How to detect when a player leaves a region?
I know how to check if a player enters a region but can't figure out when they leave it.
01 | local Players = {} -- players in region gets stored into this table |
02 | local AreaPart = workspace.Area |
03 |
04 | function createRegion3FromPart(part) |
05 | local Size = part.Size |
06 | local Position = part.Position |
07 | return Region3.new(Position-(Size/2), Position+(Size/2)) |
08 | end |
09 |
10 | function getPlayersInPart(part) |
11 | if part and part:IsA("BasePart") then |
12 | local newRegion = createRegion3FromPart(part) |
13 | local partsInRegion = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(newRegion, nil, math.huge) |
14 | for i, v in pairs(partsInRegion) do |
15 | if game.Players:FindFirstChild(v.Parent.Name) then |

Why are you checking in line 11 is part is a BasePart? That's unnecessary as that is always true. User#19524 175 — 6y

What if I accidentally use a different instance thats not a BasePart? awesomeipod 607 — 6y

I have created a second table which gets reset every time. This was we can check if all players that where in the area a couple of minutes ago, still are here.
01 | function getPlayersInPart(part) |
02 | if part and part:IsA("BasePart") then |
03 | local newRegion = createRegion3FromPart(part) |
04 | local partsInRegion = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(newRegion, nil, math.huge) |
05 | local tempList = {} --this list resets each time |
06 | for i, v in pairs(partsInRegion) do |
07 | if game.Players:FindFirstChild(v.Parent.Name) then |
08 | local player = game.Players[v.Parent.Name] |
09 | table.insert(tempList, player) |
10 | if not Players[player] then |
11 | table.insert(Players, player) |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | for k,v in pairs(tempList) do --loop over every player found in this single check |
