Proximity Prompt script not working after clone [Presumed as engine bug]

veavealove35 · April 8, 2025, 7:52pm

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
I want my script working
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
The script are not working
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I looked but it’s doesn’t what I’ve look into

I have generator script that placed inside generator model. When I run and test it’s works like normal but when I tried to put my generator model to another model or folder. The script are not working. This same as I tried to clone script to generator model too. The provlem is the script that detect Proximity Prompt triggered not working. But the print command i wrote in the first line of script works. Weird enough… I don’t know why. If you could help me it would be appreciated.

Can you paste the script here?

You probably should have waited to get on PC before creating a topic.

Screenshot_501
this is where the script placed The generator was placed on replicatedstorage and i make the script that enable generatorscript after that

here the code you asked kinda messy though

veavealove35 · April 9, 2025, 3:18am

first, i tested this when generatormodel placed on workspace it works but when i cloned it from storage to worksapce the script does not work but still print the first line print(“created generator script”) no errors

here the video the problem on 0:33

also the script inside the prompt

veavealove35 · April 9, 2025, 5:33am

Not a solution but i can make it work by make it trigger by anything without using proximity prompt
idk if that engine bug or not

matthman2019 · April 9, 2025, 8:57pm

Can you show me the scripts inside the proximityPrompts? If the proximityPrompts triggering are the problem, then the script(s) detecting their press is probably the issue.

Also, for future reference, you should use variables instead of using script.Parent:WaitForChild() or something like that every time. It will speed up your game. I turned some parts into variables in the following code as an example.

wait(5)
print("created generator script")
local Finished = false

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local roundTimer = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("RoundTimer")

local position1 = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Position1")
local position2 = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Position2")
local position3 = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Position3")
local generator = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Generator")

position1.ProximityPrompt.Enabled = true
position2.ProximityPrompt.Enabled = true
position3.ProximityPrompt.Enabled = true

position1.ProximityPrompt.Script.Enabled = true
position2.ProximityPrompt.Script.Enabled = true
position3.ProximityPrompt.Script.Enabled = true

script.Parent.RequestFixing.Event:Connect(function(plr, part)
	print("working on checking work")
	if plr.Character.Stats.Fix.Value == false and plr.Character.Stats.Downed.Value == false then
		if plr.Team == game.Teams.Survivors then
			local closedetected = false

			for i,otherplr in pairs(game.Teams.Survivors:GetPlayers()) do
				if otherplr.Character ~= nil then
					if otherplr.Character.Stats.Fix.Value == true then -- stats.fix is custom value for my game
						if (part.Position - otherplr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude <= 1 then
							closedetected = true
							print("not able to fix")
							break
						end
					end
				end
			end

			if not closedetected then
				print("able to fix")
				plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = part.CFrame
				plr.Character.Stats.Fix.Value = true
				generator.Interact:Play()
				plr.PlayerGui.GeneratorProgress.Frame.Object.Value = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Stats").Progress
				plr.PlayerGui.GeneratorProgress.Frame.RemoteObject.Value = script.Parent:WaitForChild("SuccessfullEvent")
			end
		end
	end
end)


script.Parent.SuccessfullEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plrwhofixed)
	if plrwhofixed.Character then
		if plrwhofixed.Team == game.Teams.Survivors then
			if plrwhofixed.Character:FindFirstChild("Stats").Fix.Value == true then
				script.Parent:WaitForChild("Stats").Progress.Value = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Stats").Progress.Value + plrwhofixed.Character:FindFirstChild("Stats").GeneratorProgress.Value
			end
		end
	end
end)

			if roundTimer.Time.Value > 120 then
				roundTimer.Time.Value = roundTimer.Time.Value - 30
			elseif roundTimer.Time.Value > 60 then
				roundTimer.Time.Value = roundTimer.Time.Value - 20
			elseif roundTimer.Time.Value > 0 then
				roundTimer.Time.Value = roundTimer.Time.Value - 10
			end
		end

		if script.Parent.Generator.Finished.IsPlaying == false then
			script.Parent.Generator.Finished:Play()
		end

		for i,otherplr in pairs(game.Teams.Survivors:GetPlayers()) do
			if otherplr.Character ~= nil then
				if otherplr.Character.Stats.Fix.Value == true then
					if (script.Parent.Position1.Position - otherplr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude <= 1 then
						--print("de")
