Custom ProximityPrompt

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Greetings, I have created a custom Proximity Prompt. But I have 2 issues.

First one is, that the Proximity Prompts won’t list up on each other like normal ones would do. So when I add more than 1 Proximity Prompts they start being overlapped, with that one comes the second problem. Only a single Prompt is showing up at time, even when the Keyboard Key Codes are different.

Design
This is what they look like right now.

Conclusion
First off all thank you for reading my post. I would appreciate any help or suggestions how to improve this system.

The client script:

local ProximityPromptService = game:GetService("ProximityPromptService")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui", 30)

local PromptGui = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Prompt", 30)

local PromptTweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.3, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
local PromptHoldTweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)

“ProximityPrompt” instances can only be triggered in server scripts.

Don’t worry the ProximityPrompt works fine, the only problem I have is the listing of multiple ProximityPrompts.

#4

You need to configure it with a Server Script via proximity prompt service i believe

#5
#6

Have you tried using UIListLayout so they don’t overlap?

#7

Yes I tried that already but as it’s 2 separated BillboardGUIs it won‘t work.

#8

That fixed my first issue, but the listing of multiple BillboardGUIs still does not work.

#9

do multiple different prompts then, are you trying to combine 3 in 1 proximity prompt?

#10

Hello, do you think you could make this open sourced like in a game, I like this might want to code over it.
