Proximity Prompts not visible if parents were copied from Replicated Storage

I have a free placement tycoon and I wanted to add proximity prompts to certain droppers to make them drop ores when activated. I’ve noticed some strange behavior as follows.

The Proximity Prompt is in the same location parented to a button which is parented to a model.

When the model is copied from the workspace it works no problem

When the model is copied from ReplicatedStorage back into the workspace it never appears to work correctly. This is regardless of if you insert the Proximity Prompt instance before or after copying the object and have it in position.

I even checked to make sure. They were the exact same object and the prompts themselves were enabled with the same properties. The only difference is where the model came from.

Can you please take a screenshot of the developer console for errors?

Since you mentioned you copied it from replicated storage, it would be helpful if you provided us some context ok who is attempting to clone the model, and who is attempting to do the proximity thing. Because let’s say a local script cloned the model, and puts it in workspace, then if it’s a server script doing the proximity prompt, it will not work because the client will not replicate the copied model to the server

The objects are all moved on the server. I have a hierarchy of folders inside ReplicatedStorage which the objects are inside and cloned into the workspace through the server.

The issue is that the prompt isn’t visible for unknown reasons.

The objects are identical. Maybe some error happened when cloning or setting the cframe of the object. However, no such error is written in output at those points.

I hope this helps. It is the exact same server side. Only difference is where it came from.

I think it also may have something to do with when you set the CFrame in code.

disable requires line of sight

Have you tried checking if the ProximityPrompt is enabled?

I was reading through this thread because I was having similar problems and this seemed to fix my issue, thanks
