How to find the distance of a Mouse Click?

Asked 761 views1 answers

I read this and it worked (Goulstem's Answer) https://scriptinghelpers.org/questions/17049/how-would-i-fix-click-detectors-if-filtering-is-enabled

However, this makes it so you can click at any distance. I was wondering how you would make it so once it was clicked in the distance 10, then the script would carry out its function instead of anywhere > 10

This is the script

local Plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = Plr:GetMouse()
local part = workspace.Note

mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
local Que = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Quest
local targ = mouse.Target
if targ == part then

No errors, just simply want to know if anyone else knows how to make it so this only functions from the distance less or equal to 10 ...thanks

Basically, you have to get player's position and distance between him and target. So first, take player's position (in this case i will take the position of player's head):

local pos = Plr.Character.Torso.Position

then take the distance between head and target and make the 'if' statement:

if (pos - targ.Position).magnitude <= 10 then

or you can do Plr:DistanceFromCharacter(vector3 value)
