can someone just teach me how they work
#proximity prompts
pseudo marlin
crystal viper
Have you read this yet? https://create.roblox.com/docs/ui/proximity-prompts
pseudo marlin
nope thanks
cold pawn
pseudo marlin
i didnt know abt it
is this set up right?
because it isnt working
this is the localscript i made just to test it
cold pawn
cant use a local script if its not in the player's character or in the player
pseudo marlin
alright
its just destroying it straight away
how can i make it only happen when the prompt is triggered
cold pawn
theres an example on how to code proximity prompts at the bottom of the documentation page that was sent here
pseudo marlin
it only gives an example of how to do it through the global proximitypromptservice
cold pawn
just replace proximitypromptservice with your proximity prompt and it works pretty sure
crystal viper
theres no PromptTriggered event
Are you sure? Try continuing to type it
sour light
theres no PromptTriggered event
It only works client sided
But if you want everyone to see the changes. Hook up that event to a remote
And have a server script listen and then delete the bush
crystal viper
Did you mean deleting the bush only works client sided? not the prompt itself?
cold pawn
yeah
sour light
Did you mean *deleting the bush* only works client sided? not the prompt itself?
I meant the PromptTriggered
crystal viper
The prompt absolutely works across the boundary
cold pawn
95% of my proximity prompts in my game are server sided
pseudo marlin
Are you *sure*? Try continuing to type it
so what do i do
should i just use the proximitypromptservice
crystal viper
so what do i do
Oh sorry, try Triggered not PromptTriggered
pseudo marlin
yeah that works thanks
however the bush is still just deleting itself straight away
crystal viper
Oh! Sorry. That event is from ProximityPromptService which is a more global way of handling prompts.
sour light
Oh sorry, try `Triggered` not `PromptTriggered`
Ohh
Yeah that’s server sided my fault
pseudo marlin
however the bush is still just deleting itself straight away
i assume this code is wrong somehow
sour light
I forgot `ProximityPromptService` was a thing
I didn’t know that was a thing
crystal viper
i assume this code is wrong somehow
Yes it's wrong
You have to pass a function into Connect. You're instead passing what Destroy() returns (which is nothing I think)
You can do something like
proximityprompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
bush:Destroy()
end)
instead, where we give it the function we want to run, and you destroy the bush inside that function
pseudo marlin
alright i had a feeling it would be something like that
crystal viper
I didn’t know that was a thing
I think it's meant to make it so you don't have to connect to every individual prompt, you can access it more globally.

pseudo marlin
(the spider is the player model) it still dont work
crystal viper
(the spider is the player model) it still dont work
So you're not seeing the prompt?
pseudo marlin
yep
hollow hornetBOT
** You are now Level 8! **
crystal viper
it didnt fix it
What's the MaxActivationDistance? Did you try increasing that?
crystal viper
ill make it 100
If not that try parenting the prompt onto a part rather than the model itself
pseudo marlin
alright
yep that worked
thanks
this is a script which sets a score, and i wanna make it so the food variable increases when i eat the bush, im guessing im gonna have to rewrite this script somehow but how can i do this?
crystal viper
this is a script which sets a score, and i wanna make it so the food variable in...
Well let the server handle the Triggered event.
When that is triggered (doing some sanity checks to ensure the player can actually eat it), add the food value to their leaderstats.
Triggered event does give you the player who triggered the event
proximityprompt.Triggered:Connect(function(playerWhoTriggered)
playerWhoTriggered.leaderstats.food.Value += 1
end)
for example
pseudo marlin
so how do i get the playerWhoTriggered
crystal viper
so how do i get the playerWhoTriggered
Some events automatically pass variables to the function that's connected. Triggered automatically passes playerWhoTriggered into the function for you. That's why it's a parameter in my example
pseudo marlin
ohh alright thats useful
thats so much easier than i thought itd be
thanks a lot
crystal viper
thanks a lot
No problem!
pseudo marlin
is there any way to customise the actual interact button?
like not which button u press and what text it displays
like could i draw it myself and use it
crystal viper
like could i draw it myself and use it
I believe there is, but that's a little more complex. It's 100% possible, though.
Maybe someone else here can help you with that, otherwise there are probably YouTube videos for custom ProximityPrompts
pseudo marlin
(the spider is the player model) it still dont work
@here sorry for the ping idk if i shld just make a new post but i wanna make a part which creates a new instance of this bush if there isnt currently one there, every 30s for example
the pictures i added show how its all set up right now, i just dont know where to go in that script
