The script is not activated after the ProximityPrompt trigger

Hello everyone! I wanted to create a mini test function to add addiction. But for some reason I used it
ProximityPrompt local script did not work.

LocalScript (ProximityPrompt):

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Boost = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteBoost")
local ProximityPrompt = game.Workspace.TestBoost.ProximityPrompt

function boost(player)
	Boost:FireServer()
end
ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(boost)

ServerScriptService Script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteBoost")

 function Boost(Player)
	local DislikesBoost = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("DislikesBoost")
	
	DislikesBoost.Value += 0.5
end
remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(Boost)

Where did I make a mistake? :thinking:

#2

ProximityPrompt.Triggered doesn’t work on local scripts.

#3

Oh, how do I make FireServer () if this function only works on local script?

#4

Is there a specific reason you want to do that locally, you can call ProximityPrompts from the server and ignore the remote events entirely

#5

You can’t use Proximity on local script, you can use FireClient to fire event on Script and use OnClientEvent to trigger the Fire Event in Local Script

#6

Im not gonna explain everything. But in server-side scripts, (which as just called “Script”), ProximityPrompt.Triggered event gives out a parameter which is the player that triggered the prompt’s instance. With this you can modify the player’s stats without having to use remote events.

So the server-side script should look like this:

function Boost(Player)
	local DislikesBoost = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("DislikesBoost")
	
	DislikesBoost.Value += 0.5
end
script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(boost)

(btw you cannot globally edit Values using local script so you can’t give yourself cash by only using a local script, only Scripts can give you cash)
