I am making a Diorama of sorts and wanted to make a light that activates when you get close enough, and when you leave the area, it shuts back off. I was assuming it'd be the same way you would make detection areas to play music or sounds in only certain areas by hooking up two different blocks to one script, but I have no clue what I'm doing and have been trying to get this to work for the past day. I have no prior use of LUA or the Script function in general, and I can't find anything around that can help.

You can use this script but instead of getting the position of the camera you can get the players position.
while wait() do
for q = 1, #Zones do
local cameraX = cam.CFrame.X
local cameraY = cam.CFrame.Y
local cameraZ = cam.CFrame.Z
local Hitparts = Zones[q].Hitbox:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #Hitparts do
local PartPos = Hitparts[i].Position
local PartSizeX = Hitparts[i].Size.X
local PartSizeY = Hitparts[i].Size.Y
local PartSizeZ = Hitparts[i].Size.Z
local RootPartX = char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.X
local RootPartY = char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Y
local RootPartZ = char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Z
if cameraX > PartPos.X-PartSizeX/2 and cameraX < PartPos.X+PartSizeX/2 and cameraY > PartPos.Y-PartSizeY/2 and cameraY < PartPos.Y+PartSizeY/2 and cameraZ > PartPos.Z-PartSizeZ/2 and cameraZ < PartPos.Z+PartSizeZ/2 then
if not inside then
inside = true
outside = false
end
else
if not outside then
outside = true
inside = false
end
end
end
end
end

You will never have a prior use of LUA, but you can have a prior use of Lua.
