Hello, I’ve made a drink machine script with Proximity prompts, but whenever I test it, It doesn’t work. could anyone help me thanks!
I’ve checked output and there are no errors.

Well, first of all there is no Part parameter, the first parameter (and the only one I know) is the player that triggered the prompt. So you are checking if player.Parent (game.Players) .Name == "PlasticCup" which as you can see now, is clearly not

- Change the
Partparameter toPlayer. - Change the
Part.Parents toPart. - Right after you connect to the event, you need to put the following bit of code.
local Part = Player.Character:FindFirstChild("PlasticCup") or Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("PlasticCup")
if not PlasticCup then
return
end
Should fix your script if you do it correctly.

You coded it wrong. ProximityPrompts give a Player I believe.
for _, v in pairs(Part.Character:GetDescendants()) do
if v.Parent:IsA("Tool") and v.Name=="Handle" and v.Parent.Name=="Drink" then
v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Burnt Sienna")
v.Transparency = 0
end
end
replace that as it is present in your code.

Did you try my reply? Did it not work?
Your reply works, but I don’t believe the drink dispenser should be looking for a cup in the backpack. I also sensed that the part was actually a Handle in a Tool, so that’s why I added a few conditional statements.
That’s if there’s a delay between the Prompt being Triggered, and the Trigger event being fired, and the player somehow manages to unequip during that delay.
That’s my reasoning for step 2.
I did notice that you were using FindFirstChild, which seems like a better design from my understanding. But also, I have been getting strange errors in the output that say “Exception while signaling: Must be a LuaSourceContainer” and I cannot solve a single one of them. I do know that they occur when I sometimes use FindFirstChild or IsA in an unsynchronized thread.

What does your code look like now? I know how to fix this error, but I need to know what is causing it.
You forgot to add something to your code. You did not add a reference to Part. You must connect the event to the proximity prompt and put that code inside of the function.

Ohh, ok. I’ll try that right now.
I connected the Proximity Prompt event to the script, but for some reason the drink part still doesn’t work.
What does your code look like now?
What is the name of the drink you have? It should be named “Drink” according to this script.
Edit: Wait, I noticed the problem. You have two variables named “Part”.
Which “Part” should I change, (function, or .Character?
Edit: Nvm, I see.
