It actually uses the Head of the character I believe.
You would use RunServiceâs events to handle the loop of checking distance on client. Once itâs close enough, run a function within the loop after the client is close enough and debounce other inputs in the loop. Exiting the distance would do the opposite.
The function that is ran should handle the visuals, by turning on the BillboardGui(and eventual animations) before and after.
@WaterJamesPlough Seems about right, I just re-read it and it was the head. The camera seems to be mounted to the head anyways, would not use HumanoidRootPart if you want the experience as the best for the user.
i am confused anyway can you tell me wat were the problems in my script?
Try parent your textlabel to a billboard gui, it might work if you do that? c:
and how do i fix them becuase i am a new scripter
as i saw in the video there was no billboard gui
Youâll have to add in one then.
You are using a normal server script, correct? If thatâs so, you should split the script into a LocalScript and the normal script itself.
The LocalScript is responsible for:
- Visuals
- Distance check for visuals
The normal script:
- Verifying distance(sanity checks)
- Triggering dialogue for player
i am using local script not server script
You would use one of RunServiceâs functions or events:
Connect functions to events(or use the callback) to keep checking distance by using Player:DistanceFromCharacter(randomNPCPart).
The structure is unreadable in your script, so I have no clue unless you clean it a little.
i am using render stepped see the script

end)You mention there are errors but did not declare exactly what errors they are. Could you elaborate that?
i got many errors and i was confused but i do have a pic of one of them
It doesnât help if you donât provide any of the errors or thoroughly debug your code. Also, it would better if you narrowed your code down, so we can work with something rather then 200 lines.
Sort your code again, properly, that the scopes(indenting) align rather than spreading out. You may or may not have missed or accidentally overshot an extra end somewhere, depending on where the scope started.
