Hey, just wondering: can I create mobile zones with this module? Like, let’s say I weld a part that acts as hitbox to a player and then create a zone by using that same part.
If the player starts walking, will the zone move too with the welded part?

I don’t want this, how do I make it so they can die and spawn in the same zone without it ever registering? A zone is a new area with an area name popup and other effects. If they die and then respawn in the same zone it shouldn’t be considered a new area and those effects shouldn’t be triggered.

I seemed to have fixed it with this. I’m a little confused why the second return works, but I’m not complaining.

Hi,

Does anyone know the script to see what zone or part the player is currently in?

Like I want to run a script that will tell me if the player is currently in PartA / ZoneA.

From what I have seen, most things are triggered events , enter , exit…

Thanks for any help!

#502

zone:findPlayer() is what you need.

#503

What is there are 2 zones they are in, meaning there is an overlapping zones and they could be in 2 at the same time? Does zone:findPlayer() return multiple zones?

#504

Anyone know how to already detect a player in a zone when they spawn in. Like a safe zone. The player spawns in the lobby and the safe zone is in the lobby but it doesn’t change their gui which I want it to.

How do I make a room darker
#505

Does not change what player gui? The ‘safe zone circle around you effect thinga ma thing’ ?

His demo game EDITable has I safe zone in it…

Your modules are such a simple idea but are always SO helpful! Thank you for this!

Hi i tried making a while loop when u enter the zone but i couldnt make it to stop with exit. do u have any idea how can i make that work? i tried number and bool values from character but they didnt work. and i tried things like while _G.active == true do but they didnt worked. And yes i did change the values before the loop and at the exit script. i also tried some stuff with Zone:FindPlayer but they also didnt worked.

#511

how can i make a loop work only if player is in the zone. as a server script.

#512

Run the loop when they enter the zone with a if true condition (if they are in the zone, do it)

#513

this is the script im using

zone.playerEntered:Connect(function(player)	
	print("player has entered the zone")
	local isWithinZoneBool = icebath:findPlayer(player)
	local health = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Humanoid
	local debounce = game.Workspace[player.Name].bt.icebath
	debounce = 0
	if debounce == 0 and isWithinZoneBool then repeat 
		health.Health -= 15
			debounce = 1
			wait(1) 
			debounce = 0
		until not isWithinZoneBool 
	end
end)

and its not ending the loop when player exits

#514

Hey there, the reason that’s happening is because zone:findPlayer() is always true since it’s only being checked once upon player entrance and not throughout the loop.

This works:

zone.playerEntered:Connect(function(player)
	print("player has entered the zone")
	local health = player.Character.Humanoid
	local debounce = true
	if debounce and icebath:findPlayer(player) then repeat 
			player.Character.Humanoid.Health -= 15
			debounce = false
			wait(1) 
			debounce = true
		until not icebath:findPlayer(player)  
	end
end)

I don’t know why you are checking a seperate zone named icebath though, do you have a zone within a zone? Also I’d advise against using repeat until.

icebath is name of the model which has the zone seperately and the parts in it separately.

#516

I was also wondering this, I do not think so but I hope there is a way.

#517

OH I actually ended up testing it for myself and yes it does! The zone can be moved at runtime.

#519

Hey, I have a zone made of an array consisting of baseparts. Problem is, I keep getting a exhausted execution time error when I try to get a random point.

Is this normal?

EDIT: My bad, I had a framework which destroyed the parts with no collisions on.

#520

Zone not working sometimes when I clone it from ServerStorage to workspace. It works 50/50 and sometimes not working for no reason. No errors in output. It create zone but playerEntered event not working.

#521

Not sure that’s how you’re supposed to be doing it, wait for it to be in workspace first and then zone it.
