So far everything works, when the NPC is near the light it dims gradually, thanks to Nikon1j1. I can't seem to get more than one light to dim when the NPC is near, even when both lights are identical it is only working for that one light.

-- || object references ||
local ws = game:GetService("Workspace") -- GetService is used in this context to create a shorthand for workspace, "ws". This isn't necessarily relevant to the script, but it's something I like to do when working with workspace objects
local part, npcTorso = ws.Light, ws.Demon:FindFirstChild("Torso") -- This assigns "part" to the part in Workspace, and "npcTorso" to the "Torso" part in the NPC (assuming there is one)
local light = part:FindFirstChild("Light") -- The light will be referenced by the variable "Light", assuming the location of the light is "game.Workspace.Part.Light".

-- || configurations ||
local maxBrightness = 2 -- This is the maximum brightness, where the NPC is farthest from the light
local minBrightness = 0.1 -- This is the brightness that will be shown when the NPC is directly at the same position as the light.

-- || numbers that change ||
local radius = 30 -- This is the radius in which the light will start to dim when the NPC comes near it.
while wait(1/30) do
    local distance = (npcTorso.Position - part.Position).magnitude -- See above, this is getting the distance between the NPC and the part
    if distance <= radius then -- This checks if the NPC is within the radius in which the light will be affected
        local brightness = (distance/radius) * maxBrightness -- This calculates the brightness based on distance
        if (brightness < minBrightness) then -- If the brightness drops below the minimum brightness
            brightness = minBrightness -- Set it to the minimum brightness
        end
        light.Brightness = brightness -- Finally, set the brightness of the light
    end
end

-- Huge credit to nikon1j1 for huge help!

If you named a light the same name then it should work or add a intvalue inside the light and call it tag or something and then in the script check if that object has the certain child called tag

It looks like your only referencing one light, instead of doing that mabye make a table or do that tag thing or if a part is near its radius then check if its name is light
