How do I make a BillboardGUI dissapear at a certain range?
Hi. I want a BillboardGUI to be visible when you're close to it, but disappear when you get too far away.
I tried this script, but it doesnt seem to work.
local distance = (game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Position).magnitude
while true do wait()
if distance < 10 then
print("visible")
else
print("not visible")
end
end

Distance is static and never changes. It needs to be in the loop to change. You can also consider MaxDistance of the GUI. DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 4y

Might not be the most efficient way to do this, but I thought I'd share this anyway
You can make a hitbox for the part, so when the player touches the hitbox, the Gui will be enabled
local hitbox = *part here*
local gui = *billboardgui here*
local debounce = true
hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Name == "HumanoidRootPart" and debounce then
gui.Enabled = true
debounce = false
end
end)
hitbox.TouchEnded:Connect(function(x)
if x.Name == "HumanoidRootPart" and not debounce then
gui.Enabled = false
debounce = true
end
end)
LocalScript btw

There is a property of the BillboardGUI called "MaxDistance" and it is exactly what you're looking for and measured in studs.
