How do I restrict a building distance?

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer local Mouse = Player:GetMouse() local Distance = 25 Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function(Hit) local part = Instance.new("Part",workspace) part.Position = Vector3.new(Mouse.Hit.Position - ((Player.Character.Head.Position - Mouse.Hit.Position).magnitude) + 25) end)

✓ Accepted answer

You're right about having to use magnitude, but you didn't use it like you should. Also, you should be aware that your code does not abide by the rules of Filtering Enabled, so the part will only be seen by the client.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local MaxDistance = 25

Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	local distance = (Player.Character.Head.Position - Mouse.Hit.p).magnitude
	if distance <= MaxDistance then
		local part = Instance.new("Part")
		part.Parent = workspace --second argument of .new() deprecated
		part.Position = Mouse.Hit.p
	end
end)

Be aware that Button1Down has no parameters. You can, however, access the Hit property through the :GetMouse() method like I did.

This only places the part if you click 25 studs to the player. I wanted the script to be able to click anywhere, but if you do more than 25 studs, it puts the brick inside a 25 stud area.
