I’m trying to recreate a sonar effect from Splinter Cell Conviction, where any person inside the radius of the sphere would get highlighted. However the .touched event doesn’t seem to fire while it’s size is being changed. Is there another way to go about this?
Once you expand the sphere use Sphere:GetPartsInPart() to get an array of parts that are inside the sphere. Then loop through the array to see if the part is a character. We are also gonna need a table to store recorded characters since many parts of the character could be inside. Then you could highlight them however you would
local CIS = {}
local sphere = script.Parent
local TS = game.TweenService
local t = TS:Create(sphere, TweenInfo.new(2), {Size = Vector3.new(20,20,20)})
t:Play()
wait(2)
for i, part in ipairs(sphere:GetPartsInPart()) do
if not part.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then continue end
if table.find(CIS,part.Parent) then continue end
table.insert(CIS,part.Parent)
end)
for _,char in ipairs(CIS) do
HighlightChar() -- Highlighting function if you have one
end
maybe try regoin3 or zone+ or have an invisible block that will fire the event instead

Unfortunately I need to it scan as it’s being sized up.
I forgot entirely about this module, thanks for bringing this up. It’s been fixed!

Understood. Then try this snippet of code instead
local H = {}
local tweenCompleted = false
-- Assuming tween is a TweenInstance
tween.Completed:Connect(function()
tweenCompleted = true
end)
repeat
for i, part in ipairs(sphere:GetPartsInPart()) do
if not part.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then continue end
if table.find(H, part.Parent) then continue end
HighlightChar(part.Parent)
table.insert(H, part.Parent)
task.wait(.1)
end
-- Wait for the tween to complete
task.wait(0.1)
until tweenCompleted
