:I am working on a script where if a player gets close enough to a door, a billboard gui comes up, and when they move far enough away it dissapears. The billboard gui lets them press e to open or close the door, but how would I detect when and when not the player is close enough to the door?

You use magnitude to determine the distance between two parts. For this situation I would use a while loop.
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local door = workspace.Door
local closestDistance = 20
while true do
wait(1)
local distance = (char.HumanoidRootPart.Position - door.Position).magnitude
if distance <= closestDistance then
--do code
end
end
By Using Magnitude. Place a magnitude function into the part
local magnitude = (part1.Position - part2.Position).magnitude
if magnitude < 5 then
--Put code in here to move door such as Tween or CFrame..
end
ALSO you can place an invisible block in front of and behind the door and use the Touched command like so.
-- place this in the invisible block
Part= script.Parent
Part.Touched:connect(function()
--Put code in here to move door such as Tween or CFrame..
end)

Thanks a lot, I changed the player detection a little bit but besides that it worked great :)
