How can I check if a player is in a region3? (very new to scripting)

My game is a game about sword fighting. One person steps on one pad, another steps on another pad. This game is a bit like custom duels.

I want to make it so when a person steps on the pad, the pad turns green and if they leave the pad, it turns to grey. The next thing I am going to say is optional, if you are going to help me, you can include it but you dont have to. I also want it so that if two players are on one pad, the person that first went on the pad gets priority.

Script I made currently

local A = workspace.A
local b = workspace.B
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local playertable = players:GetPlayers()
local region = Region3.new(A.Position, b.Position)

while wait() do
	-- idk what to put here
end

Thank you!

You’ll want to use GetPartBoundsInBox to get all parts inside the Region3 from which you can filter out HumanoidRootParts to get each player.

I HIGHLY recommend reading documentation for everything here so you fully understand how everything works, means and does.

Example:
Documentation: OverlapParams, GetPartBoundsInBox

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local PointA = workspace.A
local PointB = workspace.B
local Region = Region3.new(PointA.Position, PointB.Position)

local Params = OverlapParams.new() -- Create parameters
-- Parameters are optional so you only use them for specific cases,
-- These are here just to serve as an example
Params.MaxParts = 100
Params.CollisionGroup = "PlayerGroup"
Params.RespectCanCollide = true

local PartsInRegion = workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(
Region.CFrame, -- Set where the box is and it's orientation
Region.Size, -- Set size of the box
Params -- Set custom paramaters
)

-- Loop though all parts where you will check if a part is a descendant of a player's character
for Index, Part in PartsInRegion do
    print(Part.Name)
end
