How do you use WorldToViewportPoint()?
Can someone explain what WorldToViewportPoint() does? This is what I currently have:
1 | while true do |
2 | local CanSeePart = game.workspace.CurrentCamera:WorldToViewportPoint(game.workspace.Part.Position) |
3 | if CanSeePart then |
4 | print("Part is visible!") |
5 | else |
6 | print("Can't see the part!") |
7 | end |
8 | wait() |
9 | end |
It keeps printing "Part is visible!", even If I look away. Did I do something wrong?
Thanks.

Takes a 3D world point and returns the following: A Vector3 where the X/Y components map the position in screen coordinates the worldPoint maps to, and the Z component maps how far away from the screen plane the 3d position is (positive if in front of camera, negative if behind). And a boolean which is true if the point is visible on the screen or not.

In other words, you need to use the second returned value of the function to get whether it is visible or not.
1 | local position, isVisible = game.workspace.CurrentCamera:WorldToViewportPoint(game.workspace.Part.Position) |
2 |
3 | print(isVisible) -- Whether the part is currently visible or not. |
