My proximityprompt won't work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello!
I’m trying to make a E to pickup a tool but since my game uses proximity prompts i used a proximity prompt

the problem is it wont show up instead it just will sit there do nothing im not sure if its due to it being a tool i don’t get errors though

im stuck because its too specific

local tool = script.Parent
if tool.Parent == workspace then
	
	script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
		local backpack = Plr:WaitForChild("Backpack")
		tool.Parent = backpack
	end)
end

local tool = script.Parent
if tool.Parent == workspace then

why do you use tool.Parent for?

#3

Make sure u unAnchor the Tool …

#4

try this

local tool = script.Parent
if tool.Parent == workspace then
	
	script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
		local backpack = Plr:WaitForChild("Backpack")
		tool.Parent = backpack
	end
end)

i think it will work

#5

Why do you place this script into tool, it would be easier to make from Handle since that “Part” where Proximity Prompt UI will be placed

#6

You didn’t declare the “Plr”

script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(Plr)
		local backpack = Plr:WaitForChild("Backpack")
#7

You can’t parent a Proximity Prompt to a tool.
It HAS to be a part, model or an attachment. ProximityPrompt | Roblox Creator Documentation

and

Put the proximity prompt into the handle and it will show up.

#8 
local tool = script.Parent
script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(plr)
           if tool.Parent == workspace then

	tool.Parent = plr.Backpack
           end
end)

Try this

#9

Mine is right

like this when u make function u need to do this

proximity.Triggered:Connect(function()
if true then
    end
end) --- u need to put this on last cuz ur making function

Hi there, maybe you could try the API reference:

Anyways, when I make games with ProximityPrompts, I always copy the tool Handle and insert a ProximityPrompt into the handle, this leaves the handle of the tool in the workspace with a prompt that can be triggered.

I then make a folder in ServerStorage that I call Tools, and store every tool there.

I then end up with the following code:

local tool = script.Parent
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local Tools = ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("Tools")

local ProximityPrompt = tool.ProximityPrompt

ProximityPrompt.HoldDuration = .5
ProximityPrompt.ObjectText = "Pickup " .. tool.Name

ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
    local NewTool = Tools:FindFirstChild("Baseball Bat"):Clone()
    NewTool.Parent = player.Backpack
end)

Do you have proper line of sight with the proxy? / can you reach it to activate it in the first place, I had the same issue a while back.
