Clientside tool not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am making a game with a tool that, when equipped, will place a ProximityPrompt in a part in the Workspace. When unequipped, this proximityprompt will disappear. I also want this proximity prompt to be clientsided, and then when it is activated, run serverside code. I am guessing I will have to do that with a remote event but idrk what to do. I have written some code for it, but the proximity prompt is not appearing. If you would like to see the code then I will gladly post it

No matter what you create on the client, the server will not see it. That’s the goal of the client-server boundary and FilteringEnabled. If you’d like to make a proximity prompt appear only for you and run some serverside code, you should make a RemoteEvent and a server script for that code, and a client script that detects when the proximity prompt in question is activated.

Your code will likely differ but the basic implementation is as follows:

Client:

tool = path.to.tool
event = path.to.remoteevent
part = path.to.part
proximityprompt = nil

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    proximityprompt = Instance.new("ProximityPrompt", part)
    proximityprompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
        event:FireServer()
    end)
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    if proximityprompt then
        proximityprompt:Destroy()
    end
end

Server:

remoteevent = path.to.remoteevent
remoteevent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
    --code here
end)
