Proximity Prompt not working

[Pumpasser]

This code works 50% percent of the time sometimes it does sometimes it doesn’t and it seems restarting the game fixes it.

It’s supposed to show a ScreenGui so would really appreciate it if anyone could help me.

local PromixyPrompt = game.Workspace.GunDealer.PromptPart.ProximityPrompt
local ProximityPromptService = game:GetService(“ProximityPromptService”)

PromixyPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
script.Parent.Enabled = true
script.Interact:Play()
end)

Here’s video showcasing the script not functioning

is it on the client side of the sever expmaple is the script icon white or blue

[Pumpasser]

Its a local script so client sided

[MrNobodyDev (Azlum)]

So it might be the promixty prompt hasn’t be replicated to the client i suggest to either addibg a task.wait(1) ir use :waitforchild but task.wait is better because it will not yeild

Task.wait must be at the top of the script

Hi!

Local scripts do not work in workspaces. Replace the local script with a script and copy the local script’s code to the script.

ProximityPrompt also has it’s Player variable in the triggered event. You can use the Player variable to show the ScreenGui or you could make a remote event that has it’s StarterPlayerScripts LocalScript and fire it when the proximity prompt is triggered.

Hope this helps! Bye!

The local script is inside of screengui

Can we see your explorer? Do you happen to have another object named ProximityPrompt in the PromptPart? There’s a possibility that you just duplicated the ProximityPrompt instance and the ProximityPrompt variable in your code is choosing one of the two, which would explain why it only works some of the times.

@MrNobodyDev might be correct, try something like this

local PromixyPrompt = workspace:WaitForChild("GunDealer"):WaitForChild("PromptPart"):WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt")
local ProximityPromptService = game:GetService(“ProximityPromptService”)

PromixyPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Enabled = true
	script.Interact:Play()
end)```
