Proximityprompt opening gui issue?

Asked Jun 11, 2022140 views2 answers

I made a thing in my roblox game where if you trigger a proximity prompt a gui should be enabled and you cant jump, but when I trigger the proximity prompt it doesnt show up and i can still jump is this an issue with how i active the proximity prompt or am I doing something else incorrectly?

this is my code

proximityPrompt = game.Workspace.pizzadougharea.CuttingBoard:WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt")
timingGUI = game.StarterGui.doughtiming

players = game:GetService("Players")
starterPlayer = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")
local userInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")

proximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
	timingGUI.Enabled = true
	starterPlayer.CharacterJumpHeight = 0
	
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
		print("player pressed space")
		timingGUI.Enabled = false
	end	
	
end)

StarterGui is where gui gets transferred into every player's playergui when the game starts, so you can't use game.StarterGui on the client. You should've instead referenced the localplayer's gui. Also, that's not how you detect a key press.

enabled = false
proximityPrompt = game.Workspace.pizzadougharea.CuttingBoard:WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt")
timingGUI = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.doughtiming

players = game:GetService("Players")
starterPlayer = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")
local userInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")

proximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
	enabled = true	
    timingGUI.Enabled = true
    starterPlayer.CharacterJumpHeight = 0

end)
userInput.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
		if enabled == true then
		 	print("player pressed space")
        	timingGUI.Enabled = false
		end
	end
end)

    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
        if enabled == true then
            print("player pressed space")
            timingGUI.Enabled = false
        end
    end
end)
