local script? Can you explain what you’re* trying to do?

#4

The EggOpenerPart is a part in the Egg and I want to get the magnitude of the egg and HumanoidRootPart

#5

I meant like is your script a local script or not? a lil more depth in your explanation could help aswell

Like why didn’t you connect an event? if possible

#6 
local char = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Character") or game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Character")
#7

I have a part near the egg and I want to see the magnitude of the eggPart and the HumanoidRootPart

#8 
use game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(Character.Name) not game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Character")

if you use game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(“Character”) this mean your looking for name called Character

#9

I know you said that but is your script a local script or not. I just need to know so i can properly help and give recommendations

#10

Its a local script sorry If i was not clear enough

#11

look
using this code mean("character")your looking for something called character
using this code mean (character.Name)your looking for opject have same name with player character

#12

Where is the script located? within StaterGui or something? I’m very curious i have an idea of what you can use

#14

The Script is in StarterPlayerScripts

#15

Here is a better way to test the magnitude you wanted

local Players=  game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Player.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local HumanoidRootPart = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local EggOpener = script.Parent --// Im unsure about this...

While true do
wait(1)
local Magnitude = (HumanoidRootPart .Position- EggOpener.Position).magnitude
print(Magnitude)
end

repeat wait() player:FindFirstChild(Character) until player:FindFirstChild(Character) ~= nil

local Character = player:FindFirstChild(Character)
