Description

A SensorBase is an instance that, when parented to a BasePart, outputs additional data about the world around that part. This data is presented in the sensor's "output" property category. Often, other systems will consume the sensor's output data.

UpdateType

TypeDefault
SensorUpdateType

Determines how the sensor will update its output data.

With SensorUpdateType.OnRead, internal sensor logic is run so that the output properties are always up to date. In this mode, the sensor will only run if you read the properties and they are currently outdated.

With SensorUpdateType.Manual, the output properties will never change. Instead, you can write your own scripts to set the output properties as you like.
