Regions

Dry regions: tag a BasePart or Model OceanDry and there is no water inside its box. The surface sinks under it, the underwater tint stays off for a camera inside, characters do not swim there and water events treat it as air. Submarine interiors, underwater rooms, diving bells.

A float inside a dry region gets no lift unless the region belongs to it (same model or welded assembly), so a submarine's hull floats while cargo inside it does not.

Types​

Box​

</>
interface Box {
CFrame: CFrame
Half: Vector3--

half size

X: number
Z: number
Reach: number--

bounding radius in XZ

Bottom: number--

world Y

Top: number--

world Y

Instance: Instance--

the tagged part or model

Model: Model?--

the model it belongs to, if any

Owner: BasePart?--

the assembly it is welded into, if any

}

Functions​

Refresh​

</>
Regions.Refresh() → ()

Re-reads every OceanDry instance. Runs twice a second on its own.

List​

</>
Regions.List() → {Box}

Every dry box.

Near​

</>
Regions.Near(
x: number,
z: number,
radius: number
) → {Box}

Dry boxes whose footprint touches the circle (x, z, radius).

IsDry​

</>
Regions.IsDry(point: Vector3) → boolean

True inside any dry box. Ocean:IsDry calls this.

IsDryFor​

</>
Regions.IsDryFor(
point: Vector3,
instance: Instance
) → boolean

Like Regions.IsDry, but a box that belongs to instance (its own model or welded assembly) does not count.

CoversXZ​

</>
Regions.CoversXZ(
box: Box,
x: number,
z: number,
margin: number?
) → boolean

True when (x, z) is within the box's footprint, grown by margin studs.

PushOut​

</>
Regions.PushOut(
box: Box,
x: number,
z: number
) → (
number,--

x

number,--

z

boolean--

was inside

)

The nearest point on the box's footprint edge to (x, z), and whether the point was inside.
