Hi, I want to find out how I can find the nearest said part the local player is sitting at. For example, if I have part1 to 16, I need to find the part closest to the player, like part 4 being the closest. How would I achieve this? Thanks.
i think I made it confusing sorry
I’m pretending there’s a folder in workspace containing all the parts.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer --Or if this is a server script, however you would get the player.
local Folder-Containing-Parts = game.Workspace.Folder
local Parts = Folder-Containing-Parts:GetChildren()
for _, p in pairs(Parts) do
if distance ~= nil and player:DistanceFromCharacter(p) > distance then
distance = player:DistanceFromCharacter(p)
ClosestPart = p
end
If distance == nil then
distance = player:DistanceFromCharacter(p)
end
end
print(ClosestPart.Name)
Idk if it will work, and if it does it’s probably not the best way, but hope this helps!
You can use player:DistanceFromCharacter() which returns how many studs away is the vector3 from the player.
put the parts in a folder and try something like this:
local NearestPart = nil
local Lenght = nil
local Folder = workspace.Folder
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
wait(10)
for i,v in pairs(Folder:GetChildren()) do
local LenghtX = Player:DistanceFromCharacter(v.Position)
if Lenght == nil or LenghtX < Lenght then
Lenght = LenghtX
NearestPart = v
end
end
print(NearestPart.name)
This script prints the name of the closest part after 10 seconds.
The NearestPart will be the nearest part to the player inside of the folder.
Lol, your script is almost a replica of mine
we started making it at the same time 
Ik, you were making your post before I started mine, I just noticed we basically told him the same stuff
