Is there any better ways for GetchildenScript? Thanks for help!
This is my codes:
local Ghosts = workspace.Ghosts:GetChildren() -- this is a folder.
for i=1,#Ghosts - 1 do
local Ghost
local Distance = Player:DistanceFromCharacter(Ghosts[i].PrimaryPart.Position)
local NextDistance = Player:DistanceFromCharacter(Ghosts[i+1].PrimaryPart.Position)
if Distance < NextDistance then
Ghost = Ghosts[i]
else
Ghost = Ghosts[i+1]
end
end
My code only can get two ghosts :C
Does there the better way to change this?
I want make it can get two or up.
Thanks for answering!

If you want to get the closest ghost to the character, you can do something like this:
local Ghosts = workspace.Ghosts:GetChildren()
local function GetClosestGhost(Player)
if Player.Character and Player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
local ClosestDist = math.huge
local ClosestGhost
for _,Ghost in pairs(Ghosts) do
local GhostDistance = (Ghost.PrimaryPart.Position - Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude
if GhostDistance < ClosestDist then
ClosestDist = GhostDistance
ClosestGhost = Ghost
end
end
print("The closest ghost is", ClosestGhost)
return ClosestGhost
end
end
local Ghost = GetClosestGhost(PlayerHere)
This will iterate through every ghost while keeping track of the last closest ghost and the last closest distance. If a ghost is closer than the last closest distance, it will update the closest ghost to be the new one. Then, by the end, whichever ghost was the closest is returned.
