How to make character dialogue when close?

So i want to be able to bring up a dialogue/message from this character when i press the UP key, but only when my character is close to him. How do I do this?? (im guessing it has something to do with proximity and filters but i have no idea
i want to be able to talk when i’m this far away (player on the right)

Well thats actually pretty simple! first you place a timer, I’d say around 5-----(check)proximity(whatever size you want the area)----(on)switch(your also going to have a once connected to off, or a timer it depends what your going for)----then connect the up arrow key to “in” on the switch----connect the switch to the dialog aaand kapazow!

(ignore everything past the switch)

I think there is an even simpler way, you can just set up the key to trigger the proximity check and if the proxy hits then it starts the dialogue

like so

Ah, perhaps we could merge the two ideas and make an even better solution!
