This is the code used to create the normal proximity prompts but formatted for custom proximity prompts. To create your own, you’d manage the custom prompts the same way the code does using a lot of the prompt’s events and the ProximityPromptService’s events.
Generally it works like this: on ProximityPromptService.PromptShown create a new prompt UI (if the prompt’s style is set to custom) then connect to the prompt’s events (triggered, etc.) and clean up the new prompt UI when ProximityPrompt.PromptHidden fires.
