Do proximity prompts require manual distance verification?

[notsad2 (nots7d)]

Simple question;

Do proximity prompts have a built in anti-cheat that stops the logic from running if the player is too far away? or do i need to code that in myself

proximity prompts have a property called MaxActivationDistance, but i’m not sure if it’s any relevant

basically what i’m asking in code is:

prompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
   if (playerRoot.Position - promptPosition).Magnitude > distance then return end 
   -- ^ is this required to stop exploiters from triggering prompts from too far? ^
end)

They don’t. Best to use manual checks, and frankly, if you set the Enabled property to false, you can still activate it for a short period of time.

It is required, cheaters can fire proximity prompts regardless of distance or of MaxActivationDistance

no, but exploiters can fire proximity prompts from far away, so its best to check the distance and how long they hold it for in a server script
