light = game.Workspace.light.SpotLight
pp = script.Parent.ProximityPrompt
gen_pp = game.Workspace.generator.ProximityPrompt
failed = false
count = 0
rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
rs_battery = game.ReplicatedStorage.battery

local function myClone()
	local clonedPart = rs_battery:Clone()
	clonedPart.Parent = game.Workspace
	
	local bat_pp = Instance.new("ProximityPrompt")
	bat_pp.Parent = clonedPart
	
	bat_pp.Triggered:Connect(function(plr)
		local tool = Instance.new("Tool")
		tool.Name = "battery"
		local clone = rs_battery:Clone() -- this lets it know its the model 
		clone.Anchored = false
		clone.Name = "Handle" -- every tool has to have a handle
		clone.Parent = tool -- parent the handle
		tool.Parent = plr.Backpack -- telling the location 
		clonedPart:Destroy()
	end)
end

pp.Triggered:Connect(function()
	if failed == false then
		light.Enabled = not light.Enabled
		
		count = count +1
		
		if count >= 3 then
			light.Enabled = false
			failed = true
			count = 0
			myClone()
			gen_pp.Enabled = true
			print"failed"
		end
	end
end)

gen_pp.Triggered:Connect(function(plr)
	if failed == true then 
		failed = false
		
		local battery_char = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("battery")
		local battery_back = plr.Backpack:FindFirstChild("battery")
		
		if battery_char ~= nil then 
			battery_char:Destroy()
			gen_pp.Enabled = false
		elseif battery_back ~= nil then
			battery_back:Destroy()
			gen_pp.Enabled = false
		end
		print"fixed"
	end
end)

i’m making a light system where when they break you need to have the battery to fix them. everything is working except for the proximity prompt. i only want it to be able to be fixed with the battery. right now you can fix it whenever. which leads to more issues like multiple battries spawning if it keeps breaking an you don’t have the battery.

help appreciated
