You can look it up, but basically magnitude is a way to determine distance.

You can use Magnitude like this:

Local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
if (Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - ShopPart.Position).Magnitude <= 4 then
--Open
else
--Close
end
end)

I agree with this, TouchEnded legit never works the way you want it. Another option is Region3 (sorry if spellt wrong) but Magnitude is more simple enough for starters.

How would i get the character? without Touched/TouchEnded

#8

It can be a local script and you can use

local Player = game.Players.LocalScript

I use to get the Character like this:

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer or game.Players.PlayerAdded:Wait()
local Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

Just don’t make it close automatically. Use an exit button (A big X).
