Hello! I came here to figure out how I can calculate studs. I am fairly new to this type of stuff, and this will be beneficial for up to now. If possible, I would want milistuds so I can easily create a ranking system.

Please guide me into creating a studs from a certain part!

Thanks, Bill

You could either use Player:DistanceFromCharacter() or .Magnitude

User a local script

local part = --your part here
local distanceInStuds = "Character not yet loaded"
if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character then
    distanceInStuds = (game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - part.Position).Magnitude
end
print(distanceInStuds)

Ok. What would be the most efficient way of getting the new value every time the player moves?

(They are driving btw)

You could have a loop that checks
(humanoidrootpart.position-part.position).Magnitude

Put this in a local script:

local part = --your part here
local distanceInStuds = "Character not yet loaded"
local waitTime = 0.5 -- set this to the delay time between each time you check the distance
while task.wait(waitTime) do
    if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character then
        distanceInStuds = (game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - part.Position).Magnitude
    end
    print(distanceInStuds)
end

Hi! I am trying to do this on the server lol. Also, this script would be incompatible with my game.

Why do you want to do it from the server? Why do you need it in the game?
