v4.0.0: modernized API

[Froredion]

Added

• Zone.fromBox(cframe, size) - Creates optimized box-shaped zones using GetPartBoundsInBox
• Zone.fromSphere(position, radius) - Creates optimized spherical zones using GetPartBoundsInRadius
• Zone:setZoneShape(enumIdOrName) - Allows manual control over spatial query method
• ZoneShape enum with options: Auto, Box, Sphere
• Modern OverlapParams management with automatic reuse for better performance
• Comprehensive documentation on spatial query API usage

Changed

• BREAKING: Replaced deprecated Region3 with modern CFrame + Size approach
  • zone.region is now split into zone.regionCFrame and zone.regionSize
  • zone.exactRegion is now zone.exactRegionCFrame and zone.exactRegionSize
• Updated all FilterType.Whitelist/Blacklist to modern FilterType.Include/Exclude
• Optimized OverlapParams reuse throughout the codebase
• Enhanced spatial query method selection based on zone geometry
• Improved README with modern API comparison and performance tips

PS: I have an automated formatter, so it unnecessarily realigned many of the source files.

Many thanks for the Pull Request @Froredion, it looks like a collection of fantastic improvements, and I'm excited to fully dive in and review once a few other projects are wrapped up in 2026

so i tested it in live game but..

its using .fromBox with medium accuracy. im also added table.clear(self) and setmetatable(self, nil) when calling .destroy on zone.

[Froredion]

When you destroy a zone with table.clear(self) and setmetatable(self, nil), the zone object's properties (like zone.regionCFrame, zone.regionSize) become nil. However, the ZoneController's heartbeat connections might still be running and trying to access these properties before the zone is fully deregistered.

Is this what you mean? If so, I can see why it's happening.

yeah seems its fixed and i dont think you have to do this:

local occupantsDict = zonesAndOccupants[zone] or {}
local occupantsPresent = false
for k, v in pairs(occupantsDict) do
    occupantsPresent = true
    break
end

it should be:

local occupantsDict = zonesAndOccupants[zone] or {}
local occupantsPresent = next(occupantsDict) ~= nil

also, i dont think if you still have to use pairs(tbl) in 2025.

[Froredion]

Got it, will do the edit soon.

This seems fully Ai written, assuming it’s entirely ai since its from superbullet

I've added the following:

• added a tester for zone destroying
• improved code maintainability (your comments)
• added selene.toml for people who wants to contribute and has selene installed

I can say that all are now properly tested.
