How do I make an oxygen system for my game?

Hello, Dev’s!

I’m making a game that takes place on the moon, and I’m doing a good amount of progress on it.
recently, a friend of mine made me a GUI script, which is an oxygen bar GUI that drops whenever the player touches the “sand” terrain (the material that I use to build the terrain in my game), this was meant to be a way for the player to lose oxygen whenever it goes outside the moon surface, but I realize that it’s a bad idea since players can jump over the sand before they lose oxygen (aka cheat the system).

I thought of making the script function only when a player is touching a part called “NoOxygen” for example, but since I’m more of a builder than a scripter, I couldn’t find a way to make it work when touching a part, my scripting skills are limited and my friend can not help me since he’s busy making his game and etc.

I hope to see your solution, Thank You :+1:

You should look into this module, and the rest should be easy.

Make a huge invisible part that is Sand, that will act like a zone of no oxygen

You could use Humanoid.FloorMaterial in order to detect what material a player is standing on.

For example:

if Character.Humanoid.FloorMaterial == Enum.Material.Sand then

That wouldn’t fix his problem, since his script already functions like that

The script only functions when the player touches the terrain, and of course, there isn’t a “CanCollide” or a transparency option for terrain, at least not yet.

Here is an open-sourced YouTube video’s Model. This might help you out getting started.

In that case, he can use Raycasting to detect the material that is below the player.

Ray1 = Ray.new(character.HumanoidRootPart.Position, Vector3.new(0,-5,0))

Part = workspace:FindPartOnRay(Ray1)

if Part ~= nil then
    if Part.Material == Enum.Material.Sand then
  
    end
end

i’ve watched the video, and it only seems like the same script as mine, except the player only loses oxygen when touching terrain water

This might help tho, im not sure, but i’ll try it

I’ve inserted the script, and it doesnt seem to work, there is an error in the outpot:

here’s your script:

You did not change “Character” to the actually reference of the character. Make sure that Character actually equals the player character on line 125. For instance, game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.

from my understanding, I’ve added, Player.Character because of the reference as you said.

No error messages, but there is no print in the output, hopefully, I’m not doing something wrong.

Where are you implementing this code?

the message has been printed, but it only works with sand terrain, do you have any idea how to make the message print with a normal sand Part/Brick?

Of course! I thought you wanted it to be specifically for sand. Just remove the if statement.

local Ray1 = Ray.new(Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart. Position, Vector3.new(0,-100,0))

local Part, Position, Normal, Material = workspace:FindPartOnRay(Ray1)
if Material ~= Enum.Material.Water and Material ~= Enum.Material.Air then
print("THERE IS A FOUNCTION!")

it seems to be working, but the message keeps printing non-stop before even touching the part, and I’m guessing that’s because of the “air” material, in any case, I think I can fix it by changing the material and etc, thx for your time, I think I can handle it from here. :+1:
