DistanceFromCharacter does not seem to work at all?
I have this script, which is in a folder, which is in a part in workspace. When I click on play, nothing happens at all and the output remains empty. It does not even print out 0. May someone please tell me what's wrong. This is my script.
for _, player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
print(player:DistanceFromCharacter(Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)))
end

When you click play, the server loads up, your script runs. Then, your character spawns in. So when this script runs, game.Players has nothing in it. Hook it up to the PlayerAdded event or wait() a little bit before the loop. theCJarmy7 1293 — 6y

Chances are, it's because the character isn't loaded yet.
Do this instead and you should get some output:
while true do -- loop it up boiiz
for _, player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
print(player:DistanceFromCharacter(Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)))
end
wait(1) -- ain't nobody got time 4 overflow
end
Or:
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) -- when a player joins
player.CharacterAdded:connect(function() -- when le character pops in
for _, player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
print(player:DistanceFromCharacter(Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)))
end
end
end
