Hi all! I usually have a base line idea of where to start with my problems, but this one I have no idea.
Here's what I want to accomplish: When the Player is within X distance of a block... A text gui will pop up on their screen and The script will respond if a certain key is pushed, in this case spacebar
Any help is greatly appreciated, I have very little experience with magnitude and keystrokes.
Well, first we need to get the distance between the player and the block.
--in a localScript
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if not player.Character then player.CharacterAdded:wait() end
char = player.Character
block = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Block") --or something
maxDistance = 10
char.Torso.Changed:connect(function(prop)
if prop == "CFrame" then
local dis = (block.Position-char.Torso.Position).magnitude
if dis <= maxDistance then
end
end
end)
Well great! Now we have the distance between the player and the block.
Next, we need to get the gui visible.
--in a localScript
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if not player.Character then player.CharacterAdded:wait() end
char = player.Character
block = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Block") --or something
maxDistance = 10
gui = --something
char.Torso.Changed:connect(function(prop)
if prop == "CFrame" then
local dis = (block.Position-char.Torso.Position).magnitude
if dis <= maxDistance then
gui.Visible = true
else
gui.Visible = false
end
end
end)
Perfect! Now for the space press.
--in a localScript
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if not player.Character then player.CharacterAdded:wait() end
char = player.Character
block = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Block") --or something
maxDistance = 10
gui = --something
char.Torso.Changed:connect(function(prop)
if prop == "CFrame" then
local dis = (block.Position-char.Torso.Position).magnitude
if dis <= maxDistance then
gui.Visible = true
end
end
end)
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(key,gameThing)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space and not gameThing and gui.Visible then
--do stuff
end
end)
Perfect! UserInputService FTW! And magnitude

Pretty good, but may need some explaining, since, like he said, he is ignorant of how this works.
Wow, I wasn't expecting such an in depth response. Thank you very much!!
