Gui not changing

[TheGameMaker178 (Marcus)]

I’m making a script where if your close enough to an npc a gui will pop up and text will apear on it but the gui will not appear nor disapear.

You’re on the right track, you need to be frequently checking the distance not just checking it once when the script first executes.

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local screenGui = script.Parent
local npc = workspace.NPC

while true do
    task.wait(1) --change this if necessary
    local distance = (npc.HumanoidRootPart.Position - character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
    if distance > 6 then
        screenGui.Enabled = false
    else
        screenGui.Enabled = true
    end
end

Its working now thanks for the help!

Like @Forummer said, you need to check it frequently. He used a while true do loop, though I would recommend using RunService.Renderstepped.

Code:

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
    local distance = (npc.HumanoidRootPart.Position - character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
    if distance > 6 then
        screenGui.Enabled = false
    else
        screenGui.Enabled = true
    end
end)

Don’t give me the solution
