help with .Changed?
distance = 10
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p)
while wait() do
mag = (p.Character.Torso.Position - game.Workspace.Part.Position).magnitude
mag.Changed:connect(function()
mag = (p.Character.Torso.Position - game.Workspace.Part.Position).magnitude
if mag < distance then
p.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.atm.Visible = true
elseif mag > distance then
p.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.atm.Visible = false
end
end)
end
end)
this script is supposed to open up a gui when the player gets close enough to it. it works if i take out the .changed, but i dont want it lagging up the game. and another probem with the .Changed, whenever i run the script, it says in the output:
Workspace.mags:6: attempt to index global 'mag' (a number value)
i don't get this error. Is there anyway to do this with .Changed?

PreciseLogic is correct. But, instead of detecting when the magnitude changes, why not just check when the Torso is changed?
Torso.Changed:connect(function(Property) -- This has a property of what was changed
if Property == "Position" then
print('The position was changed!')
end
end)
Since I'm preoccupied doing something else, I can't whip up the whole script for you, but the example I gave above will come handy. You can only called the Changed event on Objects, not '.Value's. Hope I helped!
I think the problem is that Magnitude is a value and .Changed can not be used for specific values, it only tracks changes to the Object.
For instance, if I had a Number Value called "Money", I wouldn't do...
Money.Value.Changed:connect(function()
blah blah
end)
That would result in an error. Instead it would be...
Money.Changed:connect(function()
blah blah
end)
You'll have to rethink a way on how to find when the magnitude changes.
