How can you tell if a person is above a part?
I would like to close a Gui when a player is not over or under a brick. This means using part.Position and part.Size. Is there a way to combine these two and use .magnitude to make this statement false?
1 | player=game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 | flor=game.Workspace.flor |
3 |
4 | while wait(1) do |
5 | if not(player:DistanceFromCharacter(flor.Position)><=?) then |
6 | script.Parent.Parent.Visible=false |
7 | end |
8 | end |

Are you wanting to do this only when the player is touching the brick or do you want to do this whenever the player is directly above / below the brick? NoahWillCode 370 — 9y

What do you mean by "over"? In any of the space above? Even if there's another floor between you and the `flor` part? Only standing directly on it? BlueTaslem 18071 — 9y

if the player is between the x and z coordinates of the part. BobserLuck 367 — 9y

I could do a couple of if statements but I'd rather not. BobserLuck 367 — 9y

Have you tried using a Region3 and just setting the Y value of the player's character to the Y of the brick so that you don't have to check that? http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Region3 NoahWillCode 370 — 9y

Maybe you can cast a ray above the brick to determine if the character is directly above. Here is some sample code.
01 | local Part = workspace:WaitForChild("PARTNAMEHERE") |
02 |
03 | Part.Touched:connect(function(Hit) |
04 | if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then |
05 | local Ray = Ray.new(Part.Position,Part.Position + Vector3.new(0,50,0)) |
06 | local Hit,Position = workspace:FindPartOnRay(Ray) |
07 |
08 | if Hit then |
09 | -- Your code here |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 | end |
