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
01 | local plrs = {} |
02 | function CreateRegion3FromPart(Part) |
03 | return Region3.new(Part.Position-(Part.Size/2), Part.Position + (Part.Size/2)) |
04 | end |
05 | function GetPlayersInRegion(Part) |
06 | local region = CreateRegion3FromPart(Part) |
07 | local plrfound = false |
08 | 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 |
09 |
10 | 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 |
11 | table.remove(plrs, i) |
12 | end |
13 | for i, part in pairs(InRegion) do -- part is like a leg or arm |
14 | local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) |
15 | if plr then |
