Yeah because you have it on a server script not in a local script

Local scripts can’t run in workspace they have to be in either StarterCharacterScripts, StarterPlayerScripts, ReplicatedFirst

Don’t use a localscript, they don’t work for 99% of cases in the workspace. Use a script with the run context set to local.

oh my god i just got a scripting blindness, this is the most logical answer that i have missed lmao thank you for the help ,

#24

wont that make it a local script?

#25

No, they’re different. Ones a localscript, with the classname “localscript”, ones a script that runs locally.

Or use a remoteevent, and fire it with the serverscript.
EXAMPLE:
this is serverscript

script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Trigged:Connect(function())
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireClient()
end

and this is localscript (shove it anywhere besides workspace)

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function)
	-- action here
end
