How to detect distance from player to object?
This is the current method im using. I'm trying to make a door you have to click "E" to open but I want it so you have to be in range of that door. I am current being faced with the error: "Workspace.Mdoor.Union.Script:5: bad argument #2 to '?' (Vector3 expected, got Object)"
The scripts are below. If anyone knows what im doing wrong and can help me that would be nice :D
Class: LocalScript
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local r = rs.Remotes:WaitForChild("DoorOpen1")
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local HRP = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position
local function key(inputObject, gameProcessed)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
r:FireServer(HRP)
end
end
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(key)
Class: Script
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local r = rs.Remotes:WaitForChild("DoorOpen1")
r.OnServerEvent:connect(function(HRP)
if (script.Parent.Position - HRP).magnitude <= 3 then
print(r.Name.. " was fired!")
local door = game.Workspace.Mdoor:WaitForChild("Union")
local hinge = game.Workspace.Mdoor:WaitForChild("Hinge")
local hingep = hinge.Position
for i = 1, 120 do
door.CFrame = CFrame.new(hingep)* CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(i),0) * CFrame.new(0.294,0,2.89500)
wait()
end
end
end)

You are getting this error because .OnServerEvent first returns the player firing the event and then the rest of the parameters you are passing along.
To fix this we simply account for it giving us player
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local r = rs.Remotes:WaitForChild("DoorOpen1")
r.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player,HRP)
if (script.Parent.Position - HRP).magnitude <= 3 then
print(r.Name.. " was fired!")
local door = game.Workspace.Mdoor:WaitForChild("Union")
local hinge = game.Workspace.Mdoor:WaitForChild("Hinge")
local hingep = hinge.Position
for i = 1, 120 do
door.CFrame = CFrame.new(hingep)* CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(i),0) * CFrame.new(0.294,0,2.89500)
wait()
end
end
end)
Also, I don't know if it's suppose to be like this but in your localscript you are setting HRP when the script loads. You may want to set that variable when the key function is ran so you get the character's current position.
