Magnitude only works with one player and not the rest?
Over here, a GUI should pop up only visible by you nobody else (that goes for everyone else) whenever you get close to another player in the game. The problem is, it loops through all the players and just picks one for some reason. How can I make it so it works for all players? Heres my code. Help would be greatly appreciated :)
Edit: It works fine with the print function, just shows the GUI for one of the players which is weird
while true do
wait()
for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers())do
local magnitude = (player.Character.Head.Position - v.Character.Head.Position).magnitude
if magnitude < 10 and v.Name ~= player.Name then
print("You are next to ")..v.Name
billboard.Enabled = true
else
billboard.Enabled = false
end
end
end
If you can't figure it out I have an uncopylocked place that includes the same thing, if you have time, please look at it [https://www.roblox.com/games/914378398/Magnitude-Between-Players]

You're making the billboard gui unenabled even though it may have already been enabled by someone else. I'm asumming you do know that for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers())do iterates through every player in no specific order. This means that with your current script, even if it finds a player close to you and enables the gui, the for loop will still keep going and the next player that 'v' becomes might not be close to the player, thus unenabling the gui even though there is a nearby player. This is why the gui only pops up for only one player; that player must the last player that the for loop checks for, thus it doesn't unenable the gui because it doesn't move on to find any player that is not nearby. You could easily fix this with an if statement that checks for a variable after the for loop that unenables the gui if the loop didn't find any close players like so:
while true do
wait()
local closeplayers = nil --Always reset to no players after the loop ends
for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
local magnitude = (player.Character.Head.Position - v.Character.Head.Position).magnitude
if magnitude < 10 and v.Name ~= player.Name then
print("You are next to "..v.Name) --Also, this line was written wrong
billboard.Enabled = true
closeplayers = v.Name --If player found, change the variable
end
end
if closeplayers == nil then --If there are no close players, set enabled to false
billboard.Enabled = false
end
end
Hope that helps
