How do I script multiple proximity prompts

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have portals around my game which will send players to different areas. I’m just wondering how to I script multiple proximity prompts In the same script? Btw I am using a local script for this, I’m not sure if a local script or a regular script will be better for this task? Anyways…

I tried putting all of my portals proximity prompts in a dictionary and looping through it but it didn’t work. I also learned about proximity prompt service, should I be using this instead?

#2

Where are you putting your local script?

#3

I put my script in Starter character scripts. It didn’t work then I put it in starter GUI and it didn’t work again.

#4

Well, can you share the script?

#5

Wait if your asking where I usually put my local scripts , I usually put them in starter character, starter player, and starter GUI. Most of the time I put my scripts in starter GUI.

#6

Yes sorry, how do I upload my script though? Do I just paste in what it says here?

#7

Yea, you use the format text button which looks like this </>

local pps = game:GetService("ProximityPromptService")

local destination = workspace.Part

local portals = {
	woodsPortals = {
		zone2 = workspace.zones.zone2.portals.woodsPortal.portal.ProximityPrompt
	},
	rockPortals = {
		startingArea = workspace.startingArea.portals.rockPortal.portal.ProximityPrompt
	},
	mysteryPortals = {
		startingArea = workspace.startingArea.portals.mysteryPortal.portal.ProximityPrompt,
		zone2 = workspace.zones.zone2.portals.mysteryPortal.portal.ProximityPrompt
	}
}



for portals, woodsPortalTriggers in pairs(portals.woodsPortals) do
	woodsPortalTriggers.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
		player.CFrame = destination.CFrame
	end)
end

Why are you changing the player’s CFrame but not the character’s CFrame?

Change this to:

player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = destination.CFrame

Oof sorry I’m sorry :disappointed: but am I using dictionaries right? Idk if this is the proper way to get proximity prompts

#11

Yes, you are using dictionaries correctly from my understanding.

#12

It works, thank you :smiley: I just wanted to ask one more thing, Is it better for players to teleport on the client or server?

#13

It is better on the server as its faster and more trustworthy.
