How to create a sort of arena only spot

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want the MyPart to be an area which gives the player a sword upon entering and takes it away when they leave. so that its a sort of pvp only spot.
this script doesnt do it, i added prints but the prints also dont show up.

-- Find the part that the player will enter
local part = game.Workspace.MyPart

-- Create a sword object
local sword = game.ServerStorage.MySword:Clone()
print("Created sword: " .. sword)

-- Create a function to give the player the sword when they enter the part
function giveSword(object)
	print("giveSword called with object: " .. object)
	-- Make sure the object is a player
	if object:IsA("Player") then
		-- Make sure the player doesn't already have the sword
		if not object.Backpack:FindFirstChild(sword.Name) then
			-- Give the player the sword
			sword.Parent = object.Backpack
			print("Gave sword to player: " .. object)
		end
	end
end

-- Create a function to take the sword away from the player when they leave the part
function takeSword(player)
	print("takeSword called with player: " .. player)
	-- Find the sword in the player's backpack
	local playerSword = player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(sword.Name)
	-- If the player has the sword, remove it from their backpack
	if playerSword then
		playerSword.Parent = nil
		print("Took sword from player: " .. player)
	end
end

-- Connect the giveSword and takeSword functions to the part's "Touched" event
part.Touched:Connect(giveSword)
part.TouchEnded:Connect(takeSword)

I think the problem is in the player detection, you probably should use this instead:

game.Workspace.Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if hum then
		print("Player detected!")
	end
end)

like this?

-- Find the part that the player will enter
local part = game.Workspace.MyPart

-- Create a sword object
local sword = game.ServerStorage.MySword:Clone()
print("Created sword: " .. sword)

-- Create a function to give the player the sword when they enter the part
function giveSword(hit)
	print("giveSword called with hit: " .. hit)
	-- Find the player that touched the part
	local player = hit.Parent
	-- Make sure the player is a Humanoid
	local humanoid = player:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if humanoid then
		-- Make sure the player doesn't already have the sword
		if not player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(sword.Name) then
			-- Give the player the sword
			sword.Parent = player.Backpack
			print("Gave sword to player: " .. player)
		end
	end
end

-- Create a function to take the sword away from the player when they leave the part
function takeSword(hit)
	print("takeSword called with hit: " .. hit)
	-- Find the player that stopped touching the part
	local player = hit.Parent
	-- Find the sword in the player's backpack
	local playerSword = player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(sword.Name)
	-- If the player has the sword, remove it from their backpack
	if playerSword then
		playerSword.Parent = nil
		print("Took sword from player: " .. player)
	end
end

-- Connect the giveSword and takeSword functions to the part's "Touched" and "TouchEnded" events
part.Touched:Connect(giveSword)
part.TouchEnded:Connect(takeSword)

Here, the player variable refers to his character model, if you want the player’s backpack, you must get his player object with: game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter()
But other than that, it should work.

i changed it but it still wouldnt work

#6

try using local functions maybe?

#7

The problem may also be that you are using touch events, they are quite buggy. I have never used them but Region3 might be better.

#8

I don’t think that’s the problem since this works:

function touched ()
	print("touched")
end

game.Workspace.Part.Touched:Connect(touched)
