HELP PLEASE!!! How can I find if there is a player in a Designated Area?

Hi,

I am making a Boss fight script, where the entrance will only open if there are no players left inside the arena.

I have Made a part that is the detector and covers the entire interior of the arena script.Parent.Insidebattle, I just need to find a way of detecting whether there is or isn't a player in there.

I have tried the following codes, and included the errors below each.

Code1

local Players = {} -- players in region gets stored into this table
local AreaPart = script.Parent.Insidebattle

function createRegion3FromPart(part)
	local Size = part.Size
	local Position = part.Position
	return Region3.new(Position-(Size/2), Position+(Size/2))
end

function getPlayersInPart(part)
	if part and part:IsA("BasePart") then 
		local newRegion = createRegion3FromPart(part)
		local partsInRegion = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(newRegion, nil, math.huge)
		local tempList = {} --this list resets each time
		for i, v in pairs(partsInRegion) do 
			if game.Players:FindFirstChild(v.Parent.Name) then 
				local player = game.Players[v.Parent.Name]
				table.insert(tempList, player)
				if not Players[player] then
					table.insert(Players, player)
				end
			end
		end
		for k,v in pairs(tempList) do --loop over every player found in this single check
			if not Players[v] then --if player hasn't been found which was found earlier, 
				table.remove(Players, v) --remove the player.
			end
		end
	end
end


while true do
	for i, v in pairs(Players) do
		print(tostring(v))
	end
	getPlayersInPart(AreaPart) wait(1);
end

16:53:27.061 - Workspace.ObbyStructure.L14.L15.Script:26: invalid argument #2 to 'remove' (number expected, got Instance)

Code2

--[[line114]]
			script.Parent.Insidebattle.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
--[[line116]]				if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") == nil then --check to see if player is still in minigame
					ResetBossFight()
--[[line 118]]					script.Parent.Door.HingeConstraint.AngularVelocity = 1
				else
--[[line 120]]					script.Parent.Door.HingeConstraint.AngularVelocity = -1
					--Continue with BossFight

17:23:47.833 - Workspace.ObbyStructure.L14.L15.Script:116: attempt to index nil with 'FindFirstChild' - when there were no players in.

If Possible, could you advise ways to improve on Code2 as I understand that more.

Here is my Full script for anybody wondering, and this is the best result I have got so far:

--[[local Players = {} -- players in region gets stored into this table
local AreaPart = script.Parent.Insidebattle

function createRegion3FromPart(part)
	local Size = part.Size
	local Position = part.Position
	return Region3.new(Position-(Size/2), Position+(Size/2))
end

function getPlayersInPart(part)
	if part and part:IsA("BasePart") then 
		local newRegion = createRegion3FromPart(part)
		local partsInRegion = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(newRegion, nil, math.huge)
		local tempList = {} --this list resets each time
		for i, v in pairs(partsInRegion) do 
			if game.Players:FindFirstChild(v.Parent.Name) then 
				local player = game.Players[v.Parent.Name]
				table.insert(tempList, player)
				if not Players[player] then
					table.insert(Players, player)
				end
			end
		end
		for k,v in pairs(tempList) do --loop over every player found in this single check
			if not Players[v] then --if player hasn't been found which was found earlier, 
				table.remove(Players, v) --remove the player.
			end
		end
	end
end


while true do
	for i, v in pairs(Players) do
		print(tostring(v))
	end
	getPlayersInPart(AreaPart) wait(1);
end

Any Help or suggestions will be most definitely appreciated.

You can't use table.remove(Players, V) as table.remove expects a number value, simply do:

local ToRemove = table.find(Players, v);
if ToRemove then
    table.remove(Players, ToRemove);
end

This works as table.find returns the value of where the Player is in the table.
