildren()
local Union=Instance.new("UnionOperation")

for _,v in pairs(parts) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
v.Parent=Union

Union.Parent=workspace.Part

See what I'm getting at?

@Spiro

fixed your script



local parts=workspace.Model:GetChildren()
local Union=Instance.new("UnionOperation")

for _,v in pairs(parts) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
v.Parent=Union
end
end

Union.Parent=workspace.Part

Children of a UnionOperation do not "combine" like you'd think. It requires a special function.

Makes sense to me. I kind of figured they'd need some kind of function like that, but I figured that since Roblox is built in such a 'tree-like' fashion, that may be the case. Ah well.
Anyone else got a crafty idea, or are the devs just too crafty? :3

Edit an RBXM to include a working UnionOperation, then insert it in a game.

Oh boy, I thought we may have to play with RBXMs. Us ambitious little builders. I suppose I'll give it a shot, but I'm hardly used to editing RBXM files, so this may take some effort. Still, a good enough idea in theory.

Wait, hold up. I think this link may be of significance, assuming you can potentially export CSG parts from the gametest site onto your machine and into standard ROBLOX.

I'm not sure how clear the rules are on linking to the gametest sites, but I'll simply say that the place ID is '70377705' and it's on gametest4.
