Custom ProximityPrompt using userInputService not working

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

I love the style of custom prompts in games like: Jailbreak, Wild West, that were used before ProximityPrompts were a thing. Especially like what Egg Hunt 2018 used.

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    I attempted to give it a shot myself, however im very inexperienced so its no suprise I couldnt get it working. I used a Billboard Frame, Module Scripts for the tween, click detection and the actual main module i call from a localscript. The issue is that If i make multiple instances (LocalScript and the gui) they function as one and can be activated only by the last prompt.




    On top of that the click detection doesnt even work.

  2. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    There doesnt seem to be much on this topic here or atleast couldnt find it. The only solution that would I can think of is to ditch the modules and put it all in one script.
    After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!¨

Main Module

local ProximityBubbleModule = {}
local module = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.ProxBubble.TweenModule)
function ProximityBubbleModule.Initialize(player, proxBubble)

	ProximityBubbleModule.Activated = false
	local tweenlength = 0.75

	local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

	local CD = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.ClickDetect)
	local Image = proxBubble.ImageButton
	local bubbleNear = "rbxassetid://115943053973095"
	local bubbleFar = "rbxassetid://98198133428899"
	ProximityBubbleModule.object = proxBubble.Adornee
	local checkforpos = true

	local distance = Image:FindFirstChild("FarDistance") and Image.FarDistance.Value or 0
	local distanceMax = Image:FindFirstChild("MAXDistance") and Image.MAXDistance.Value or 0
	module.Initialize(tweenlength, proxBubble)

	while checkforpos do
		if ProximityBubbleModule.object then
			local playerPos = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
			local objectPos = ProximityBubbleModule.object.Position
			if (objectPos - playerPos).magnitude < distance then --STATE 1 - set to nearImage
				proxBubble.Enabled = true
				module.tweenscaleOut:Play()
				
				Image.Image = bubbleNear
				ProximityBubbleModule.isStage1 = true
				
				if CD.justClicked then
					ProximityBubbleModule.Activated = true
					task.wait(0.01)
					
					ProximityBubbleModule.Activated = false
				end
			elseif (objectPos - playerPos).magnitude <= distanceMax then --STATE 2 - set to farImage
				module.tweenscaleIn:Play()
				
				Image.Image = bubbleFar
				proxBubble.Enabled = true
				ProximityBubbleModule.isStage1 = false
			else --STATE 3 - disable
				proxBubble.Enabled = false
				ProximityBubbleModule.isStage1 = false
			end
		end
		task.wait(.01)
	end
end

return ProximityBubbleModule

Click Detection

local module = {}

local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
module.justClicked = false
local amountclicked = 0
local lastClickTime = 0

userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		if gameProcessed then return end
		local currentTime = tick()
		if currentTime - lastClickTime >= .5 then
			amountclicked = amountclicked + 1
			lastClickTime = currentTime
			module.justClicked = true
			task.wait(0.01)
			module.justClicked = false
		end
	end
end)

return module

Tween Module

local module = {}

function module.Initialize(tweenlength, proxBubble)
	local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
	local tweeninfoIn = TweenInfo.new(
		tweenlength,
		Enum.EasingStyle.Back,
		Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
		0,
		false,
		tweenlength/10
	)
	local tweeninfoOut = TweenInfo.new(
		tweenlength,
		Enum.EasingStyle.Back,
		Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
		0,
		false,
		tweenlength/10
	)

	local goaltweenIn = {}
	goaltweenIn.Size = UDim2.new(1.25, 0, 1.25, 0)
	module.tweenscaleIn = tweenService:Create(proxBubble, tweeninfoIn, goaltweenIn)

	local goaltweenOut = {}
	goaltweenOut.Size = UDim2.new(2, 0, 2, 0)
	module.tweenscaleOut = tweenService:Create(proxBubble, tweeninfoOut, goaltweenOut)
end

return module

Gui LocalScript


local ProximityBubbleModule = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.ProxBubble.ProximityBubbleModule)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local proxBubble = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ProxBubble.Char1")
local Frame = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui").ViewportFrame
ProximityBubbleModule.Initialize(player, proxBubble)

while true do
	if ProximityBubbleModule.Activated then
		Frame.Visible = true
		print("ACTIVATED")
	else
		Frame.Visible = false
		print("notactivated")
	end

	task.wait(0.01)
end

My bad if i made any mistakes writing this, Im completely new here.
I know the code is pretty awful but as i said im inexperienced so bear with me :3
