How to know if player is in shadows and damage him if he inst?

[Fenix7667]

What I want to do is know if player is in shadows because Im making a race for my game that player cant go outside a cave or something and if he go outside he will burn because of sun. And to he dont get burned he would need be in a shadow.

Example: A vampire thing.

The best bet is checking if the player is in between the sun and the player.

Read here for more info:

Touching areas that would be in contact with the sun's light

The main idea is that, as you could somewhat infer from the topic’s title, if a player makes contact with an area that is under direct contact with the sun’s light on, a script would run. E.g. if the player is in a building and leaves it, going out into an area where the sun would be able to “shine” on them, i.e. no shadows, then the appropriate script would run. However, I can’t seem to think of a legitimate way to do this - I’ve thought of making it so there’s a model/folder that holds parts …

For your particular use case though, you could probably just make an invisible touch box where if they’re outside the cave they can be burnt. That’d be far simpler.
