I want, when player use proximity prompt the gui changes its text but it’s not working.

local proximity1 = game.Workspace.BloomCharmixPin.Sphere.ProximityPrompt
local proximity2 = game.Workspace.StellaCharmixPin.default.ProximityPrompt
local proximity3 = game.Workspace.FloraCharmixPin.default.ProximityPrompt
local gui = script.Parent

proximity1.TriggerEnded:Connect(function()
	gui.Text += 6
	proximity1.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end)

proximity2.TriggerEnded:Connect(function()
	gui.Text += 1
	proximity2.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end)

proximity3.TriggerEnded:Connect(function()
	gui.Text += 1
	proximity3.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end)

heres a updated version because you made so many mistakes.

task.wait(1)
local proximity1 = game.Workspace.BloomCharmixPin.Sphere.ProximityPrompt
local proximity2 = game.Workspace.StellaCharmixPin.default.ProximityPrompt
local proximity3 = game.Workspace.FloraCharmixPin.default.ProximityPrompt
local gui = script.Parent

proximity1.TriggerEnded:Connect(function()
	gui.Text = tostring(tonumber(gui.Text + 6))
	proximity1.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end)

proximity2.TriggerEnded:Connect(function()
	gui.Text = tostring(tonumber(gui.Text + 1)
	proximity2.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end)

proximity3.TriggerEnded:Connect(function()
	gui.Text = tostring(tonumber(gui.Text + 1))
	proximity3.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end)

Text is a string. You cannot perform arithmetic on a string. Use tonumber()

It is not working in my script. My script worked when I only put one proximityprompt. Would it be better to separate it to 3 scripts?

#7

yes its better, when the script gets error all of them will stop working

#8

or maybe it’s by event. Is there another event I could use for it?

#9

There is the problem because if I collect one then next is not working.

#10

change the scripts.i think your old one is still working.
like your second prompt does the proximityprompt1 event.

#11

it has to be problem with variables.

#12

I changes names of them and still nothing. Is taht a reason if prompt has 3 sec.

#13

did you cloned this script to every prompt?

proximity prompt1:

local proximity1 = game.Workspace.BloomCharmixPin.Sphere.ProximityPrompt
local gui = script.Parent

proximity1.TriggerEnded:Connect(function()
	gui.Text = tonumber(gui.Text) + 6
	proximity1.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end)

proximity prompt 2:

local proximity2 = game.Workspace.StellaCgarmixPin.default.ProximityPrompt
local gui = script.Parent

proximity2.TriggerEnded:Connect(function()
	gui.Text = tonumber(gui.Text) + 1
	proximity1.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end)

proximity prompt 3:

local proximity3 = game.Workspace.FloraCharmixPin.default.ProximityPrompt
local gui = script.Parent

proximity3.TriggerEnded:Connect(function()
	gui.Text = tonumber(gui.Text) + 6
	proximity1.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end)

chance each prompts script to i gave you.

#14

Is the script a LocalScript or a server Script?

If it’s a LocalScript, then the issue might be that the other prompts aren’t loading in time, which would explain why the first prompt is working ok but not the rest

#15

Yes They are in Local. Should I use :WaitForChild?

#16

Yes, it’s recommended to use WaitForChild in LocalScripts since not all Instances will load in time before they are needed

#17

i replied wrong person i was gonna reply @TheCookieDragonPlays sorry about that :frowning:

Try replacing TriggerEnded with Triggered, since TriggerEnded is intended to be used with prompts that need to be held to activate
