Using a StarterCharacter prevents ClickDetectors working

[MarkNoVanity]

So I was observing my game using Click detectors and have stumbled upon an issue I need fixed.

What is the issue? When I use my Roblox avatar character, I can use ClickDetectors But when I use a StarterCharacter I can’t use it.

What solutions have you tried so far? I have tried increasing the MaxActivationDistance but no effect is shown. (I cant set it too high as people could interact if somewhat large distances). I couldn’t seem to find anything on Devforum at the same time.

I got no clue why this even needs to happen but any help on the subject would help.

I just tried this out with a custom starter character from the toolbox, and the click detector works just fine. I recommend that you use ProximityPrompt’s instead if the problem persists.

My door system already has Proximity prompts and i dont want to have too many of them

this is currently happening to me aswell, I have never seen this be4 and its only happening with some click detectors? lmk if you find a fix.

maybe your custom character mesh block your camera view, try to set camera.CFrame to a fake camera infront of the head of the custom character then make the fakecamera transparent

You must set the PrimaryPart on the startercharacter

My god how did I not see that! I’ll make sure to do this in the future
