local popup = script.Parent;
local target = Mouse.Target;
local char = player.Character;

popup.Position = UDim2.new(0, (Mouse.X - 100), 0, (Mouse.Y + 60));

if (target and char) then
    -- To check for the distance we have to have the target's position, so it can't be nil.
    local dist = player:GetDistanceFromCharacter(target.Position);
    popup.Visible = (dist > 7) and false or true; -- ProTip: this is a Terenary Operator, it's the same as saying if dist > 7 then popup.Visible = false else popup.Visible = true end
else
    popup.Visible = false;
end
