Why doesnt localscripts work on proximity prompts?
doesnt work, really strange.
script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function()
print("Test")
end)
nothing outputs the local script is inside of the proximity prompt, i tried using remote events but when i do OnClientEvent (yes i called it through a regular script) nothing happens again. Its really frustrating. Nothing works

It's important to know that LocalScripts cannot run in workspace. Instead, you need to use a regular script and RemoteEvents.
For example, in the ProximityPrompt under workspace you would use a regular script with something like this:
script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function(plr)
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("RemoteEvent"):FireClient(plr)
end)
Note: You will need to have a RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage
Then in a LocalScript which I would put in StarterPlayerScripts you would write something like this:
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RemoteEvent").OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
-- Whatever you want to happen
print("ProximityPrompt triggered")
end)
Alternatively
You can just reference the proximity prompt from a LocalScript in StarterPlayerScripts (or another place where LocalScripts work)
This would look something like:
game.workspace.Part:WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt").Triggered:Connect(function()
-- Whatever you want to happen
print("ProximityPrompt triggered")
end)
