Zone entry and exit not detected after death (Possible Zoneplus bug)

BandQueenForever · January 8, 2023, 12:12pm

What do you want to achieve? I want the zone entry and exit to even be detected after the player’s death so the CanPlace value would return either true or false.
What is the issue? Once I die, it doesn’t detect if I have entered the zone or left the zone and the CanPlace variable defaults to false.
What solutions have you tried so far? I tried using zone:untrackItem(), zone:destroy(), tried defining the character once the tool got activated. I’ve debugged the code and it’s definitely happening cause of the zone not detecting entry and exit anymore.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local Zoneplus = require(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Zone"))
local CanPlace = false

local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = LocalPlayer.Character or LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local PlacementOptions = LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlacementOptions")
local Material = PlacementOptions.Material
local Colour = PlacementOptions.Colour

local PlayerPlot = LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerPlot")

local GUI = LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Placement Options")

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local PreviewBrick

	return math.round(MousePos / grid_unit) * grid_unit

		repeat task.wait() until Brick and PlayerPlot.Value
		local ZoneCFrame = CFrame.new(PlayerPlot.Value:WaitForChild("Area").Position)
		local ZoneSize = PlayerPlot.Value:WaitForChild("Area").Size
		Zone = Zoneplus.fromRegion(ZoneCFrame, ZoneSize)

		Zone.itemEntered:Connect(function(item)
			if item == Brick then
				print("Entered.")
				CanPlace = true
			end
		end)

		Zone.itemExited:Connect(function(item)
			if item == Brick then
				print("Exited.")
				CanPlace = false
			end
		end)
		
		Zone:trackItem(Brick)
	end)
end

	PreviewBrick = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
	PreviewBrick.Size = Vector3.new(2, 2, 2)
	PreviewBrick.Name = "PreviewBrick"
	PreviewBrick.Anchored = true
	PreviewBrick.Transparency = .3
	PreviewBrick.CanQuery = false
	PreviewBrick.CanCollide = false
	PreviewBrick.CastShadow = false

	CreateZone(PreviewBrick)
	
	UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
		task.spawn(function()
			if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
				while UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.R) do
					print("aughhhhh")
					PreviewBrick.Orientation = PreviewBrick.Rotation + Vector3.new(0, 2, 0)
					task.wait(0.05)
				end
			end
		end)
	end)
	
	Movement = RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
		if Material.Value ~= "" then
			PreviewBrick.Material = Material.Value:reverse():split(".")[1]:reverse()
		end
		PreviewBrick.Color = Colour.Value
		
		local Mouse = LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
		local MousePosition = Mouse.Hit.Position + Vector3.fromNormalId(Mouse.TargetSurface) * PreviewBrick.Size / 2
		
		PreviewBrick.Position = Vector3.new(
			snap_to_grid(MousePosition.X, 1),
			snap_to_grid(MousePosition.Y, 1),
			snap_to_grid(MousePosition.Z, 1)
		)
		
		if Vector3.new(PreviewBrick.Position.X, PreviewBrick.Position.Y, PreviewBrick.Position.Z).Y < 1.5 then
			PreviewBrick.Position = Vector3.new(PreviewBrick.Position.X, 2, PreviewBrick.Position.Z)
		end
	end)
end

local function Unequip()
	script.Parent.Parent = LocalPlayer.Backpack
	GUI.Enabled = false
	if Movement then
		Movement:Disconnect()
		PreviewBrick:Destroy()
	end
end

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	local Character = LocalPlayer.Character or LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local HumanoidRootPart = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	print((PreviewBrick.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude)
	print(CanPlace)
	if (PreviewBrick.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude < 30 and CanPlace then
		script.Parent:WaitForChild("PlaceBrick"):FireServer(Material.Value, Colour.Value, PreviewBrick.Position, PreviewBrick.Orientation)
	end
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(Unequip)

If the player dies, can’t you just set CanPlace to false? Like, using Humanoid.Died:Connect()?

BandQueenForever · January 8, 2023, 12:27pm

Read what I posted, I don’t want that. I want the player to be able to place again after they respawn but they can’t.

BandQueenForever · January 8, 2023, 12:36pm

What the hell is this mate? lmao

Y_VRN · January 8, 2023, 12:43pm

I suppose you have to reset the Character variable, as it will still refer to the now-dead-and-removed model of the player before respawning.

LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Char)
	Character = Char
end)

BandQueenForever · January 8, 2023, 12:44pm

There’s nothing wrong with the character because I checked that as well. The problem is that Zoneplus doesn’t detect the entry and exit of the part after the player respawns.

Y_VRN · January 8, 2023, 1:02pm

There’s is nothing wrong, yes. But you can’t compare Character == LocalPlayer.Character after a respawn, for they don’t have the same models.

Try the code I sent in your LocalScript.

BandQueenForever · January 8, 2023, 1:22pm

Still didn’t work. The script is parented under a tool and you can clearly see it gets the player’s character once the player clicks on the tool. The problem is with Zoneplus, not the character.

BandQueenForever · January 9, 2023, 12:41pm

Figured I’d bump this post as I still need help with this. It’s a major issue.

BandQueenForever · February 3, 2023, 4:09pm

Bumping again, nobody has helped me with this for the past few weeks and whenever I try to repost, I get warned and the repost gets taken down. How am I supposed to get a solution if I can’t bump? Whatever, I’ll still bump, nobody’s stopping me.

SinClosed · April 2, 2023, 5:18pm

your not alone. i need help with this problem too. im working on a game that requires zones. bumping this topic. anyone?

BandQueenForever · April 3, 2023, 5:59am

I was able to fix this by approaching this alternatively. I used one of the two functions found in the API. findItem and findPart. Some issues still occur though, but it worked.

vitorhinode1234 · April 5, 2023, 12:49pm

How exactly? I need to fix this error ASAP and I can’t adapt this “fix” for my code…
