Detect when inside a part (Zone)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello!

I am trying to make a zone where when an NPC named “Ghost” walks into a part that is non-colidable, the NPC will turn invisible by this code:

	if hit.Parent.Name == "Ghost" then
		hit.Parent.Agro.Value = true
		for i,v in pairs(hit.Parent:GetDescendants()) do -- loop through everything in the character
			if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("Decal") then -- if it is a part
				v.Transparency = 1 -- make it invisible
			end
		end
	end

What’s the issue?
The problem is that the code I used which was when touched and when touched ended, the script would constantly make the NPC invisible and then visible.

Is there a way to detect when an NPC is inside of part without using when touched and when touched ended?

This simply isn’t true!
You are making the Objects Visible, not Invisible, Transparency has to be set from 0 - 1 for it to be Solid (0), Transparent (Anything between) or Completely Transparent (1)

  • You are able to Use a Region3 to detect if something is Inside something

  • You can also use :GetTouchingParts() to look for Parts that are touching

Ya, I pasted the wrong code. I have one set that makes it visible and then invisible. Thats not the issue thought. I don’t know how to detect an NPC colliding with a part.

You can use workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox()

or GetPartsInPart
