Interactables in ROBLOX

Setups up interactables in a video game based on player distance from the object. Useful for showing "interact" buttons on anything from doors to cars etc.

interactableHandler.server.lua

local Interactables = game.Workspace.Interactables:GetChildren()
local CharacterRoot = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local current = nil

for _, interactable in pairs(Interactables) do
	local routine = coroutine.create(function(part1, part2, distance)
		RunService.Stepped:Connect(function()
			local d = (part1.Position - part2.Position).Magnitude
			if d < distance then
				if current then
					current.BillboardGui.Enabled = false
				end
				current = interactable
			else
				interactable.BillboardGui.Enabled = false
			end
			if current then
				current.BillboardGui.Enabled = true
			end
		end)
	end)
	coroutine.resume(routine, interactable, CharacterRoot, 10)
