Is this Server Script? If it’s make sure you are changing the value to true or false on server not on client.

By the way, this is a tangent but you can do this much more efficiently using Roblox Signals

local prompt = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("DrivePrompt")
local locked = script.Parent.Parent.Locked

prompt.Enabled = locked.Value
locked.Changed:Connect(function() 
    prompt.Enabled = locked.Value
end)

What this does is registers an “Event” for when the value of Locked changes, and then only runs your code when that happens. This means you don’t have to constantly check :slight_smile:

EDIT: Check out @EmbatTheHybrid 's answer for working code :stuck_out_tongue:

You’re close, it’s better to do this

local car = script.Parent.Parent
local prompt = car:WaitForChild("DrivePrompt")
local locked = car:WaitForChild("Locked")

prompt.Enabled = not locked.Value
locked.Changed:Connect(function(newVal)
	print(newVal)
	prompt.Enabled = not newVal
end)

Because in his code, if Locked is false then the prompt enables, and vice versa, so you need to use not
