How do you make a GUI appear when you go near an object?

Use a transparent part and the touched event

you can use a transparent part to do this, but i find it more smooth if you just happen get the users position and if they're close enough to the part give it, if they're not or move away then just remove the gui.

Using magnitude and constantly checking where the player's position is isn't very efficient.

i don't see why that would be inefficient especially if your game revolves around users being near certain parts to prompt a GUI (such as different shops, etc).

Using an invisible part would be more efficient because you don't have to use a loop.

Not all loops are laggy you know
