How to check how far the player is

How can I check if a player’s HumanoidRootPart is less than 10 studs away than a certain part?

(assume I already have the HumanoidRootPart in a variable, and it’s a local script)

Any help is appreciated!

You should use magnitude of humanoid root part and the magnitude of the certain part. find the difference and check if its under your desired amount such as 30

How would I do that? I’ve never worked with magnitude.

DistanceFromCharacter

local Distance = player:DistanceFromCharacter(Object) -- whatever object

if Distance < 10 then -- if the Distance is less than 10
    print"Player is nearby"
end

I could give a example such as
if (BasePart.Position - BasePart.Position).Magnitude <= 10 then (i made a mistake but @DasKairo corrected me)

Its actually (BasePart.Position - BasePart.Position).Magnitude

oops, thanks for correcting me, i feel like your other post is more simple than magnitude

You can use the Magnitude feature, as people above have stated. This can be done with a player character’s HumanoidRootPart to another part by doing this:

local part = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Part") -- "Part" is the name of the part you want to find the distance of
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local hroot = plr.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
print((hroot.Position - part.Position).Magnitude) -- This should print the distance between the two parts
10

Roblox has a built in function known as DistanceFromCharacter which is basically the same thing

print((hroot.Position - part.Position).Magnitude)
print(plr:DistanceFromCharacter(part.Position))

That too, my apologies. I hadn’t noticed it.
