Hello.

I would like to know how to trigger a Proximity Prompt object without the need for the player to press an input. I’ve seen someone say to use “fireproximityprompt()” but that doesn’t seem like a real function.

I’m just curious on if it’s possible to.

#6

well no

im pretty sure that proximity prompts are a core gui (locked to roblox only)

#7

I’ll still try figuring out a way.

#8

Yes you can do that but in order to, you need to create a custom prompt.

#9

thats not really a proximity prompt anymore though

#10

same logic as
“You can get admin in roblox by rebuilding the entirety of roblox and getting all their players to join your game”

#11

roblox is wayy different I’m talking about something wayyy easier to make.

#12

but you dont really have a proximity prompt anymore

Question: what is proximity prompt?

Its an object that you can create. Also why did the dev of proximity prompt customizer chose this name when he’s litteraly creating a new prompt gui.

I guess no? Because the Triggered event has a player parameter, and if no player has triggered it, then there is no player parameter, kind of breaking it I guess.

I also couldn’t find a function that fires the Triggered event without player input, so I guess the answer is no.

That’s not a proximity prompt, I think he is talking about the ProximityPrompt instance.

I never meant the proximity prompt object, if you were to create one exactly like orignal, it still looks a proximity prompt object. It basicaly proximity prompt because it does the EXACT same thing as the object does.

That is so much hassle for a thing that already exists,

Though without a custom system its just not possible, but as stated in previous posts, he’s only asking about the ProximityPrompt instance, not making a custom one.

Basically, don’t reinvent the wheel.

Well, i was just saying. Just said if you wanna make that happen just make a custom one. Not forcing to actually create one. Sorry tho.

The only two functions that I know that allows you to trigger a prompt with is :InputHoldBegin() and :InputHoldEnd(). If you only need the trigger function to run and skip the hold duration; I recommend just using a BindableEvent/BindableFunction or RemoteEvent/RemoteFunction depending if it is client-to-server, client-sided, or server-sided
