Why does this touch event disappear whenever another player enters the area?
So, I have a huge invisible brick with CanCollide off around an area, and it's supposed to show the player a gui while they're in that area. However, whenever someone else enters the area, it removes the gui for anyone currently in the area. Any help?
--Hide the indicator
script.Parent.Transparency = 1
--The indicator was touched
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(touching)
--Check if the part is part of a player
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(touching.Parent)
if player then
--If the gui doesn't exist, make the gui
if player.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("gangTurf") == nil then
local gui = game.ServerStorage.GuiStore.gangTurf:Clone()
gui.Parent = player.PlayerGui
script.Parent.TouchEnded:connect(function(newTouch)
--If the part that disconnected was from the receiving player, then remove the gui.
--Prevents weird flashing of the gui.
local checkPlayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(newTouch.Parent)
if checkPlayer == player then
gui:Destroy()
end
end)
end
end
end)

Why not use http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Player/DistanceFromCharacter and stop having lag? hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y

while true do
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
repeat wait() until v.Character
if (v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - game.Workspace["PART"].Position).magnitude <= 10 then --Put the distance from which the player should start seeing the GUI
GUI.Visible = true
end
end
wait()
end
Make sure to run through my script for errors, and make sure to locate the GUI and part from where they are located in your editor.
I HIGHLY ADVISE YOU TO ASK ME ANYTHING IF YOU RUN INTO PROBLEMS!!!
