Zone+ V2

[1ForeverHD]

Improvements

• move to new standalone repository with installer methods like topbar+ (plugin, rojo, etc)
• remove all require() dependencies
• consider removing additonalHeight param as this causes confusion
• replace irrelevant : within non object methods to .
• improve tutorials to make people aware of using Zone.new() (in addition to createZone)
• add Destroy upper case alias
• consider making work with non-players

Bugs

• have the raycast fire from the hrp centre (instead of feet) for improved accuracy on upwards slanting shapes dipping into the ground
  

• explore rotated wedge bug. this may be solved by the points above
  

• random generation appears to fail below other parts

• cluster infinite recursion https://devforum.roblox.com/t/zone-errors/864654/5

Main

• have a Zone module then a ZoneController as a child
• for zone, support both players and parts
• have methods like :getPlayers, :getLocalPlayer, :getParts, :checkPlayerInZone, :checkLocalPlayerInZone, :checkPartInZone
• have events which automatically initiate a loop when connected to - .playerEntered, playerExited, partEntered, partExited, localPlayerEntered, localPlayerExited
• for players, dynamically change between region3 + raycasting and solely raycasting depending upon factors such as total volume across all zones, number of players in server, localPlayer loop, etc
• for parts, call region3 like normal then raycast, however if a part is anchored (or not) consider caching results based on enum.accuracy
• handle logic, decision making and even raycasting within the controller
• when raycasting, perform a centre check initially, then if this fails use angle math to get the face nearest to the closest zone centre, and perform an additional tiny raycast in that direction
• introduce enum.Accuracy with items such as 'Precise', 'High', 'Medium', 'Low' and a zone.accuracy property
• once again have :update and. updated for calculating the zones min and max bounds and region, but completely scrap the 'cluster system'
• introduce :getRandomPoint again but this time do purely a while loop with completely random casting
• for ZoneController, remove create/remove methods entirely and just have ZoneController.getZones()
• parent utility modules like Signal and Maid under the Zone module
