Proximity Prompt not triggering

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Hey guys ive been dealing with this issue for 2 days and idk what to do

The issue is that the prompt doesnt want to trigger at all, it just doesnt work, and this is INSIDE A MODULE SCRIPT!!!

Code:

local PlantModule = {}

--helper
local function setStageVisible(stageModel, visible)
	if not stageModel then return end 
	
	for _, obj in ipairs(stageModel:GetDescendants()) do 
		if obj:IsA("BasePart") then 
			obj.Transparency = visible and 0 or 1
			obj.CanCollide = visible
			obj.CanQuery = visible
		end
	end
end

-- GROWTH 
function PlantModule.Grow(Plant)
	
	print("growth started")
	
	local stage1 = Plant:FindFirstChild("Stage1")
	local stage2 = Plant:FindFirstChild("Stage2")
	local stage3 = Plant:FindFirstChild("Stage3")
	
	if not (stage1 and stage2 and stage3) then 
		warn("Missing stages in " .. Plant.Name)
		return
	end
	
	for _, obj in ipairs(stage3:GetDescendants()) do
		if obj:IsA("BasePart") then 
			obj.CanQuery = true 
			obj.CanCollide = true
			obj.CanTouch = true
		end
	end
	
	setStageVisible(stage1, false)
	setStageVisible(stage2, false)
	setStageVisible(stage3, false)
	
	setStageVisible(stage1, true)
	
	local growTime1 = Plant:GetAttribute("GrowTime1") or math.random(1, 3)
	local growTime2 = Plant:GetAttribute("GrowTime2") or math.random(3, 5)
	
	task.wait(growTime1)
	setStageVisible(stage2, true)
	
	task.wait(growTime2)
	setStageVisible(stage3, true)
	
	local part = stage3:WaitForChild("HarvestPart")
	if part then 
		local harvestPrompt = part:FindFirstChildOfClass("ProximityPrompt")
		if harvestPrompt then 
			harvestPrompt.Enabled = true
			print("prompt enabled")
		end
	end
end

-- HARVEST
function PlantModule.SetUpPrompt(Plant)
		
	local stage3 = Plant:FindFirstChild("Stage3")
	if not stage3 then 
		warn("No Stage3 in " .. Plant.Name)
		return 
	end
	
	
		
	local harvestPart = stage3:FindFirstChild("HarvestPart")
	if not harvestPart then 
		warn("No BasePart found in stage3 of " .. Plant.Name)
		return
	end
	
	harvestPart.Anchored = true
	harvestPart.CanQuery = true
	harvestPart.Transparency = 1

	-- prevent duplicates 
	--if harvestPart:FindFirstChildOfClass("ProximityPrompt") then return end 

	local harvestPrompt = Instance.new("ProximityPrompt")
	harvestPrompt.Name = "HarvestPrompt"
	harvestPrompt.ActionText = "Harvest"
	harvestPrompt.ObjectText = Plant:GetAttribute("FruitType") or "Plant"
	harvestPrompt.HoldDuration = 0
	harvestPrompt.MaxActivationDistance = 10
	harvestPrompt.RequiresLineOfSight = false
	harvestPrompt.Enabled = false
	harvestPrompt.Parent = harvestPart
		
	print("Prompt added to " .. harvestPart:GetFullName()) -- DEBUG
	print(harvestPrompt.Parent.Name)

	harvestPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
		--print("Prompt triggered by " ..  player.Name)
			
		local fruitType = Plant:GetAttribute("FruitType")
		if not fruitType then
			--warn("Missing FruitType attribute bruh")
			return 
		end
		
		--print("FruitType: ", fruitType)
		
		local inventory = player:FindFirstChild("Inventory")
		--print("Inventory: ", inventory)
		
		if not inventory then
			--warn("No inventory")
			return 
		end
		
		local fruit = inventory:FindFirstChild(fruitType)
		--print("Fruit found: ", fruit)
		if not fruit then 
			--warn("Missing fruit in inventory" .. fruitType)
			return
		end

		fruit.Value += 1
		Plant:Destroy()	
		
		--print("Harvesting was done right lol" ..  fruitType)
		
	end)
end
	
return PlantModule

Also this is where its being called, on SSS:

local plantModule = require(game.ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("Modules").PlantModule)

local plantsFolder = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Plants")

local function setupPlant(Plant)
	
	--start growth
	task.spawn(function()
		plantModule.Grow(Plant)
		print("Finished growing " ..  Plant.Name)
	end)
	
	-- setup harvesting
	plantModule.SetUpPrompt(Plant)
	print("prompt setup and harvested")
end

-- exisiting plants
for _, plant in ipairs(plantsFolder:GetChildren()) do 
	
	if plant:IsA("Model") then 
		setupPlant(plant)
	end
	print("plant model found")
end

-- new plants 
plantsFolder.ChildAdded:Connect(function(Plant)
	if Plant:IsA("Model") then 
		setupPlant(Plant)
	end
	print("plants added to folder")
end)

Could i get some help, ive tried almost everything!

Your SetStageVisible function is setting CanQuery to false for every part in Stage1 and Stage2. If HarvestPart is a descendant of Stage1 or Stage2, the prompt won’t work because the parts won’t be detectable. Check if your HarvestPart is actually inside Stage3 and not one of the other stages.

Yes harvest part is in stage3 with prompt inside of it, should i replace the canquery to true then?

You should probably check if the parts in Stage3 are being set to CanQuery = false by your setStageVisible function. If that’s the setup you’re describing, then yes, you change it to true, but it’'s likely your logic is just broken somewhere else.
