Why doesn't this inventory system work?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey, im making a inventory system and Im trying to get a gui to show that your near a part. But for some reason it only works for one part in the folder. Please help!

local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local character
repeat wait() character = player.Character until character
local inDistance = false
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	for _, object in ipairs(game:GetService("Workspace").Interactables:GetChildren()) do
		local humanoidRootPart = character["HumanoidRootPart"]
		local basePart = object or object.PrimaryPart
		local distance = math.floor((humanoidRootPart.Position - basePart.Position).Magnitude)
		--print(distance.." STUDS AWAY")
		if distance < 5 then
			script.Parent.Visible = true
			inDistance = true
		else
			script.Parent.Visible = false
			inDistance = false
		end
	end
end)

I never use math.floor with Magnitude, try using this. If this don’t work try increasing the distance to 10 or something.

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local character
repeat wait() character = player.Character until character
local inDistance = false
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	for _, object in ipairs(game:GetService("Workspace").Interactables:GetChildren()) do
		local humanoidRootPart = character["HumanoidRootPart"]
		local basePart = object or object.PrimaryPart
		local distance = (humanoidRootPart.Position - basePart.Position).Magnitude
		--print(distance.." STUDS AWAY")
		if distance < 5 then
			script.Parent.Visible = true
			inDistance = true
		else
			script.Parent.Visible = false
			inDistance = false
		end
	end
end)

Nope, still does the same thing where it only works on one part.

#4

Just to make sure, is that a local script or a server script?

#5

Its in a local script. It works but it only is working for one part in the folder.

#6

Does it error in the output? If so, what’s the error?

#7

nope, just doesn’t reach to all the bricks.

#8

Is it possible if you can record a video? That would help me to understand the current situation. Thanks. :+1:

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local character
repeat wait() character = player.Character until character
local inDistance = false
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	for _, object in ipairs(game:GetService("Workspace").Interactables:GetChildren()) do
		local humanoidRootPart = character["HumanoidRootPart"]
		local basePart = object or object.PrimaryPart
		local distance = (humanoidRootPart.Position - basePart.Position).Magnitude
		--print(distance.." STUDS AWAY")
		if distance < 5 then
			script.Parent.Visible = true
			inDistance = true
            break
		else
			script.Parent.Visible = false
			inDistance = false
		end
	end
end)

Try this, Maybe this would work.
As what i think, the issue is that When the Script makes the GUI Visible, It still continues checking
the Distance between you and Other Parts, Which causes it to become Not Visible.

I Know i am bad at explaining, but give my script a try.

Small nitpick, but this doesn’t work when the character dies.
A really simple fix for this is:

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
    character = player.Character
end)
player.CharacterRemoving:Connect(function()
    character = nil
end)
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
    if not character then return end
    -- do all that stuff
end)
