Speed zone problem

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

you could simply check if there is any zones in the array returned by getpartinparts, if yes, set speed to 30, if no, set to 15.

Thats just a more complicated and laggier version of what I said ;-;

#22

I guess you’d have to use the zone:findPlayer(player) function in ZonePlus on any overlapping zones and checking if it’s true or not. As for how you’d check for overlapping zones, uh kinda no idea. Good luck though.

#23

Maybe try using GetTouchingParts on the player HumanoidRootPart instead

#24

huh, im not sure how that one helps, can you explain a bit more?

#25

i suppose, trying something like that rn

#26

This would work ^, try looking into it

#27

Firstly, lemme make sure I understand your goal correctly.

When a player is in any (or multiple) speed zone(s), they should have 30 speed, and if not, they should have 15, correct?

If so, all you have to do is check if they are currently overlapping with any speed zone (via get part in parts), then, using an if statement, set their speed to either 15 or 30

as an alternate solution, you can also treat all speed parts as one by grouping them together to be a singular model, that might work too (idk if zoneplus functions like that but it seems like it does)

#28

it does but i gotta move the part a lot

so if there’s overlapping i set it to 30?? do i do it when playerenter or when player exit?

#29

I don’t believe that matters

I think you’re a bit stuck in the idea of “overlapping or not” . Instead, think of all of the zones as a singular, irregularly shaped zone. Now, all you have to do is check if you are in the zone or not to determine if the speed should be 30. To do this, simply check if you are touching ANY of the zones, if yes, your speed is 30, if no, its 15. This check should be done during both exiting and entering the zones.

(I just realized my previous reponse might have been worded in a slightly confusing way lol)

I do believe getpartsinpart might not be the most efficient, so another way would, yet again, be to use a variable to store how many zones you are currently in, and upon entry/exit of a zone, check if it changes between 0 and other numbers to determine wether to set the speed to 30 or 15

#30

well instead of moving the model i will have to change every script that moves the model to somehow get it’s hitbox and move it, is there like any alternatives to groups/models, like tagging instances?

#31

Due to the way zoneplus functions, I don’t think that’d work

I don’t see why you can’t just move the models, shouldn’t zoneplus automatically update the location? (I haven’t used it in 3 years, so im unsure)

#32

yeah it does, but the hitbox is parented to the model, which moves with the model, when the model moves, the hitbox moves and so does the zone, i would need to parent all the hitboxes in a folder

#33

oh, I see what you mean.

then this might not be the best solution, you could also do the other way I mentioned

#34

can’t believe how complicated the problem actually is, ill try it out i guess :pensive:

#35

I found a solution to your problem!
Maybe try this code:

local Players 	= game:GetService("Players")
local zones 	= {workspace.zone1,workspace.zone2}

local function zoneCheck(character)
	local humanoid 			= character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	local humanoidRootPart 	= character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	local touchingParts 	= 	workspace:GetPartsInPart(humanoidRootPart)
	
	for i,part in pairs(touchingParts) do
		if table.find(zones,part) then
			humanoid.WalkSpeed = 30
			return
		else
			humanoid.WalkSpeed = 15
		end
	end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		while wait(0.2) do
			zoneCheck(character)
		end
	end)
end)

I just threw it together idk if its flawless or anything.
Script is in ServerScriptService btw!

#36 
local Zone = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Zone)
local zones = (find a way to put all the zones in an array)
local players = (table of players with their player object as the key and the value being 0)
for _, v in zones do
	tempZone = Zone.new(v)
	tempZone.playerEntered:Connect(function(plr)
		players[plr] += 1
		if players[plr] > 0 then
			plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 30
		end
	end)
	tempZone.playerExited:Connect(function(plr)
		players[plr] -= 1
		if players[plr] == 0 then
			plr.Character.Humanoid.Walkspeed = 15
		end
	end)
end

this might not function completely correctly since i typed it in forums not studios

#37

alright so it worked (i think)


local Zone = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Zone)
local zone = Zone.new(script.Parent)
zone.playerEntered:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.Zones.Value += 1
	plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 30
end)
zone.playerExited:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.Zones.Value -= 1
	if plr.Zones.Value == 0 then
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 15
	else
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 30
	end
end)

im just about sick of this problem, lmk if my logic is wrong or there might be something i didn’t account for. sorry @Nico_Nic77 I’m sure yours would work, but this is a solution i am willing to accept

why no “solution” for me :frowning: /j

I don’t believe theres a need for the else statement in the exited, but yea
also I would suggest keeping it all in 1 script since having many serverscripts would be confusing (though this is your choice)
