How in the heck do I get this proximity prompt to stop flickering last-second?

[proven trout]

Hi,

I have a local script with a prompt.Triggered event which fires a Remote Event to the server. In the server script is where the model with the proximity prompt is destroyed.

Nothing has worked except for adding task.wait(0.05) (not even task.wait() alone without a number does it). But, this doesn't seem right, there should be a better way that I am missing.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

my guess is that there's a small visual gap between the radius of the circle when your holding down the e where it's actually not filled up all the way but fires that it's been pressed anyways and continuing to hold it fills it up the rest of the way

[proven trout]

Yes, I think that is what is happening.

[sour oar]

task.wait should probably fix it tbh

That's more of a Roblox thing and not your fault

I'm assuming

If it's possible you could also maybe try to disable the prompt immediately after the event fires

I tried. task.wait() on server or client doesn't do a thing lol

[proven trout]

On server or client

[sour oar]

probably server idk

[proven trout]

it doesn't work

[teal turtle]

Probly client

[proven trout]

didn't work either

[proven trout]

I literally changed the entire system and it still does it

wtf

now the model is only deleted on the client side

where is the proximity prompt parented?

[clever flame]

setting parent to nil is almost the same as Destroying

[proven trout]

Yes, I've just been trying different things, nothing has worked.

It is parented to the model's primary part.

[clever flame]

oh i see

[clever flame]

after the proximity prompt is activated, destroy the model while preserving the prompt, disable it, then destroy

try that

[proven trout]

What do you mean by preserving the prompt excatly?

Parent it to something else? If so, what exactly?

Just for testing, I parented it to the player instance and it's even worse 😭

[clever flame]

adding a part to the original model position

like Instance.new("Part") with the same model position temporarily

[proven trout]

Something like this?

It seemed to have made the prompt flicker further away.

Is this because of the tween maybe?

The prompt doesn't follow the model when it's tweening maybe?

[clever flame]

you're still destroying it

i mean yes destroy it, but you arent doing it the way i thought

[proven trout]

What were you thinking?

wtf

changing the model's parent to nil instead of destroying it works

I just don't know why

[clever flame]

oh shoot really?

sick

then just destroy it after some time

[proven trout]

okay so here is what i'll probably stick with

It doesn't work without the task.wait() or .Parent = nil

[proven trout]

Thanks for your help, and the others!
