(issue)owner of the build zone they are in is not getting the tools to build with when they should(issue)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. i’m trying to make it to where whenever the player touches the script.parent brick then give them owner to the area/zone to build on and to give them tools to build with basically. but making the zone/area to build on be the script.Parent

  2. the issue is the owner is not receiving their tools when they should.

  3. i tried many options and ways changing how it detects owner and other things, i just can’t do anything at this point

i know the code is a bit messy and i know i added kick lol you can change that to better if you want to i don’t mind i just need help with the main issue, this is just a foundation to work with edit basically later on

local ZONE_NAME = "RestrictedZone" -- the name of the zone that the tools are restricted to
local MESSAGE = "This tool can only be used in the restricted zone."
local tools = game.ReplicatedStorage.tools:GetChildren() -- the tools to give to the owner of the part
local BUILD_DISTANCE = 10 -- Keep track of which players have touched the part
local touchedPlayer = nil

-- Function to check if a player owns the part they touched
local function playerOwnsPart(player, part)
	return part:IsDescendantOf(player.Character) or part.Parent == player.Character
end

-- Function to give tools to the owner of the part
local function giveTools(player)
	if not player.Character:FindFirstChild(tools[1].Name) then
		for _, tool in ipairs(tools) do
			tool:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
		end
	end
end

-- Function to check if a player is within the build distance of the part they touched
local function positionWithinBuildDistance(player, part)
	local character = player.Character
	if not character then
		return false
	end
	local humanoidRootPart = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	if not humanoidRootPart then
		return false
	end
	local distance = (humanoidRootPart.Position - part.Position).Magnitude
	local partRegion = Region3.new(part.Position - part.Size / 2, part.Position + part.Size / 2)
	local buildDistance = partRegion.Size.magnitude / 2 + BUILD_DISTANCE
	return distance <= buildDistance
end

-- Function to remove tools from the player's backpack and unequipped tool
local function removeTools(player)
	-- Remove equipped tool
	local equippedTool = player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool")
	if equippedTool and equippedTool:IsDescendantOf(game.ReplicatedStorage.tools) then
		equippedTool.Parent = nil
		return
	end

	-- Remove all tools from backpack
	for _, tool in ipairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
		if tool:IsA("Tool") and tool:IsDescendantOf(game.ReplicatedStorage.tools) then
			tool.Parent = nil
		end
	end

	-- Remove HopperBins
	for _, hopperBin in ipairs(player.Character:GetChildren()) do
		if hopperBin:IsA("HopperBin") and hopperBin:IsDescendantOf(game.ReplicatedStorage.tools) then
			hopperBin:Destroy()
		end
	end
end

-- Function to check if a player is in the restricted zone and remove their tools if they're not the owner
local function checkPlayer(player)
	local character = player.Character
	if not character then
		return
	end
	local part = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(ZONE_NAME)
	if not part then
		return
	end
	if playerOwnsPart(player, part) then
		if not touchedPlayer or touchedPlayer == player then
			touchedPlayer = player
			giveTools(player)
		end
	else
		if positionWithinBuildDistance(player, part) then
			if touchedPlayer and touchedPlayer == player then
				touchedPlayer = nil
				removeTools(player)
			end
		else
			if player.Character:FindFirstChild(tools[1].Name) then
				player:Kick(MESSAGE)
				removeTools(player) -- remove tools if kicked
			end
		end
	end
end


-- Check all players every frame
game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	for _, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		checkPlayer(player)
	end
end)

i’m not asking for a rewrite or anything, i just need help lol
