Why this not work ?

please help me .

These is indeed a better way to calculate where a person’s character is.

Juts use ProximityPrompt:PromptShown.

Indeed, I can.

You can check when the Prompt is shown, and set the prompt show distance to 5.

for example code:

script.Parent.PromptShown:Connect(function()
       -- do what u want when the player is within range here
end)
#5

What doesn’t work about this script? Does it throw an error or not calculate the distance correctly?

#7

player:DistanceFromCharacter gives the distance from the Player to the Character, not from the character to a random part.

Look at my previous post.

Assuming you’ve defined part1 correctly, it should work just fine. As a test, try setting 5 to a larger number and see what you get since 5 studs is pretty small. We may need to see more of your script to help you beyond that.

This works for me. I just tossed it into a loop to test. (Worked Server & Local)

Edit with the correct variables… 

local part1 = workspace.part1

while wait(1) do
		if player:DistanceFromCharacter(part1.Position) <= 5 then
			print(player:DistanceFromCharacter(part1.Position))
			part1.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()
		else
			print(player:DistanceFromCharacter(part1.Position))
			part1.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red()
		end
	end
