Billboard while player is near do

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi, i wanted to make a while loop with this condition:
while (player remains in “MaxDistance” of the BillboardGUI) do
This Cause i have a lot of the same Instance and the performance will drop
Thanks

You can probably do this:

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera -- Players Camera
local Distance = (Camera.CFrame.Position - UI.Adorrne.Position).Magnitude -- Length
-- Distance by Camera for the BillboardGui

if Distance <= UI.MaxDistance then -- if statement
    -- code
end

if Adorrne is nil, try doing UI.Parent

However, I may be unaware of an Event that does this, so ill look into it to see if there is.

My Script:

local HealthFrame = script.Parent
local HeathValue = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Health
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera -- Players Camera
local Distance = (Camera.CFrame.Position - HealthFrame.Parent.Adorrne.Position).Magnitude -- Length

-- SETTINGS
local MaxValue = 50 -- Max healt Value Value
local MaxSize = 200 -- Max Frame Size
-- SETTINGS

while Distance <= HealthFrame.Parent.MaxDistance do
	wait(2)
	print("helo")
end

Locations:
Loca

Not printing any, not even saying Adorrne is nil

LocalScripts cannot run inside the workspace, if you want that to happen, try using a Server Script, and change its RunContext Property to Client.

Also, Its best that you Update the Length so its the recent one, to determine if they had stayed within that distance.

wait() is deprecated, use task.wait()

I Placed a ServerScript and changed RunContext to Client cause i need it to run in the client, now Gives me this error:
Adorrne is not a valid member of BillboardGui "Workspace.Terrain.0,-96.Coal.Stone.BGUI.Health"
if i use UI.Parent it refers to a Part

#6

Thats because I misspelled it, its Adornee, not Adorrne

#7 
local HealthFrame = script.Parent
local HeathValue = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Health
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera -- Players Camera
local Distance = (Camera.CFrame.Position - HealthFrame.Parent.Adornee.Position).Magnitude -- Length

-- SETTINGS
local MaxValue = 50 -- Max healt Value Value
local MaxSize = 200 -- Max Frame Size
-- SETTINGS

while Distance <= HealthFrame.Parent.MaxDistance do
	task.wait()
	print("helo")
end

Error at line 4 attempt to index nil with 'Position'

#8

then its because Adornee is nil, so try doing, HealthFrame.Parent.Parent

#9

HealthFrame is the Frame, child of the BillboardGUI, if i write HealthFrame.Parent.Parent i refer to a part.

Adornee is not a valid member of Part "Workspace.Terrain.0,-96.Coal.Stone.BGUI
(“BGUI” is the Part)

#10

Bruh, HealthFrame.Parent.Parent.Position

#11

Now it’s not giving errors but not printing any :cry:
