How to check what players are in a specific area?

Hi there!

ProgrammerColton here.

There is various ways that you can accomplish this which can be found in the following statements:

1) Magnitude - Using magnitude, you can check if the player is within the range of a certain block.

2) .Touched - Using a touched event, you can check if the player currently touching a brick that is within a certain sector (or area). Such as, if the players walk into a room, add an invisible block in the door frame and when they touch it, add them to a list of current players that are willing to play the minigame.

3) Raycast - Using a raycast, you could shoot a raycast upwards and detect if the player walks under a certain block thats above the specific area that you are talking about.

make a part in your building the size of the inside but make sure the part is a square then make its transparency 1 then add this script in the workspace or server script service

local plrs = {}
function CreateRegion3FromPart(Part)
    return Region3.new(Part.Position-(Part.Size/2),  Part.Position + (Part.Size/2))
end
function GetPlayersInRegion(Part)
    local region =  CreateRegion3FromPart(Part)
    local plrfound = false
    local InRegion = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(region,nil,math.huge)--math.Huge is the player limit for example if i want a max 5 people change math.huge to 5

    for i,v in pairs(plrs) do -- clearing all the players in the table so if a player leaves the area the script dosent run for them
        table.remove(plrs, i)
    end
    for i, part in pairs(InRegion) do -- part is like a leg or arm
        local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
        if plr then
            for i,v in pairs(plrs) do
                if plrs[i] == plr.Name then
                    plrfound = true
                end
            end
            if plrfound == false then
                table.insert(plrs, plr.Name)
            end
            plrfound = false-- resetting value for next player
        end
    end
end
while true do
    wait() 
    GetPlayersInRegion(workspace.Example) --change workspace.Example to your part
    for i,v in pairs(plrs) do
        wait()-- nessary or theres alot of lag
        if plrs then
        print(plrs[i]) -- do what ever you want like kill them or just print their name
        end
    end
end
