I am currently trying to make an event that occurs when a player looks at a brick, I've tried a lot of things, but none was successful, anyone?

Do you want to detect if the part is visible on the camera? Or if the player's character is generally looking at the part? For the first you can use WorldToScreenPoint(), and for the latter you could probably use dot product. SummerEquinox 643 — 6y

One "hacky" of doing this is using the Camera:WorldToScreenPoint method.


local m = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

m.Button1Down:Connect(function() 
    local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
    local worldPoint = workspace.Baseplate.Position
    local vector, onScreen = camera:WorldToScreenPoint(worldPoint)

    print(onScreen) -- true if it's on the screen
    print(vector)
end)
