My game involves an element that needs to call a function when the player sees a part. Is there any way to do this nicely, or do i need to make a physical part representing the player's FOV?
An ideal solution:
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:OnSight(game.Workspace.ScaryPart):Connect(function()
CustomKillFunction()
end)
Please excuse me if this is a stupid question, im new to Roblox development.
Do you mean when they touch are part if so Then you will need to set up a script like this for now I wouldn't recommend using it only if your advanced.
Let's set up the script:
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit) -- detects weather a player has touched a part
if hit and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
then hit.Parent = 0 -- takes damage from the player and sets the health to 0
I mean like, is there a way to trigger a function when a player SEES a part, NOT touches it. My Physical part idea would involve using touch.
For example, Stop It Slender 2, when you look at the person playing as slender, you get a distortion effect.
It all has to do with camera manipulation.
This was one of my first answers, so obviously I wasn't that good at scripting in general then.
Looking back at my few first answers, WOW, I've really improved on my answers.
Might add more comments in the future.

That code wouldn't even run the first line since character isn't defined. Unless, you put this in StarterCharacterScripts
CustomKillFunction is not defined in this script so another error will occur, along with :OnSight
