i have a model with a proximity prompt, it gets copied from replicated storage and gets put in workspace, but i when i try to use the proximity prompt the script that handles it doesn’t print anything or do anything
script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function()
if script.Parent.ActionText == "Open" then
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui["Door Menu"].Visible = true
else
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui["Door Menu"].Visible = false
end
end)
have you checked if the ActionText is “Open” while playing?
yes, i trying adding a print() to the start of the function and it didnt print anything
Then try making a RemoteEvent and put in the ReplicatedStorage and then fire the client
Is the Proxyprompt Enabled, also do you have MaxActivationDistance set to 0?
the issue isnt with the proximity prompt its with the code
I think it is because you are trying to run a local script inside of the workspace.
Local scripts only run on client environments, I assume this is a local script because you are using the .LocalPlayer object.
Solution: move the script to PlayerGui along with the door you’re using.
i dont know how i would do that, because i have a building system down and you can place multiple doors/objects
Make a dedicated local script for the doors, and take advantage of a remote event from the server by using something like this;
server
prompt:Triggered:Connect(function(playerWhoTriggered)
someRemoteEvent:FireClient(playerWhoTriggered)
end)
client
someRemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
-- toggle the gui here
end)
It’s because you can’t use “OnClientEvent” in a serverscript, it has to be in a localscript. ^^
nop it doesnt work, idk if i did anything wrong with my code:
game.ReplicatedStorage.DoorOpen.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
print("yay")
script.Parent.Visible = true
end)
script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function(playerWhoTriggered)
print("ok")
game.ReplicatedStorage.DoorOpen:FireClient(playerWhoTriggered)
end)
Where is the client/first script located?
The script inside the first image needs to be a normal script.
This should solve your problem.
Okay, I made a script which will instead of having a script inside of each individual door loop through your DoorsFolder in workspace (if you have one, if not then it’s better to just make one).
This will fire once the player loads in and everytime a new child is added to your DoorsFolder. You can put this in a LocalScript in StarterPlayerScripts.
- open gui
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local DoorsFolder = workspace:FindFirstChild("DoorsFolder")
local Debounce = false
repeat task.wait() until Player.Character
function DoorProximityPromptFunction()
for _,DoorProximityPrompt in DoorsFolder:GetDescendants() do
if DoorProximityPrompt:IsA("ProximityPrompt") then
DoorProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
if not Debounce then
Debounce = true
if DoorProximityPrompt.ActionText == "Open" then
DoorProximityPrompt.ActionText = "Close"
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui["Door Menu"].Visible = true
else
DoorProximityPrompt.ActionText = "Open"
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui["Door Menu"].Visible = false
end
task.wait()
Debounce = false
end
end)
end
end
end
DoorProximityPromptFunction()
DoorsFolder.ChildAdded:Connect(function()
DoorProximityPromptFunction()
end)
This will not only open GUI but will also change ActionText between Open and Close, you can change this however you want.
after using the proximity prompt the prints dont print anything.
Is it the correct folder name?
It’s supposed to be OnClientEvent, and FireClient()
