QUICK QUESTION: How do you tell when something is inside of a player's view?
I want to be able to tell if a certain object is in the view of a player's screen. Obviously I could use Mouse.Target, but that would only work if the player looks directly at the object. I have absolutely no background knowledge on how to do this. I'm not sure if this is complicated as writing 4 different math equations, or if it's as easy as typing 3 lines, but it would help if someone pointed me in the right direction.

"WorldToScreenPoint: Takes a 3D world point and returns information regarding its 2D screen location, its depth, and whether it is visible on the screen or not.". Thanks for the suggestion. steven73598233 75 — 5y

You can use Camera:WorldToScreenPoint() to see if a point is in front of your camera. Given that, we can then use Camera:GetPartsObscuringTarget() to see if any objects obscure the point.
local screenPos, inFront = camera:WorldToScreenPoint(part.Position)
-- Check screen bounds
if inFront and screenPos.X >= 0 and screenPos.Y >= 0 and screen.Pos.X <= mouse.ViewSizeX and screen.Pos.Y <= mouse.ViewSizeX then
local obstacles = camera:GetPartsObscuringTarget({part.Position}, {})
if obstacles == {} then
print("Success!")
else
print("Object blocked")
end
end
