Distance to the part

#22

Because the zombie left the part so the Touched event will stop working

#23

Yes, i understand this, but how i can track this?

#24

What is the base part in your example? My rectangle?

#25

How i know raycast goes to the middle, but not to the closest point?

#26

(dont mind the poorly formatted code this is just a demo)

local HitPart = workspace.HitPart
local Char = script.Parent

local Hum, Root = Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid"), Char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

task.spawn(function()
	while true and task.wait(1/33) do
		local Params = RaycastParams.new()
		Params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
		Params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Char}
		
		local Cast = workspace:Raycast(Root.Position, Root.CFrame.LookVector*3, Params)
		
		if (Cast) and (Cast.Instance == HitPart) then 
			HitPart.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)
			Hum.WalkSpeed = 0
			print("Attacking")
		else 
			HitPart.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 0)
			Hum.WalkSpeed = 16
			Hum:MoveTo(HitPart.Position)
			print("Moving")
		end
	end
end)

I recommend using RunService.Heartbeat or smth related to RunService because when there is a lot of zombies (a lot of computing), game might lag and while loop will slow down I think

#28

Yup, and it’ll return the point that’s closest. Take the distance from the zombie to that point.

I tried it, and i think i have some troubles, check this video bc im bad with raycasts.
https://youtu.be/vf5lyqAb9P0 (its still loading, give it some time)

Here is your code (i just added print, maybe i copied wrong) :

local function test1()
local HitPart = workspace.Map.Truck.HealthGUI
local Char = script.Parent

local Hum, Root = Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid"), Char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

task.spawn(function()
	while true and task.wait(1/33) do
		local Params = RaycastParams.new()
		Params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
		Params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Char}

		local Cast = workspace:Raycast(Root.Position, Root.CFrame.LookVector*3, Params)
		
		print(Cast)
		
		if (Cast) and (Cast.Instance == HitPart) then 
			HitPart.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)
			Hum.WalkSpeed = 0
			print("Attacking")
		else 
			HitPart.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 0)
			Hum.WalkSpeed = 16
			Hum:MoveTo(HitPart.Position)
			print("Moving")
		end
	end
end)

end

And im calling it before my pathfinding code

#30

BasePart:GetClosestPointOnSurface is not enabled yet
I wrote something like this : workspace.Map.Truck.PrimaryPart:GetClosestPointOnSurface(script.Parent.PrimaryPart.Position)

#31

14:35:36.092 > print(workspace.SpawnLocation:GetClosestPointOnSurface(Vector3.new(10,0,0))) - Studio
14:35:36.094 6, 0, 0 - Edit

tried to add spawn, but still same error

#33

You misunderstand what I’m doing here. I’m printing the closest point of SpawnLocation’s surface, in relation to Vector3.new(10,0,0)

#34

Apologies for forgetting to reply, what do you want to track?

#35

Yes, i understand this, but i have error BasePart:GetClosestPointOnSurface is not enabled yet and i just cant do it

#36

I need to track when zombie next to the my rectangle. I think raycast really good solution, but i really bad understand how to use them, now im trying to understand

#37

What do you mean by track? Do you mean that you want to check if the zombie left the part?

#38

Yes, I want to check if zombie left the part and if zombie entered

#39

If the zombie is chasing the player, won’t that count as the zombie leaving the part?

#40

Yes, it will count as the zombie leaving the part, bc player can just run away

#41

Yea, you can do that to check when zombie leave the part
