Same result :sweat_smile:
I really don’t understand why the billboard adornee is still in the middle of the baseplate

Edit: no errors appeared

Hm. So I assume the text isn’t changing either?

#25

No, nothing it’s just being visible with adornee = nil and text = " " but its visible when you get close to the seat

#26

Oh I understand the problem MAYBE. Let me try to get a fix.

Ok let me explain my fix.
What we were doing previously was making multiple loops for every single seat. Every single seat so it will detect that some seats won’t be in distance, thus changing it to nil while it tries to change it to the seat.
So I fixed that using Heartbeat - it will check for the closest seat every frame in one thread, rather than multi-threading.

Read upon it and make sure you understand it though. Don’t wanna be throwing you fixes and you not learning from it.

local State,PreviousState = 0,0
local LockedOn = nil;

local Callbacks = {
	[1] = function() -- State 1
		Button.Button.Text = "F - Sit"
		Button.Adornee = LockedOn
	end;
	[2] = function()
		Button.Button.Text = ""
		Button.Adornee = nil
	end;
}

local function GetSeat()
	local Seat,Mag = nil,math.huge -- Variables
	for i,seat in pairs(workspace.SeatFolder:GetChildren())do

		local SeatDistance = (player.Character.PrimaryPart.Position - seat.Position).Magnitude -- hold distance

		if SeatDistance <= distance and SeatDistance < Mag then -- checks if it's within distance and closer than the current seat
			Seat = seat
			Mag = SeatDistance
		end
	end
	return Seat;
end

game:GetService('RunService').Heartbeat:Connect(function() -- Every frame.
	LockedOn = GetSeat()
	local WaitTime = 0
	if (LockedOn) then
		State = 1
	else
		State = 2
		WaitTime = .5
	end

	local TweenToPlay = State == 1 and tween or State == 2 and tween2
	local Function = Callbacks[State];
	if (PreviousState ~= State and TweenToPlay) then
		spawn(function()
			TweenToPlay:Play()
			wait(WaitTime)
			Function()
		end)
	end

	PreviousState = State
end)

Hello, It’s been sometime I was using the same script for a simulator I am working on solo and I tried my best but couldn’t figure it how to fix this small issue, and so I decided to contact you once again since you helped me originally.

The issue is that when I was close to an object (in this case Eggs) and get close to an other the E button stay on the first Egg instead of going to the closest Egg the player is close too as demonstrated in this GIF.

Any sort of help would be great :grin:
