My location popup script doesn't work?
So I made a script that's supposed to tell the player in which they neighborhood they are after they exit the current one (basically like the city names that appear in gta games) but it doesn't work:
game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local hum = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local pos = hum.Position
local gui = player.PlayerGui.mainGUI
function isInRegion3(region, point)
local relative = (point - region.CFrame.p) / region.Size
return -0.5 <= relative.X and relative.X <= 0.5
and -0.5 <= relative.Y and relative.Y <= 0.5
and -0.5 <= relative.Z and relative.Z <= 0.5
end
local nbh = {}
nbh.city=
{
name = "city",
coords = Region3.new(Vector3.new(-821,0,644), Vector3.new(101,1300,1546))
}
local loc = "a"
local temploc = "a"
while true do
wait(3)
for _, v in pairs(nbh) do
if isInRegion3(v.coords, pos) then
loc = v.name
else
loc = "notcity"
end
end
if loc ~= temploc then
~~make popup appear~~
temploc = loc
end
end
Despite the player being in the area of "city", the popup appears as "notcity", so I think the problem is in the part that detects whether or not the player is in the region.
Help?

On line 5 you have local pos = hum.Position this will hold the HumanoidRootPart current position which is used on line 28 but never updated to hold the current player position.
You need to access the position each time you are checking the players location.
while true do
wait(3)
local plrPos = hum.Position -- get the player position each time
for _, v in pairs(nbh) do
if isInRegion3(v.coords, plrPos) then --
loc = v.name
else
loc = "notcity"
end
end
if loc ~= temploc then
~~make popup appear~~
temploc = loc
end
end
This should fix your position issue but you might be better off just checking the x,y,z of the Vector3.
Hope this helps.
