So i'm making a wave defense game based on piggy characters and the round mechanic works perfectly but i'm trying a safe zone for the lobby so when the players are in the lobby the rounds won't start until they get out. I made a part that is around the entire lobby and named it SafePart but i'm new to studio so idk how to script it so the guis and the spawners won't work until the player is out of the SafePart. (The model for the wave defense is My Wave Defense Kit(pls don't steal) by jaydonashford and it was made in the 18/12/2024 at 11pm. thx for helping it will help me to learn scripting a lot and save me a lot of time 😄

When touched you enable the safezone effect and TouchEnded you disable it

#

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
end)

#

TouchEnded fires when the players stand still tho

#

I think

hard elbow When touched you enable the safezone effect and TouchEnded you disable it

But how do i make like the safe zone effect

#

Like if the player is in the safe zone i disable the round script ?

I made this:

#

Might not be an efficient way to do a safe zone, but it works

mighty hawk Like if the player is in the safe zone i disable the round script ?

You just check if he's in the safe zone in the round script

#

Like if you want to prevent someone from damaging another in Safe Zone, you can check if the player is in/out of a Safe Zone before applying the damage.

#

Script I made quickly in ServerScriptService:

local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local SafeZoneList = CollectionService:GetTagged("SafeZone")
local SafeZoneData = {}

for _, ZonePart: Part in SafeZoneList do
    SafeZoneData[ZonePart] = {Players = {}, Loops = {}}
    
    ZonePart.Touched:Connect(function(TouchedPart)
        local Character = TouchedPart:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
        local Player = Character and Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)
        
        if Player ~= nil and not SafeZoneData[ZonePart].Players[Player.UserId] then
            Player:AddTag("InSafeZone")
            
            SafeZoneData[ZonePart].Players[Player.UserId] = true
            SafeZoneData[ZonePart].Loops[Player.UserId] = RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
                local HitList = workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(ZonePart.CFrame, ZonePart.Size)
                
                if Character and not table.find(HitList, Character.PrimaryPart) then
                    SafeZoneData[ZonePart].Players[Player.UserId] = nil
                    Player:RemoveTag("InSafeZone")
                    SafeZoneData[ZonePart].Loops[Player.UserId]:Disconnect()
                end
            end)
        end
    end)
end

#

You'll have to set-up a BasePart with a tag named "SafeZone"

#

hard elbow SetProperty for the player for that no need fot exsessive tables n other

Wdym by SetProperty?

#

I need to use a table to store the RBXScriptConnection

hard elbow Jul 3, 2025, 7:54 AM

#

Player:SetProperty("InSafeZone", true/false)

#

Player:GetProperty()

ornate hazel Jul 3, 2025, 7:54 AM

#

This function doesn't exists?

#

I know about :SetAttribute and :AddTag

#

But not :SetProperty

hard elbow Jul 3, 2025, 7:55 AM

#

Oh wait

#

Attribute

#

Yea

ornate hazel Jul 3, 2025, 7:55 AM

#

That doesn't change anything, using Tag is same

hard elbow Jul 3, 2025, 7:55 AM

#

ornate hazel Jul 3, 2025, 8:08 AM

#

hard elbow Did touchEnded not work?

hard elbow Jul 3, 2025, 8:08 AM

#

Idk the docs said whenever the colision stops with the part it fires

#

Since roblox has a check for that

#

I'd test it if i was at my computer rn but cant

mighty hawk Jul 3, 2025, 8:22 AM

#

ornate hazel You'll have to set-up a BasePart with a tag named "SafeZone"

mighty hawk Jul 3, 2025, 8:22 AM

#

ornate hazel You just check if he's in the safe zone in the round script

local InSafezone = false

safezone.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if not InSafezone then
        InSafezone = true
        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        print("In safezone!")
    end
end)

safezone.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
    if InSafezone then
        InSafezone = false
        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        print("Out of safezone!")
    end
end)```

    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if player and not player:HasTag("InSafeZone") then
        player:AddTag("InSafeZone")
        print("In safezone!")
    end
end)

safezone.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)

#

Wow TouchEnded actually works, I always thought it wasn't working

mighty hawk Jul 3, 2025, 8:43 AM

#

Wdym

#

What works with TouchEnded?

ornate hazel Jul 3, 2025, 8:44 AM

#

Games that uses Touched seemed to not working properly like the lava in BloxFruits

#

But ig they just don't use TouchEnded

mighty hawk Jul 3, 2025, 8:44 AM

#

Oh ok

ornate hazel Jul 3, 2025, 8:45 AM

#

Also if you want the SafeZone to work even in wierd positions like this...

mighty hawk Jul 3, 2025, 8:45 AM

#

Yeah?

ornate hazel Jul 3, 2025, 8:45 AM

#

...you'll need to check if the "hit" part is the HumanoidRootPart

mighty hawk Jul 3, 2025, 8:45 AM

turbid hemlock Jul 3, 2025, 8:52 AM

#

dude it works with any pos

works with any part and is accurate instead of using just the humanoid root part

#


safezone.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if player and not player:HasTag("InSafeZone") then
        player:AddTag("InSafeZone")
        print("In safezone!")
    end
end)

safezone.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if player and player:HasTag("InSafeZone") then
        player:RemoveTag("InSafeZone")
        print("Out of safezone!")
    end
end)```

ornate hazel Jul 3, 2025, 8:54 AM

#

If you have something like a breathing animation, since the parts are all effecting the Tag, if a limb goes outside of the zone, the Tag will be removed even that the player is still in.

turbid hemlock Jul 3, 2025, 8:55 AM

#

oh wait yeah i just did some spinning around it bugs out

#

but yeah use the humanoidrootpart
