How can i create a region like this?

[ThoseNamesAreGood]

So I have a very large map and I’m trying to create a border for it. If the player leaves the border they are then met with a prompt which brings them back into the map.

My issue is that I’m using Region3 along with GetPartsInBoundBox to detect when a player enters and leaves inside/outside the borders.

Here is a rough demonstration of my code:

local pointA = workspace.Point1
local pointB = workspace.Point2

local region = Region3.new(pointA, pointB)

If I were to visualize this region by setting a part’s CFrame and Size to the regions CFrame and Size it looks inaccurate along with when I playtest it does not detect when a player enters/leaves the bounds.

Here is what I’m looking for:

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I explain this here

When player leaves the game while being in a zone detection

[73add98da926a5989f9e3957ba074983] local i = 0 local playerPositions = {} local getAllPositions = function() for i, player in game.Players:GetChildren() do if player.Character ~= nil and player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") ~= nil then playerPositions[player]=player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position end end print(playerPositions) end local zone = workspace.RedZone local function isPositionInsideZone(position, zoneMin, zoneMax) return position.x >= zoneMin.x and…

For those looking for the answer: Orientation is taken into account with Region3s!

This is not a good option in comparison to Region3 where instead of performing the calculations in Luau (slower) you can just run it by using WorldRoot:FindPartsInRegion3()

Edit: This also works better because you can define definite points a bit easier

e.g:

local Region = Region3.new(Point1.Position, Point2.Position)
local Parts = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(Region)

for _, Part in Parts do
   print(Part.Name)
end

I’ve tried the exact same Region3 creation code you provided before I created this topic however it did not work unfortunately. It seems its not filling in the space how I want it as seen in this picture:

Then, in that case I’d suggest you just check the 3D Position is within bounds like

local Bounds = { A = Point1.Position, B = Point2.Position }
local function WithinBounds(Position: Vector3)
    if (Position.X < math.max(Bounds.A.X, Bounds.B.X) and Position.X > math.min(Bounds.A.X, Bounds.B.X)) then
        if (Position.Z < math.max(Bounds.A.Z, Bounds.B.Z) and Position.Z > math.max(Bounds.A.Z, Bounds.B.Z)) then
            return true
        end
    end
    return false
end

--> Just use this as a test or delete it, just an example.
if (WithinBounds(Vector3.new(10, 2, 15))) then
    print("In bounds!")
end

Although I’m unaware why Region3 isn’t working for you. I’ll try to look into this.
Edit: Made it work without “Min” and “Max” values.

For the first parameter of WithinBounds, I’m guessing I input the Position of the player?

Aswell as, what do you reckon would be more performant, this or Region3? if Region3 then I’ll probably try and get that working instead of this.

Well, Region3 is naturally faster but if Region3 isn’t working well I’d suggest using Region3int16 because it’s easier to work with bounds and you can just convert it to Region3 to see the results. Keep in mind this does not have inbuilt things like WorldRoot:FindPartsInRegion3(), but it can be easier to work with if you’re using a point-defined Region3 system.

If you don’t want to be insanely specific you can also use distance magnitudes to check the distance from the centre point!

That was the first thing I tried but the parts are in a collision group so it will unfortunately not work.

I may just try to check if the 3D Position is in bounds like you said, When I print the region though it returns a Size of {-8771.099609375, -1983.1002197265625, 16374.7998046875}

It also returns a CFrame of {-1219.19971, 1045.90015, 6331.8999, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1}

For anyone who comes across this topic and is wondering how I solved it:

What I did not realise when creating the region is that it takes into account the Orientation of the parts, as soon as I flipped the orientation it began working.
