I currently have a script to show a player’s info.
I am trying to make it only appear if they are close enough.
how would I do this?

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Position = UDim2.new(0, mouse.X + 10, 0, mouse.Y + 5)
	script.Parent.Visible = false
	local target = mouse.Target
	if target and target.Parent then
		if target.Parent:FindFirstChild("ShowMouseOver") and target.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
			script.Parent.Text = target.Parent.Name.."/n"..target:GetRoleInGroup(4881614)
			script.Parent.Visible = true
		end

		if target:FindFirstChild("Mouseover") then
			script.Parent.Text = target.Mouseover.Value
			script.Parent.Visible = true
		end
	end
end)

What is the problem here/what doesnt work? Also I’m assuming you are trying to make a line break in this line: script.Parent.Text = target.Parent.Name.."/n"..target:GetRoleInGroup(4881614)
Do \n instead of /n

How would I do this?
also no, /n works.

#4

Get the player’s character position. Then check if the mouse target’s position - character position magnitude is less than a certain number

#5

…
please stupid this down for me. -_-

#6 
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local pos1 = char.HumanoidRootPart.Position
local pos2 = target.Position
if (pos1 - pos2).magnitude < Maximum Distance then

end

So if I am correct, the code should be

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Position = UDim2.new(0, mouse.X + 10, 0, mouse.Y + 5)
	script.Parent.Visible = false
	local target = mouse.Target
	if target and target.Parent then
		local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
		local pos1 = char.HumanoidRootPart.Position
		local pos2 = target.Position
		if (pos1 - pos2).magnitude < 20 then
			if target.Parent:FindFirstChild("ShowMouseOver") and target.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
				script.Parent.Text = target.Parent.Name.."/n"..target:GetRoleInGroup(4881614)
				script.Parent.Visible = true
			end

			if target:FindFirstChild("Mouseover") then
				script.Parent.Text = target.Mouseover.Value
				script.Parent.Visible = true
			end
		end
	end
end)

Yes that should work.

ok. it doesn’t. what am I doing wrong? :confused:

#10 
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Position = UDim2.new(0, mouse.X + 10, 0, mouse.Y + 5)
	script.Parent.Visible = false
	local target = mouse.Target
	if target and target.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then
		local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
		local pos1 = char.HumanoidRootPart.Position
		local pos2 = target.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position
		if (pos1 - pos2).magnitude < 20 then
			if target.Parent:FindFirstChild("ShowMouseOver") and target.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
				script.Parent.Text = target.Parent.Name.."/n"..target:GetRoleInGroup(4881614)
				script.Parent.Visible = true
			end

			if target:FindFirstChild("Mouseover") then
				script.Parent.Text = target.Mouseover.Value
				script.Parent.Visible = true
			end
		end
	end
end)

Still doesn’t work…
:confused:

#12

Is this a screen gui? If so then use PlayerGui to edit it

#13

wdym???

#14

You would need to use;

(what_ever_you_called_player_here).PlayerGui From there all the GUI’s on the players side is located.

But game.StarterGui.(GUI_Name_Here) is Server Sided and appears for everyone.

#15

??? This makes no sense to me ???

#16

breakdown;

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
player.PlayerGUI --Get access to the players GUI (player sided)

game.StarterGui --This is displayed for every player in game (server sided)
