what i am trying to achieve is making a tool handle lit up when you are inside of a not-colliding part (zone) and stop it if you leave it.

local distance = (Character.PrimaryPart.Position - part.Position).Magnitude

if distance < part.Size.Magnitude then
–whatever you want to happen
end

this code detects when you get close to an object named “part”

just change variables and add RenderStepped if your code is on a local script or HeartBeat if it is on Server

fire this when the player activates the tool and check if distance is within the desired range

Use a touch interest type script that fires a remote event that signals a int value to enable, which if it’s enabled, print that they’re using a tool.

yup, you can check every time a frame renders if you’re close enough to your enemy to hit him

in this case you can get a table with all the enemies on a localscript.

Then check if your player is close to any of them using a for loop and if they are you can know exactly what enemy you’re close to and fire a RemoteEvent to damage him
