Hello fellow developers, so my recent posts have been regarding me trying to create an attack that teleport you to the nearest player, I’ve finally found a way to find out the closest magnitude from the player but my problem is finding who the closest magnitude belongs to. So I’ve find out how to get the closest magnitude but I don’t know how to find out who it is for.

Heres my script:

script.Parent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	local char = plr.Character
	local hum = char.Humanoid
	local list = {}
	local root = char.HumanoidRootPart
	for i,v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
		if v:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") and v ~= char then
			local dis = (root.Position - v.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
			if dis <60 then
				table.insert(list,dis)
				table.sort(list,function(a,b)
					return a < b
				end)
			end	
		end
	end
	print(list[1])
end)

Any help is appreciated, thank you and have a great day!

instead of a table of characters within 60, just remember the nearest as you are looping

local nearestChar = nil
local nearestDis = nil

for i, v in pairs(characters) do
    local dis = (root.Position - v.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
    
    if dis < nearestDis then
        nearestChar = char --the character or player you are getting the distance to
        nearestDis = dis
    end
end
