heyo, i want to know why my scripts can't work together lol. I have gears that require 5,10,15 wins and so on, and I also have a gear that is a secret you have to find. both of these have proximity prompts, but when I get a gear from one, I can't get one from the other. Can someone help? thanks.

celest glacier Jun 6, 2025, 2:29 AM

#

lua

#

its okay

#

i just needa know why i can only do one or the other

#

and not both

#

u want an example or

final epoch Jun 6, 2025, 2:29 AM

#

anyways

#

why your script is not working

#

idk

#

what are you trying to do?

celest glacier Jun 6, 2025, 2:31 AM

#

final epoch what are you trying to do?

basically i'm trying to make this script make a prompt so that the player can get a gear

#

the gear is in the right place and all

#

it works

final epoch Jun 6, 2025, 2:31 AM

#

ok cool

celest glacier Jun 6, 2025, 2:31 AM

#

but if I try to get any other glove it doesnt work anymore

#

i cant get the others again

#

even if i respawn

#

its one or the other, and its the same thing vice versa

#

its hard to explain

final epoch Jun 6, 2025, 2:32 AM

#

try printing some more I guess

celest glacier Jun 6, 2025, 2:33 AM

#

like what

final epoch Jun 6, 2025, 2:33 AM

#

do print(player:GetChildren())

#

when testing to see if things exist to it

#

#

it will bring up stuff like this in the output

#

good lock

#

luck

celest glacier Jun 6, 2025, 2:35 AM

ima be honest i suck at lua so much 😭

#
