Parts that know when the player is/isn't looking at them?
I've seen it done on games before so I know it's possible.
I'm trying to create a scenario where when the player looks at an object, looks away, and looks back again, the object is removed/destroyed. I've tried using a local script, and using the function WorldToScreenPoint() with the camera but I failed tragically.
How would I accomplish this?
My failed attempt that gave me the error "Unable to cast array to Vector3"
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
while true do
if cam:WorldToScreenPoint({-28, 0.6, 25}) == true then --checking if anyone is looking at camera
repeat wait() until cam:WorldToScreenPoint({-28, 0.6, 25}) == false -- waits until they aren't looking at the camera
game.Workspace.Part:Destory()
end
end

Using the Camera method is a good idea, do you still have the code with it? If I was in this scenario I would use it. Sorry I cannot use the comments yet, so if you do paste it, ill edit this post again.
EDITED (6:42) - the error you got is because it returns 2 values, a Vector3 and a boolean EDITED (6:44) - Just looked at your code again, the argument for it needs to be a Vector3 also

It seemed to work for me, but remember it is an example, it is not meant to be good I guess.

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
local camera = workspace:FindFirstChild("Camera") --you could do workspace.CurrentCamera
local test = workspace:FindFirstChild("TestPart")
local deb = false
local counter = 0
function Looked()
if (not camera) then return end
if (not test) then return end
local a, b = camera:WorldToScreenPoint(test.CFrame.p)
if (b == true) then
deb = true
end
if (b == false) then
if (deb == true) then
counter = counter + 1
print("Looked af")
end
deb = false
end
end
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:connect(function()
Looked()
if (counter == 2) then --depending on whether you want them to look at it again before it disappear or disappears after one look depends
test:Destroy()
end
end)

Theres one thing wrong with it, you should disconnect the event when (RenderStepped) when the part is no more, and instead of upvaluing the test variable from the main scope, you could pass it as an argument in the function
