Key in Drawer, scripting fails after opening the drawer

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So basically. I have a drawer that when you click the Handle, it opens and brings the key out, which I would like to have so you could press E to pick it up out of the drawer. Problem is, the scripting after I bring it out of the drawer (I think) breaks. It works normally if it isn’t in the drawer, here is the scripting:

To open the drawer:

Please help me. Thank you.

I think you gotta add in a debounce in the second script photo. Also, you had a bunch of other formatting problems that I fixed up for you. Here is the modified code:

local tool = script.Parent
local handle = tool:WaitForChild("Handle")
local currentProx
local backpack

local isActive = false --debounce

if tool.Parent == workspace then
    local proxprompt = Instance.new("ProximityPrompt")
    proxprompt.Name = "Interact"
    proxprompt.KeyboardKeyCode = Enum.KeyCode.E
    proxprompt.ActionText = "Pick up"
    proxprompt.HoldDurnation = .3
    proxprompt.Parent = handle

    currentProx = handle:WaitForChild("Interact")
end

currentProx.Triggered:Connect(function(Plr)
    if isActive == false then
        isActive = true
        backpack = Plr:WaitForChild("Backpack")
        tool.Parent = backpack
        currentProx = nil
        proxprompt:Destroy()
        wait(2)
        isActive = false
end)

It doesn’t appear to be working, I just replaced the script with that script. Tell me if I am doing something wrong, I don’t script.

could we get a video of what is happening?

try using this website if you do not have any recording software. Click “Get Started”, and it should ask what type of audio and video you want to record: Free Online Screen Recorder with Webcam, No Installation

Is the tool always a child of workspace? In your script you have it check that before you make the prompt so the problem could be that is doesn’t have the workspace as its parent.

You forgot end after the isActive == false statement.

local tool = script.Parent
local handle = tool:WaitForChild("Handle")
local currentProx
local backpack

local isActive = false --debounce

if tool.Parent == workspace then
    local proxprompt = Instance.new("ProximityPrompt")
    proxprompt.Name = "Interact"
    proxprompt.KeyboardKeyCode = Enum.KeyCode.E
    proxprompt.ActionText = "Pick up"
    proxprompt.HoldDurnation = .3
    proxprompt.Parent = handle

    currentProx = handle:WaitForChild("Interact")
end

currentProx.Triggered:Connect(function(Plr)
    if isActive == false then
        isActive = true
        backpack = Plr:WaitForChild("Backpack")
        tool.Parent = backpack
        currentProx = nil
        proxprompt:Destroy()
        wait(2)
        isActive = false
end
end)

Try this code.
