Material Detection Not Working

[brazen stirrup]

Hello, it is me again. I haven't scripted in a while and now I am slowly losing track of it. The script in question is that I am trying to make a part that kills you by default, but it can be toggled off with a ProximityPrompt. It shows no errors in the script, but it is not working and I do not know why. Here is the script that I made below.

local killCylinder = script.Parent

local interact = killCylinder:FindFirstChild("ProximityPrompt")

local function toggleCylinder()
    if killCylinder.Material == "Neon" then
        killCylinder.Material = "SmoothPlastic"
        killCylinder.Transparency = 0.5
    else
        killCylinder.Material = "Neon"
    end
end

interact.Triggered:Connect(toggleCylinder)```

does the problem still persist even if you used Enum.Material

[brazen stirrup]

nope

[potent kindle]

ok

What's not working exactly? The toggle or the kill-on-touch mechanic?

basically...

• I want is so that by default, the part is neon and will kill you but if you interact with proximityprompt, it will change into a "turned off" version that does not kill the player

I think I already solved the material issue

Do you have a script somewhere that already does the killing part?

[desert marlin]

yeah do you have a script that checks the part's material and does the killing part or not?

the porximity prompt might not be loaded in yet. i suggest use WaitForChild() instead of FindFirstChild()
