Magnitude based touch pad?

Feahren is correct. "The magnitude is calculated as a const; you're using a static number, you need to recalculate their distance each time.

Edited code:

local breakchecks = false
local pads = {script.Parent.p1, script.Parent.p2, script.Parent.p3, script.Parent.p4}
for i, v in pairs(pads) do
    spawn(
        function()
            while wait() do
                for i, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
                    if plr.Character then
                        if (v.Position - plr.Character:WaitForChild("Torso").Position).magnitude < 4 then
                            print("near")
                            v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Baby blue")
                        end
                        repeat
                            wait()
                        until (v.Position - plr.Character:WaitForChild("Torso").Position).magnitude >= 4
                        v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Persimmon")
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    )
end
