I’m decently new to scripting, however I know enough to make my own projects. To make some things, I need to understand more about UserInputService. The thing I need help with most right now, is how to make a range for UserInputService. For example, in Flee the Facility, when you walk near a door, it gives you the GUI and option to press E to open. How would I make UserInputService work for only the thing I’m in the correct range for? Thank you for reading.

You can look into magnitudes. When the user presses the button, it checks if the magnitude is smaller than a number you set. This will tell you if the range is close enough to the object you want.

Thanks, this is helpful, however I don’t think this was an answer to what I meant. I’m sorry for being confusing but what I meant was more like; “If a player is within 10 studs of the door a GUI label pops up telling me to press e to do -insert action here-”
I have the same problem about this as well, but I think my solution is just RunService.Heartbeat to constant check the magnitude between all player’s character model’s primary part current position and a NPC primary part. So it would be like:
local distance = (playerCharacter.PrimaryPart.Position - NPCModel.PrimaryPart.Position).Magnitude
Then RunService.Heartbeat to constantly check if distance <= maxRange, where maxRange is the maximum distance the player must be in to have like the GUI E turn on, and use a remote event to FireClient, then make the client to listen for this event being fired. When FireClient, just FireClient to whoever is near the NPC, then trigger the GUI.
