Proximity Prompts have stopped working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am currently working on a game that relies on Proximity Prompts for interaction. All of a sudden, any new proximity prompts I create are not registering in the .Triggered event ProximityPromptService.PromptTriggered function. I have looked throughout the developer hub for help but nobody was experiencing my problem. I’ve tried copy-pasting the prompt scripts that worked on my past prompts without changing anything and the new one still didn’t function. I’ve also made it whenever the PromptTriggered function is triggered it prints the prompt that was triggered, and the new one doesn’t print when it is triggered. I don’t think adding my script here would be nessasary, but if you want me to post it just ask.

Are you cloning it into a new object/creating one everytime something is ran?

I create the new proximity prompt and script and put it in a part and have the script do

if prompt == script.Parent.UpPrompt then
--code
end

It’d still would be helpful to provide the script, it’s #help-and-feedback:scripting-support after all

It’s a bit long, pretty much an elevator door opening script

you can tell I copied my previous script because it have downarrow variables despite being an up button

I have decided to change my system so it no longer requires the new proximity prompt, but helping here would still help for any later proximity prompts

I now have a very short script for a new proximity prompt, and the script isn’t printing “Chair Prompt Triggered” into the console. It is printing “Chair Prompt Script” though

print("Chair Prompt Script")

script.Parent.FinalPoint.ChairPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
	print("Chair Prompt Triggered")
end)
