How to check what players are in a specific area?

Making a minigame game. The players walk into the room to be in the game, how do I check what players are in that 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
