How to check if the player is in a certain area?
So I'm trying to figure out how to check if a player is in a specific area in the map, but I don't know what method to use. Basically I want it so while the player is in an area a value is set in their player to true. This would then communicate with other scripts to make an effect.

This is pretty simple. You can use Region3.new() . That is one method. You can put a Part in the area that you want the player to be in. Region3
This is the script
01 | local part = -- Put the part path here. |
02 | local value = -- Put the value name here(In a string, else it will not work), Has to be in the player and not in one of the children of the player |
03 | function CreateRegion3(Part) |
04 | return Region3.new(Part.Position-(Part.Size/2), Part.Position+(Part.Size/2)) |
05 | end |
06 |
07 | function FindPlayerInRegion3FromPart(PartToFindPlayerIn) |
08 | local partForRegion = CreateRegion3(PartToFindPlayerIn) |
09 | local playersInRegion3 = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(partForRegion, nil, math.huge) |
10 |
11 | for i, v in pairs(playersInRegion3) do |
12 | local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(v.Parent) |
13 | if player ~= nil then |
14 | if player:FindFirstChild(value) then |
15 | player[value].Value = true |

If this does not work, please comment and I will try to fix it. After this you can do the communicating with scripts for the effect.

Thank you so much. But PartToFindPlayerIn is undefined. d1_rek 46 — 4y

Oh, my bad. PartToFindPlayerIn at the bottom of the code should be replaced with the part variable defined at the top. messi55313 -2 — 4y
