  1. What do you want to achieve? I am making something and I want to enable a proximity promt LOCALLY when you have a tool equipped in your backpack, and when the tool is taken out of your backpack the proximity promt to go away.

  2. What is the issue? I have no Idea how to do it,

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I looked everywhere.

So, I did some experimenting and the below script will basically be a quick replication of how to do this:

To Enable:

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
ProximityPrompt.Enabled = true;
end)

To Disable:

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
ProximityPrompt.Enabled = false;
end)

Well I know how to do that, but that would be serverside

Wait never mind I think I misread your question. Do you want to disable and enable the prompt on the server, but from a local script, or do you want the prompt disabled and enables only on the client?

I think you would put it in a local script

7

I want it to disable/enable only on clientside

I think putting it in a local script would do it, but I am not 100% sure. I cannot test it rn, sorry

Do you put yours in a server script?

The proximity prompt its self is a serverscript although it fires a remote to the client where it allows everything to happen there. (:

The tool its self is client-sided to hide/show the proximity prompt.
