function funcNear()
local nearestPlr
for _, val in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do

if char then
local dist = val:DistanceFromCharacter(script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
if dist < script.Parent.Configuration.TriggerDistance.Value then
local nearestPlr = char
print(nearestPlr)
end
end
end
return nearestPlr
end
while wait(3) do
local x = funcNear()
print(x)
end
nearestPlr is just returning nil when being called.
have you realized you created nearestPlr twice?
once in line 2, local nearestPlr
twice in line 8, local nearestPlr = char
that is two different variables!!!!
by the time it reach line 13, the second variable is out of scope, it is returning the value in first variable created in line 2. oops. you have never set that variable in the first place.
just remove "local " in line 8
Thats what I told him. I guess, I have to be more specific next time.

You have to identify what nearestPlr is.
If no character is closer than
script.Parent.Configuration.TriggerDistance.Value, thennearestPlrwill never be assigned to. Also, if multiple characters are close enough, it will pick the first one it finds, rather than the one which is actually closer.yeah im aware, this was mainly to test returning a value to another modulescript
