Fixing a issue with a system that detects when a player is in a space

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. I want to make a script that sends a event when a player speaks and is in the room

  2. What is the issue?

i got pictures

  1. What solutions have you tried so far?
more stuff yay!

I’ve tried using for i, v in pairs(blah:findtouchingparts()).

This is a “followup” to my last question that wasn’t actualy a issue lol

Full code 
local Part = script.Parent.TalkSense
Part.Touched:Connect(function() end) -- Just for a TouchInterest to occur on a CanCollide false part

function CheckIfPlayerIsInArea(Part,Character)
    local touching = Part:GetTouchingParts()
	for i=1,#touching do
		if touching[i] == Character.HumanoidRootPart then
			return true
		end
	end
	return false
end
script.coolok.Event:Connect(function(data)
	if data[1] == "Request" then
		local request = CheckIfPlayerIsInArea()
		if request == true then
		script.coolok:Fire({"Return",true})
		else
			script.coolok:Fire({"Return",false})
		end
	end
end)

Based on the error, script.Parent.TalkSense doesn’t exist. Try doing script.Parent:WaitForChild("TalkSense") instead.

#3

Same issue :thinking: I think it’s detecting other parts and not being able to find the humanoid root part.

This is the brick

#4

Are there any other scripts that are deleting the part as the code runs?

#5

There shouldn’t be any since it’s supposed to always be there.

#6

have you considered using FindPartsInRegion3?

No. As it’s designed to detect parts rather than anything like players. It would also make it a hassle to move this thing around.

#8

Is the part anchored? If it is and its still not working @johnnygadget’s reply might work.

#9

Yes, It is anchored. I really don’t know why it’s doing this.

#10

New issue, Fixed the first one by removing the function and enclosing it in the event.

#11

based on these two lines of code:

You are forgetting to pass the variable’s Part & Character, which is why it cannot index the HumanoidRootPart, it doesn’t have the character!

#12 
local Part = script.Parent:WaitForChild("TalkSense")
Part.Touched:Connect(function() end) -- Just for a TouchInterest to occur on a CanCollide false part
script.coolok.Event:Connect(function(data,Character)
	if data[1] == "Request" then
	local touching = Part:GetTouchingParts()
	for i=1,#touching do
		if touching[i] == Character.HumanoidRootPart then
			script.coolok:Fire({"Return",true})
		end
	end
    script.coolok:Fire({"Return",false})
	end
end)

code is slightly different now. don’t exactly know what i’d change to allow this lol

#13

i don’t think this line is correct either

#15

This callback is fine. All you are doing is creating an ‘anonymous’ function inside of the callback argument instead of declaring a function and then passing the reference.
