How to detect if Client is in radius of one part in descendants instead of all parts in descendants?

GeoSailor · August 13, 2022, 9:41pm

I want to detect if the Client (LocalPlayer) is in radius of one part in a folder with GetDescendants instead of all parts in the folder/parts with property I’m looking for. (Using to detect if player is in radius of a machine in round for my game)

(Picture above shows what happens when player is radius of only 1 part)

LocalScript in StarterGui:

wait(6) -- Wait For PlayerGui to be loaded

local ws = game:GetService("Workspace")
local plrs = game:GetService("Players")
local uiService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local rService = game:GetService("RunService")
local rStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local hb = rService.Heartbeat
local plr = plrs.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character
local hrp

local mp = plr.PlayerGui.MachineProgress
local mw = plr.PlayerGui.MachineWarning
local machine_radius = 8
local machinesFolder
local machines
local progressText = plr.PlayerGui.MachineProgress.Frame.TextLabel

local mEvent = rStorage:WaitForChild("Machine",8)
local mUIEvent = rStorage:WaitForChild("ChangeMachineUI",8)

local pressedE = false

while wait() do
	if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Machines", true) then
		mp = plr.PlayerGui.MachineProgress
		mw = plr.PlayerGui.MachineWarning
		machine_radius = 8
		machinesFolder = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Machines", true)
		machines = machinesFolder:GetDescendants()


		uiService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
			if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
				pressedE = true
			end
		end)


		local function onRecieveMachineData(progress)
			progressText.Text = ""..progress.."%"
			progressText.Parent.ProgressBar:TweenSize(
				progressText.Parent.ProgressBar.Size + UDim2.new(0.01,0,0,0),
				Enum.EasingDirection.In,
				Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
				0.99,
				true
			)
		end

		mUIEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(onRecieveMachineData)

		task.spawn(function()
			while wait(.5) do
				for index, machine in pairs(machines) do
					if machine.Name == "Radio" then
						if char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
							hrp = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
							if (hrp.Position-machine.Position).magnitude < machine_radius then
								print("in radius")
								mp.Enabled = false
								mw.Enabled = true
								if pressedE then
									mEvent:FireServer(true,machine,plr.Character)
									print("firing to server to start working on machine")
									mp.Enabled = true
									mw.Enabled = false
								end
							else
								pressedE = false
								mw.Enabled = false
								mp.Enabled = false
								mEvent:FireServer(false,machine,plr.Character)
								print("client not in radius")
							end
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end)
	end
end

function inRadius(part , radius , character)
	local distance = (character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - part.Position).Magnitude
	local isInRadius = distance <= radius and true or false
	print(isInRadius)
	return isInRadius
end

How do I use what it returns (I’m not too good with functions)

Forummer · August 13, 2022, 10:39pm

It returns a Boolean value, true if the player’s character is in range and false if otherwise.

GeoSailor · August 13, 2022, 10:43pm

How do I use it in an if statement??

end

Same problem happens detects it is in radius of one machine but also says its not in radius

Try this

                            local isInRadius = inRadius(machine, machine_radius, char)
							if isInRadius == true then
								print("in radius")
								mp.Enabled = false
								mw.Enabled = true
								if pressedE then
									mEvent:FireServer(true,machine,plr.Character)
									print("firing to server to start working on machine")
									mp.Enabled = true
									mw.Enabled = false
								end
							else
								pressedE = false
								mw.Enabled = false
								mp.Enabled = false
								mEvent:FireServer(false,machine,plr.Character)
								print("client not in radius")
							end

Tried this (still doesnt work):

wait(6)

local ws = game:GetService("Workspace")
local plrs = game:GetService("Players")
local uiService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local rService = game:GetService("RunService")
local rStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local hb = rService.Heartbeat
local plr = plrs.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character
local hrp

local mp = plr.PlayerGui.MachineProgress
local mw = plr.PlayerGui.MachineWarning
local machine_radius = 8
local machinesFolder
local machines
local progressText = plr.PlayerGui.MachineProgress.Frame.TextLabel
local inRadiusBool = false

local mEvent = rStorage:WaitForChild("Machine",8)
local mUIEvent = rStorage:WaitForChild("ChangeMachineUI",8)

local pressedE = false

while wait() do
	if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Machines", true) then
		mp = plr.PlayerGui.MachineProgress
		mw = plr.PlayerGui.MachineWarning
		machine_radius = 8
		machinesFolder = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Machines", true)
		machines = machinesFolder:GetDescendants()


		uiService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
			if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
				pressedE = true
			end
		end)


		local function onRecieveMachineData(progress)
			progressText.Text = ""..progress.."%"
			progressText.Parent.ProgressBar:TweenSize(
				progressText.Parent.ProgressBar.Size + UDim2.new(0.01,0,0,0),
				Enum.EasingDirection.In,
				Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
				0.99,
				true
			)
		end

		mUIEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(onRecieveMachineData)
		
		function inRadius(part , radius , character)
			local distance = (character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - part.Position).Magnitude
			local isInRadius = distance <= radius and true or false
			print(tostring(isInRadius).." from function")
			inRadiusBool = isInRadius
		end

		task.spawn(function()
			while wait(.5) do
				for index, machine in pairs(machines) do
					if machine.Name == "Radio" then
						if char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
							hrp = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
							inRadius(machine, machine_radius, char)
							print(tostring(inRadiusBool).." not from funciton")
							if inRadiusBool == true then
								print("in radius")
								mp.Enabled = false

	end
end

(console when player is actually in radius)

PROBLEM: game detects in radius and not in radius at same time when there are multiple parts to check (if there is one it works)

(what console looks like when there is only one part)

GeoSailor · August 13, 2022, 11:24pm

Just did (check my latest post)

msix29 · August 14, 2022, 6:38am

local IsInRadius = inRadius() --returns true if he is in the radius and false if not.

GeoSailor · August 14, 2022, 11:00am

That yields the same result (doesn’t solve the problem)

I figured it out now
