Magnet script only works on a single instance of the object. (kinda)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am making a Magnet script that either attracts or pushes away the player.

But the script, for some reason, only does one part of the script. From the location of the first found Instance.

Example:

Here is the script that handles the magnets:

-- Magnet Logic
rs:BindToRenderStep("magnetize",422,function(t)
	for i, mag in pairs(workspace.Magnetize_:GetChildren()) do	
		--print(v,v.PrimaryPart.Position,pushVector,npushVector)
		local r = mag:GetAttribute("Range")
		local m = mag:GetAttribute("Multiplier")
		print(mag:GetAttribute("Attract"))
		if mag:GetAttribute("Attract") == false then
			if mag.PrimaryPart.Position.Magnitude - plrb.Position.Magnitude <= r then
				local pushVector = plrb.Position - mag.PrimaryPart.Position 
				--print(mag,"Repulsor")
				plrb.AssemblyLinearVelocity = plrb.AssemblyLinearVelocity + pushVector*m
			end
		elseif mag:GetAttribute("Attract") == true then
			if mag.PrimaryPart.Position.Magnitude - plrb.Position.Magnitude <= r then
				local npushVector = mag.PrimaryPart.Position - plrb.Position
				--print(mag,"Attractor")
				plrb.AssemblyLinearVelocity = plrb.AssemblyLinearVelocity + npushVector*m
			end
		end
	end
end)

plrb is the player’s ball

Here is the configuration im using for the parts.

From many prints, I know that mag is going through every instance like its supposed to and displays the correct Attract boolean, but still triggers the first instance when I enter the area of the 2nd instance.

if mag.PrimaryPart.Position.Magnitude - plrb.Position.Magnitude <= r then

This equation does not return a distance check. It’s close to this which is likely what you want, an actual distance check.

if (mag.PrimaryPart.Position - plrb.Position).Magnitude <= r then
