Proximity promt script not working (SCRIPT)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

hello im trying to make a door but when the player opens the door they get shot.

i added a proximity promt and i put a local script inside it with script

-imporant note:
this is a script
-this is inside the proximity promt
-the gunshot is inside the door part
-nothing prints when i trigger it.

script:

local ui = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:WaitForChild('PlayerGui'):WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):WaitForChild("Die")

local menu = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:WaitForChild('PlayerGui'):WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):WaitForChild("Menu")

script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function(plr)

print("hit")

script.Parent.Gunshot:Play()

ui.Visible = true

wait(0.5)

menu.Visible = true

print("everything good")

plr:WaitForChild("Character").Health = 0

print("HOPE")

end)

I think that Local Scripts cannot run inside a Proximity Prompts.

Are you running a local script in workspace, or are my eyes deceiving me?

script:

script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function(plr)

     local ui = plr:WaitForChild('PlayerGui'):WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):WaitForChild("Die")
     local menu = plr:WaitForChild('PlayerGui'):WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):WaitForChild("Menu")

     print("hit")

     script.Parent.Gunshot:Play()

     ui.Visible = true

     wait(0.5)

     menu.Visible = true

     print("everything good")

     local character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
     local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

     humanoid.Health = 0
     print("HOPE")

No problem, my pleasure. char(30)

#10

by the way how would i play a sound while the player is holding the interact prompt? (so like vault door opening sounds or something)

You can use the PromptButtonHoldBegan event.

It will run once you will interact.
