I am trying to make a custom Proximity Prompt-esc thing for a door, but its a surface gui instead of a billboard one. I don’t know how to tell.

Why are you making a custom proximity prompt? You can change the appearance of the built in one.

Also, what do you mean by

Its a surface gui instead of a billboard one. I don’t know how to tell

#3

You could check the magnitude between the player and that part, if it’s within a certain radius, then do stuff.

#4

I’m using a surface gui on the door with the keybind instead of a billboard gui.

#5

I attempted to do that in a local script but the code wasn’t running.

#6

Do you mean a custom billboard interact thing before ProximityPrompt were even a thing?

#7

Sort of. It’s on a surface gui as I don’t like billboards.

Ohhhhhh. You can use a raycast or do a magnitude like @Valkyrop said.

Edit:Just making a system for MrPieFace10 to help out.

Heres my bad system for your door system :

#10

I mean, why do you not want to use billboard guis? You can makr the billboard gui lower to be at the center of the door by the way

#11

Is the script local or server? also, is it located in the part or in the gui or somewhere else?

#12

Depending on how many of these you have, constantly checking magnitude is not the best idea unless you have it in a centralised script

#13

Its a server script and its parented to ServerScriptService.

#14

If I created a centralized script, how would I go about refrening all the doors?

#15

You could use tags, so collection service together with this tag editor plugin.
