How do I accurately check if a player is in a certain area?

You said using the I don’t need to use the physics engine, that can be innacurate or ineffective or whatever. What would be a better solution in my case: Using the touch and gettouchedparts events or using the stepped event to loop the position check?

#23

That would be fixed with a simple debounce.

Debounce not worked, trust me. Now i would use the Zone+ Module mady by @ForeverHD, its really easy and helpfull.

Do you know how I could go about regions based on position?

#26

Hey thanks for your reply, does this also work with unions?

#27

Yeah, it should work with unions (and any other part that can be collidable).

This code here will detect when a player is inside a part, and when the player leaves the part.

The code will be repeated but I suggest you modify what I made using debounce

Edit: I added in debounce for simplicity; it was a lot trickier to code than I thought.

-- local script

local Part = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Vent1").Detect -- The part you want to detect
local tbl = {}  
local debounce = false
local debounce2 = false

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function(loop) -- Heartbeat loop
	task.wait() 

	if #tbl == 0 then -- if there isnt anything in table
		if not debounce2 then
			debounce2 = true
			print("Player Outside Part") -- run code

			debounce = false
		end
	end
	
	if #tbl ~= 0 then -- if there is a part in table
		if not debounce then
			debounce = true
			task.wait()
			print("Player Inside Part") -- run code
			debounce2 = false
		end
		
		table.remove(tbl, 1) -- removes the part from table
	end
	Part.Touched:Connect(function() end) -- creates a touch interest 
	local prt = Part:GetTouchingParts()[1] -- gets the touching parts of the specified part
	table.insert(tbl, prt) -- inserts the part into table
end)
