How come im unable to calculate a players distance from a player they killed?
I'm trying to calculate a player's distance from a player they killed but it won't work, and when I check the error it only confuses me more.

I should have said this beforehand but the entire code is inside a ServerScript that is inside of ServerScriptService

To calculate length between parts to parts with vector, use .Magnitude! For example:
1 | local Distance = (Part1.Position - Part2.Position).Magnitude |
2 | print(Distance) -- The distance between Part1 to Part2 in studs |
So line 13 should be:
1 | local Distance = (PlayerCharacter.HumanoidRootPart.Position - character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude |
maybe the error is another issue, i dont really know how to fix it

I do know the error is from line 13, but when I put the ".magnitude" I still get the error from line 13(I should have said what line its from)) vincentthecat1 199 — 3y

You can use
1 | player:DistanceFromCharacter(OtherPlayer) |
Instead of using magnitude

Almost, the function requires a Vector3, not an instance. So you could do i.e OtherPlayer.Head.Position the8bitdude11 358 — 3y

So like this "local Distance = player:DistanceFromCharacter(Killer.HumanoidRootPart.Position)"? vincentthecat1 199 — 3y

Also the script is a serverscript vincentthecat1 199 — 3y
