I made 6 parts and I want to show a Gui (TweenPos) when the player is on the part and the gui has to disparears when the player isn’t on the part or if the player claim the area.
It is in a local script ( Detect if the player is on the part (magnitude to check if the player isn’t anymore on the part) and then put the output script to :FireServer(). )
Wich path should I follow to do that?
And how can I detect if the player is in one of all my parts?
If you have any questions, ask them !
You can use Basepart:GetTouchingParts() to get the parts the player is in. This is an example in a local script, normally you would want it in a server script.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local triggerParts = game.Workspace.Triggers:GetChildren() -- change to whatever you feel like
local function processTouchingParts(touchingParts)
for _, part in pairs(touchingParts) do
for _, trigger in pairs(triggerParts) do
if part == trigger then
print("Trigger ".. trigger.Name .." fired!")
end
end
end
end
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
character.PrimaryPart.Touched:Connect(function()
local touchingParts = character.PrimaryPart:GetTouchingParts()
processTouchingParts(touchingParts)
end)
character.PrimaryPart.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
local touchingParts = character.PrimaryPart:GetTouchingParts()
processTouchingParts(touchingParts)
end)
end)
Okay, all of this is new for me.
So if I put this script into a serv script I have to fire the client and then show the Gui and if the plr press “E” it will fire the server again and it will claim the area for the plr (in a serv script) that’s it?
You can do all the userinput and Gui things in a localscript if it isn’t a monetary good exchange. For things such as buying from a shop just use a local script until it comes time to use a datastore or do changes for other clients.
You could do a simple Position check; First of all, you want to get the area.
This can be done like so
local p = part
local pSize = p.Size
local y_top = 50 --can be naything
local y_bottom = -50 -- can be anything
local cfTop = p.CFrame * CFrame.new(p.Size.X / 2, y_top, p.Size.Z / 2)
local cfBottom = p.CFrame * CFrame.new(-p.Size.X / 2, y_Bottom, -p.Size.Z / 2)
Then from here, you will want to go through each player every second and make sure that CFrame is within these extents
Okay,
but I noticed some things on step 1 and step 4:
Step1 : I want to show a Gui (“Press E to Claim”) in the plr’s screen when he’s on a part and then if the plr’s press E it will trigger step 3 so i think I have to change step 1 with step 2.
Step 4: I don’t want to check anything because the plr has to claim the area when he joins the game, like in bee swarm.
So I did the detect E pressed, so now I have to check the distance from the parts and the plr. I will try using the script you gave me (in a local script)
This is my input script and this is your script :
The input works but when I fuse them it doesn’t do anything.
This is the fused script :
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProccesedEvent)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local triggerParts = game.Workspace.TouchPartToClaim:GetChildren() -- change to whatever you feel like
local function processTouchingParts(touchingParts)
for _, part in pairs(touchingParts) do
for _, trigger in pairs(triggerParts) do
if part == trigger then
print("Trigger ".. trigger.Name .." fired!")
end
end
end
end
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
character.PrimaryPart.Touched:Connect(function()
local touchingParts = character.PrimaryPart:GetTouchingParts()
processTouchingParts(touchingParts)
end)
character.PrimaryPart.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
local touchingParts = character.PrimaryPart:GetTouchingParts()
processTouchingParts(touchingParts)
end)
end)
end
end)
I’m trying to seperate the UserInputScript to your script:
this is the local script :
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProccesedEvent)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.TryingToClaimArea:FireServer()
end
end)
this is the server script :
game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.TryingToClaimArea.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
local triggerParts = game.Workspace.TouchPartToClaim:GetChildren() -- change to whatever you feel like
local function processTouchingParts(touchingParts)
for _, part in pairs(touchingParts) do
for _, trigger in pairs(triggerParts) do
if part == trigger then
print("Trigger ".. trigger.Name .." fired!")
end
end
end
end
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
character.PrimaryPart.Touched:Connect(function()
local touchingParts = character.PrimaryPart:GetTouchingParts()
processTouchingParts(touchingParts)
end)
character.PrimaryPart.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
local touchingParts = character.PrimaryPart:GetTouchingParts()
processTouchingParts(touchingParts)
end)
end)
end)
alright replace the segment of code in the server script with this:
local function processTouchingParts(touchingParts)
for _, part in pairs(touchingParts) do
for _, trigger in pairs(triggerParts) do
if part == trigger then
return true, trigger
end
end
end
end
game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.TryingToClaimArea.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
local triggerParts = game.Workspace.TouchPartToClaim:GetChildren() -- change to whatever you feel like, if this is a part remove the :GetChildren(), if it has lots of parts, keep :GetChildren()
local touchingParts = character.PrimaryPart:GetTouchingParts()
local inTrigger, triggerName = processTouchingParts(touchingParts)
if inTrigger == true then
print("Trigger", triggerName, "has been fired")
end
end)
and for local triggerParts = change to whatever you feel like, if this is a part remove the :GetChildren(), if it has lots of parts, keep :GetChildren()
A major issue I have spotted; Make sure the Server check for the area
Exploiters can fire a remote event and claim areas even though they are not within them
Oh and I forgot, add an empty touched event for the primarypart of the character and disconnect it after the script checks the primary parts. So put this before
local connection
connection = character.PrimaryPart.Touched:Connect(function() end)
And after
connection:Disconnect()
The line in question is the one declaring touchingParts
Ok I’ll try that, thx you for your support, I will give you a feedback later. @AbstractCo I don’t care about exploits cause this functin is just here to claim an area when the player joins the game. Like the claim hive in bee swarm simulator.
(I think it’s not a problem if an exploiter claim an area without being on the part xD
