I’m trying to make it so that my npc attacks you when you get too close, when i try to do this it doesn’t work
heres the code

if GameUtility.CheckPointOnCircle(Position, HumanoidRootPart.Position >= 100) then
					BossInformation["State"] = MobStates[4]
	
				if HumanoidRootPart.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position <=10 and MobStates[4] then
					Module:Attack()```
#2

You have to use magnitude:

if (HumanoidRootPart.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude <=10 and MobStates[4] then

Magnitude defines the length of a vector, therefore the length of a vector minus a vector would be the distance.

Edit: Also, you’re doing subtraction on the same vector, I’m confused on why you’re doing this?

#3

Yeah that was an accident i just realized it

#4

Position returns a vector3, so I’m confused on why you’re comparing it to a number.

if GameUtility.CheckPointOnCircle(Position, HumanoidRootPart.Position >= 100) then
#5

Corrected everything, still nothing

			BossInformation["State"] = MobStates[4]
				if GameUtility.CheckPointOnCircle(Position, HumanoidRootPart.Position,100) then
					BossInformation["State"] = MobStates[4]
	
				if (HumanoidRootPart.Position - BossRootPart.Position).Magnitude  <=10 and MobStates[4] then
					self:Attack()
#6

Try to print out “MobStates[4]” or really just add print statements around this part of the code, and if they don’t print something’s wrong.

#7

I have, ill send you the full code

#8

What did MobStates[4] print out?

#9

#10

Print BossInformation[“State”] lmk what it prints out. Put the print statement AFTER where you set the State to MobStates[4].

#11

Doesn’t print

			print(MobStates[4])
			print(BossInformation[MobStates])
				if GameUtility.CheckPointOnCircle(Position, HumanoidRootPart.Position,100) then
					BossInformation["State"] = MobStates[4]
	
				if (HumanoidRootPart.Position - BossRootPart.Position).Magnitude  <=10 and MobStates[4] then
					self:Attack()
					```
#12

Try to put it after calling the CheckPointOnCircle function.

#13

Still nothing, i think theres aproblem a few lines before so ill be using prints

#14

There’s a problem with the State change, review your CheckPointOnCircle function. If you mind, could I look at the CheckPointOnCircle function?

#17 
function Module.CheckPointOnCircle(CenterPosition, CheckingPosition, Radius)
	local CheckPositionX = math.abs((CheckingPosition.X - CenterPosition.X))
	local CheckPositionZ = math.abs((CheckingPosition.Z - CenterPosition.Z))
	
	if (CheckPositionX + CheckPositionZ <= Radius) or (CheckPositionX^2) + (CheckPositionZ^2) <= (Radius^2)  then
		return true
	else
		return false
	end
end
#18

Print the function, does it print “true”?

#19

It doesn’t print anything ((((((((((((((((

#20

Print the function itself, when the Checking Position has the conditions for it to be true. At the start of the code.
