so i have this script where its suppose to open a Ui thats in the players uis. when i click the ProximityPrompt or press e it wont show the ui.

1script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function()
2    game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Shop.Frame.Visible = true
3end)

please help.

Instead of putting the script in the ProximityPrompt, put the script in the part. CoolBlueJay000 48 — 4y

And then change the 1st part to "script.Parent.PROXIMITYNAMEHERE.Triggered:Connect(function()" (Also sorry for the seperate messages, I pressed enter accidently.) If that doesn't work, try doing a script instead of a LocalScript and put an argument in the top part. Then change the code in the 2nd line to "local Clone = script.PUTURGUIHERE:Clone()", Clone.Parent = player.PlayerGui CoolBlueJay000 48 — 4y

Sorry for being bad at explaining, I tried my best ¯\_(?)_/¯ CoolBlueJay000 48 — 4y

PromptTriggered is not a valid member of ProximityPrompt "Workspace.shop man.Head.ProximityPrompt MrBloxyPixel 4 — 4y

you can easily do a server script for this because the triggered function has a player parameter

1script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
2    player.PlayerGui.Shop.Frame.Visible = true
3end)

As far as I can tell from testing your code and my own, one good way of going about this is through the use of RemoteEvents. First we will be creating a Remote Event and putting it in Replicated Storage. Then it is as simple as firing this event from a server script,(the location does not matter as long as the server script knows what you mean by proximity prompt)and creating a local script wherever it works(starterplayer, workspace, etc) and making the frame visible from there

1--Server Script
2 
3local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
4local ppEvent = rs:WaitForChild("PPEvent")
5 
6script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function()
7    ppEvent:FireAllClients()
8end)

01--Local Script
02 
03local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
04local ppEvent = rs:WaitForChild("PPEvent")
05local players = game:GetService("Players") --or game.Players
06local player = players.LocalPlayer
07local shopGui = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Shop")
08local frame = shopGui:WaitForChild("Frame")
09 
10ppEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
11    frame.Visible = true
12end)

Be sure to accept this as your answer if it, is the correct solution of course.
