#1 
local char = script.Parent.Parent
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent.ProximityPrompt


ProximityPrompt.Triggered:connect(function(Player)
	if char.Vampire.Value == true then
		script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= 10
		ProximityPrompt.Enabled = false
	else
		ProximityPrompt.Enabled = true
		end
	end)

This is my script I am trying to damage the dummy on proximity prompt trigger but I dont know why its not working there are not even errors in the output
so if you know why pls tell me
Anyways have a good day.

#2

Is your script running in the first place? Put a print somewhere outside the .Triggered connection

#3

By not working, do you mean the prompt isnt even showing up? Or do you mean it does show up, but when you trigger it, it does nothing?

#4

yea it just does nothing when I trigger it

#5

mhm yea looks like it isnt even running because nothing gets printed in the output

#6

Then that’s probably your issue. Assuming you’re using a localscript, put it directly in your character instead of a child of your character.

#7

it still didn’t change anything

#8

Show me your hierarchy and your script with the print in it

#9

Don’t use LocalScripts to change health, as only one person would see the change in health, use a ServerScript to change health.

#10 
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character
local dummy = script.Parent
local hum = dummy:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent.ProximityPrompt

print("Hello")
ProximityPrompt.Triggered:connect(function(Player)
	if char.Vampire.Value == true then
		hum.Humanoid.Health -= 10
		ProximityPrompt.Enabled = false
	else
		ProximityPrompt.Enabled = true
	end
end)

What is your hierarchy? (Give us a screenshot of your explorer)

didnt know what you mean by hierarchy but this is the dummy (inside the local script is just a sound nothing important)

#13

Ah well there’s your problem. Local scripts only run when they’re inside of players, you have a one inside of a dummy. Replace it with a script.

#14

You really shouldn’t use Local Scripts for health changing, I can give some code but im on mobile so this might not work

local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent.ProximityPrompt

ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(Plr)
if Plr.Character.Vampire.Value then -- No need to add == true
script.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= 10
ProximityPrompt.Enabled = false
else
ProximityPrompt.Enabled = true
end
end)

I got it fixed now I just had a dumb mistake for myself sorry that I wasted your time still thanks for helping
