Proximity Prompt Trigger not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Some Context:

I’m currently facing an issue with my ProximityPrompt not triggering I have a lever system where a lever is spawned at a random location within a room. When a player interacts with the lever, it should move and rotate. However, despite the ProximityPrompt appearing, it doesn’t trigger the interaction.

Here is the script I’m using for the lever interaction:

local lever = {}

function lever.Interact(prompt, leverClone)
	print("Lever is pulled")
	prompt.Enabled = false
end

function lever.Spawn(room)
	local LeverClone = workspace.itemsNotTools.VentLever:Clone()
	local leverFolder = room.Build:WaitForChild("LeverSpawns")
	local spawnPoints = leverFolder:GetChildren()

	if #spawnPoints > 0 then
		local randomSpawn = spawnPoints[math.random(1, #spawnPoints)]
		LeverClone:PivotTo(randomSpawn.CFrame)
		LeverClone.Parent = room

		local prompt = Instance.new("ProximityPrompt")
		prompt.ActionText = "Pull Lever"
		prompt.MaxActivationDistance = 5
		prompt.Style = Enum.ProximityPromptStyle.Custom
		prompt.RequiresLineOfSight = false
		prompt.Parent = randomSpawn
		
		prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
			print("Lever flicked by ", player.Name)
			lever.Interact(prompt, LeverClone)
		end)
	end
end

return lever

Despite the ProximityPrompt being visible and seemingly functional, the prompt.Triggered event does not fire when I interact with it.

I think its because your lever.spawn() is not called, the prompt scope is wrong, or you disable the prompt to early.

I have called the lever.spawn() in a different module, the lever does spawn but the triggered part doesn’t work. And the print line in the triggered function doesn’t get printed so for some reason it doesn’t detect that a player has triggered it.

this is your code, but without the randomising. Try and see maybe what’s wrong.

local lever = {}
local prompt

function lever.Interact(prompt, leverClone)
	print("Lever is pulled")
	prompt.Enabled = false
end

function lever.Spawn()
		prompt = Instance.new("ProximityPrompt")
		prompt.ActionText = "Pull Lever"
		prompt.MaxActivationDistance = 5
		prompt.Style = Enum.ProximityPromptStyle.Default
		prompt.RequiresLineOfSight = false
		prompt.Parent = script.Parent
		
	prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
		print("Lever flicked by ", player.Name)
		lever.Interact(prompt, script.Parent)
	end)
end



lever.Spawn()

return lever

(Btw this works Ive tested it.)

It works, but I believe I found the issue, the actual prompt for some reason was cloning onto the original lever instead of the clone and it worked when I triggered the prompt on the original.

Thank you for your help though. I appreciate it.
