What are you trying to get the magnitude of?

i am trying to get magnitude of the ball to the player so i can prevent firetouchinterest exploits

#4 
local Ball = --pathtoyourball
local player = --define your player from remote event or whatever your using to keep record of your players

local distance = player:DistanceFromCharacter(Ball.Position)

EDIT: this takes distance between the ball and the players head’s position and not humanoidrootpart position

#5

how can i calculate the distance between ball and player when ball is touched by player

#6

You can use .Touched events for that

local Ball = script.Parent --or the path to your ball

Ball.Touched:Connect(function(hitpart)
   local model = hitpart:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
   local humRp = model:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

   if model and humRp and game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(model) then
      local distance = (humRp.Position - Ball.Position).Magnitude
   end
end)
#7

…

If the PLAYER and the BALL are TOUCHING, then their distance is 0…

#8

no like it will prevent the player from touching the ball from far away with firetouchinterest

#9

it gives index nil with findfirstchild as error

#10

Try moving the humRp variable inside the if statement

#12

ty for your help but one more question how can i make the player stop touching the ball when magnitude is more than magnitude that i calculated like if magnitude is = 4 when i touched when i touch from far away magnitude is = 5 how can i make it stop touching (sorry for bad english and explanation)

#13

Updated the script a little

local ball = script.Parent

ball.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local model = hit:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
	local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(model)
	
	if model and player then
		local humRp = model.PrimaryPart
		local distance = (humRp.Position - ball.Position).Magnitude
		print(distance)
	end
end)
#14

ty i already did that i just have to figure out how to stop player from touching the ball

local Ball = script.Parent --or the path to your ball

Ball.Touched:Connect(function(hitpart)
	local model = hitpart:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")

	if model and game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(model) then
		local humRp = model:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		local distance = (humRp.Position - Ball.Position).Magnitude
		if distance > 5 then
	    -- need help here
		end
	end
end)

Log the player or their userid into a table and if the player touches the ball again and the player or player’s userid is present in the table then ignore

#16

i dont want to make player get ignored by the ball i just need to know how to make player stop touching the ball

#17

You could teleport the player a few studs away from the ball, other than that there really isn’t another way to force the player to stop touching it other than ignoring the player

#18

i see thank you for respond ig
