How would I make this work with multiple buttons?

Hi, I have tried a few things but im blanking right now, how would I get this to work with CollectionService in a way that it would work with every button that has been tagged?

Right now it is only working with just one.

-- Checking distance to determine if open or close
local function checkDistance(button)
    print(button)
    while task.wait(0.5) do
        local withinDistance = player:DistanceFromCharacter(button.Main.CFrame.p) <= 15

        if withinDistance then
            if not button.Main:FindFirstChild("ButtonInfoUI") then
                openButtonUI(button, buttonUI)
            end
            
        elseif button.Main:FindFirstChild("ButtonInfoUI") then
            closeButtonUI(button, buttonUI)
        end
    end
end


-- Loop through buttons
for _, button in pairs(collectionService:GetTagged("Buttons")) do
    checkDistance(button)
end

Thanks in advance.

The reason this is happening is because the function is in an infinite loop, which is pausing the iteration of the buttons when the function gets called. Put the while loop in the checkDistance() function inside a task.spawn(). Or, while iterating through the tagged buttons, put the calling of the function checkDistance() inside a task.spawn()

Examples:

local function checkDistance(button)
    print(button)
    task.spawn(function()
      while task.wait(0.5) do
            local withinDistance = player:DistanceFromCharacter(button.Main.CFrame.p) <= 15
    
            if withinDistance then
                if not button.Main:FindFirstChild("ButtonInfoUI") then
                    openButtonUI(button, buttonUI)
                end
                
            elseif button.Main:FindFirstChild("ButtonInfoUI") then
                closeButtonUI(button, buttonUI)
            end
        end
    end)
end

for _, button in ipairs(CollectionService:GetTagged("Button")) do
    task.spawn(checkDistance)
end
