I wanted a script to detect movement for like a security alarm, I wanted to like put the script in a case and when it detects a person within 4 metres it sets the alarm off, Could someone provide an example script for this?
Thanks,

Best way to do this would be a magnitude check from the camera to the players torso, magnitude is fortunately a property of any vector calculation so your script could look something like this
local camera = script.Parent
while true do
wait()
for k, v in next, game.Players:GetChildren() do
local torso = v.Character.Torso
if (camera.Position - torso.Position).magnitude < 20 then -- assuming 5 studs is a meter.
soundAlarm(); -- a function you can define for the alarm stuff
end
end
end
Hope this helps.
I think you should use FindPartOnRay() for that, but OnTouched() will be fine too.
Main = script.Parent
function onTouched(part)
--do something over there
end
Main.Touched:connect(onTouched)
Edit
local ray = Ray.new(
Vector3.new(0, 0, 0), -- Where to start
Vector3.new(4, 0, 0) -- How long
)
local part = game.Workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray)
if part.Name == "Torso" or "LeftLeg" or "RightLeg" or "Head" or "LeftArm" or "RightArm" then
--Do alarm thing there
end
Here, I wrote a simple script for you to use to do that. Modify the variable, dist, to the amount of studs the player must be within to set off the alarm. Also, make sure you point the alarm variable to the alarm.
alarm = -- point to the alarm
function findNearestTorso(pos)
local list = game.Workspace:children()
local torso = nil
local temp = nil
local dist = 10
local human = nil
local temp2 = nil
for x = 1, #list do
temp2 = list[x]
if (temp2.className == "Model") and (temp2 ~= script.Parent) then
temp = temp2:findFirstChild("Torso")
human = temp2:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if (temp ~= nil) and (human ~= nil) and (human.Health > 0) then
if (temp.Position - pos).magnitude < dist then
torso = temp
dist = (temp.Position - pos).magnitude
end
end
end
end
return torso
end
while wait() do
target = findNearestTorso(alarm.Position)
if(target ~= nil) then
-- start alarm
else
-- stop alarm
end
end

The only problem with that, Panzer is i dont want the thing to be touched I want the find part on ray bit could you change the script to findpartonray() for me please, Thanks
