How to determine a Vector3 Position inside of a Circular Field?

I’ve been messing around lately, and decided to try and figure out how to determine the Vector3 location of an object, inside of a circle. The Circumference is based of the the FOV/2, you could say this is somewhat like a detection field, I’ve tried a lot of methods, but they just don’t work, could someone help me write an algorithm?

Thank you!

I'm confused. Are you asking how to determine if the object is in the circle radius, or are you asking how to get the vector3? greenhamster1 180 — 5y

Here's a solution:

local sphere = workspace.sphere
local part2 = workspace.part2

while true do
    wait()
    if (sphere.Position - part2.Position).magnitude < sphere.Size.X / 2 then
        --do whatever you want
    end
end

It might be a bit less efficient than other methods.

Hope this helps!

Where did you find this? I also wanted a circle not a sphere Ziffixture 6913 — 5y
