Anything is possible in the rbx world. TrollD3 105 — 9y

I dont rhink that is possible, without lots of positioning and ifs for camera ScriptFusion 210 — 9y

It's in that slender game. So it's possible. Problem is, I don't know how to do it, and a lot of others don't either. Vezious 310 — 9y

This script below will tell you all players in the client's view. This is done by using the :WorldToScreenPoint(Vector3) method of the camera.

01---LOCAL SCRIPT---
02local Players = game:GetService'Players'
03local RunService = game:GetService'RunService'
04 
05repeat RunService.RenderStepped:wait() until Players.LocalPlayer and Players.LocalPlayer.Character and workspace.CurrentCamera -- Wait until the stuff we need is here
06 
07local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
08local player = Players.LocalPlayer
09local character = player.Character
10 
11function getPlayers()
12    local tab = {}
13    for i,v in next,Players:GetPlayers() do -- :GetPlayers() returns a table of all Players and only players
14        if v ~= player then -- If the player isn't equal to the client's player
15            table.insert(tab,v)
16        end
17    end
18    return tab
19end
20 
21function getPlayersInView(t)
22    local tab = {} -- Create the table
23    for i,v in next,t do
24        if v and v:IsA("Player") and v.Character then -- Check if the value is a player and has a character
25            local torso = v.Character:FindFirstChild'Torso'
26            if torso then -- Check for a torso
27                local screenCords,IsInView = camera:WorldToScreenPoint(torso.Position) -- Returns coordinates of the position mapped to screen coordinates along with a bool if the position is visible on the screen
28                if IsInView then
29                    table.insert(tab,v) -- Add the value to the table
30                end
31            end
32        end
33    end
34    return tab -- Return the table
35end
36 
37 
38while wait(2) do -- Only runs every 2 seconds
39    local playersInView = getPlayersInView(getPlayers())
40    if #playersInView >= 1 then -- If the players in the camera's view are greater than or equal to 1
41        for i,v in next,playersInView do
42            print(v.Name)
43        end
44    else
45        print("No players in view")
46    end
47end

Dude, you know that... This was a request question and you shouldn't answer it like that, all he's asking is if it's possible. You can't give him a script if he doesn't provide one for you. EzraNehemiah_TF2 3552 — 9y

he asked if it was possible, i gave him an example so he could understand how it would work 4Bros 550 — 9y
