Proximity Prompt stops working after few uses

What is the issue?
Every Proximity Prompt in my place doesn’t work after a few uses. I have tried searching on the forum but nothing came for my problem.

I have no idea why is this happening.
Here is the script for the light proximity prompt switch.

local lighter = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Light.LightPart.SurfaceLight
local ON = true
local sfx = script.Parent.Parent.sfx

script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function()
	if ON then
		ON = false
		sfx:Play()
		lighter.Enabled = true
	elseif ON == false then
		ON = true
		sfx:Play()
		lighter.Enabled = false
	end
end)

The script for the door proximity prompt.

script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position = Vector3.new(303.379, 6.536, 164.728)
	player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("dark").Frame.Visible = true
	game.Workspace.open:Play()
	wait(0.8)
	game.Workspace.close:Play()
	player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("dark").Frame.Visible = false
end)

Yeah the scripts are kind of messy. I am not the best developer. And this is my first topic on the DevForum. I don’t really know what to write else.

Its very likely because you’re spamming it. Add a system which prevents users from spamming:

local lighter = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Light.LightPart.SurfaceLight
local ON = true
local sfx = script.Parent.Parent.sfx

script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function()
	if ON then
		ON = false
		sfx:Play()
		lighter.Enabled = true
script.Parent.Enabled = false
wait(2) -- change this value
script.Parent.Enabled = true

	elseif ON == false then

		ON = true
		sfx:Play()
		lighter.Enabled = false
script.Parent.Enabled = false
wait(2) -- change this value
script.Parent.Enabled = true
	end
end)

and for the door

script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position = Vector3.new(303.379, 6.536, 164.728)
	player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("dark").Frame.Visible = true
	game.Workspace.open:Play()

script.Parent.Enabled = false

	wait(0.8)
	game.Workspace.close:Play()
	player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("dark").Frame.Visible = false
script.Parent.Enabled = false
wait(2) -- change this value
script.Parent.Enabled = true
end)

I have added a cool down for the light and the door. They still do the same thing.

Have it print something every time you trigger it, and see if it prints

#5

Still the same thing. If the light or the door works it prints my word. But then after a few tries it just doesn’t work.

I don’t really see why this is happening. Are there any other scripts that may modify this or are there any free models with scripts?
