How would I compare the players location to all other players in the server?
So, I'm trying to find the difference between the player who sent the FireServer request, and all other players in the server to check if they are within 300 studs, I tried this but I recieved the error bad argument expected string got table.
local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remote = repStorage.Remotes:WaitForChild("senseRemote")
remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
for i, v in pairs("game.Players:GetChildren()")
do
local inRange = (player.character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude
if inRange < 300 and v.Team.Value ~= player.Team.Value then
remote:Disconnect(player)
end
end
end)

I will be adding more code after the in Range statement so changing the format completely won't work for what I need. Feroxidus 83 — 4y

I think the player.Team doesn't need a ".value" after it ALSO remove the " between game.Players:GetChildren() (in the loop) TheRealPotatoChips 793 — 4y

The "bad argument" error is because you're passing a string inside the pairs method.
local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remote = repStorage.Remotes:WaitForChild("senseRemote")
remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
local inRange = (player.character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude
if inRange < 300 and v.Team ~= player.Team then
remote:Disconnect(player)
end
end
end)
If you have any other concerns be sure to comment and we can figure it out :)
