Yes, the code is inside a Local Script

Alright, do something like this:

ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
	RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
		-- Render code here
	end)
end)

i already tried that before but it still didn’t worked.

Is the proximityprompt and the RenderStepped working normally? You can check by printing

Yes both of them are working correctly

Then the problem might lies in your view model code

I heavily recommend the use of RunService:BindToRenderStep() as it adds more functionality (specifically :UnbindFromRenderStep()) and makes code much more readable

I don’t really see why the render step is necessary unless in missing something, but I would move everything inside the render step directly into the prompt triggered event and see if that works.

Viewmodels require to be set to the position of the camera every frame, because the camera isnt a physical object you cant just simply weld it to camera

Can you tell me more about View Model? I dunno what VMChair and ChairProp are

VMChair is the Viewmodel & ChairProp is just a Prop

Oops I must have missed that. Only the camera should be inside the loop since parenting, prompt disabling, and destroying the model don’t need to be in a loop.

Id suggest turning the code specifically (setting the cframe to camera) in this screenshot into its own function

After that make the proximity prompt do this

ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function)
     ProximityPrompt.Enabled = false
     -- Bind To RenderStep here
end)

Furthermore I feel like VMChair:PivotTo(Camera.CFrame) is better for Viewmodels

OK so i fixed the Problem, all i needed was a Remote Event that Fired a Local Script in StarterPlayerScripts…

Thanks Everyone for the Help!
