How to Show ProximityPrompt Only When Holding an Item in Roblox

Creating an engaging experience in Roblox often involves adding interactive elements, such as ProximityPrompts. However, one common challenge developers face is controlling when these prompts appear. Specifically, you might want to show a ProximityPrompt on an NPC only when the player is holding a specific item. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of achieving that.

The Challenge

Imagine you're developing a game where players need to interact with non-playable characters (NPCs) only when they are holding certain items. By default, ProximityPrompts can be visible at all times, regardless of the player's current items. This can lead to confusion or unwanted interactions in your game.

So, how can you restrict the visibility of a ProximityPrompt to ensure it only appears when the player is holding an item? Let’s break down a solution.

The Solution

Overview

To show a ProximityPrompt on an NPC only when a specific tool is equipped, you'll need to write a script. This script will listen for when the player equips or unequips an item and then display or remove the ProximityPrompt accordingly.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Locate Your NPC: Start by identifying the NPC you want to attach the ProximityPrompt to. You need to know the NPC's name for the script to work.

Script Setup: Create a local script as a child of the tool you wish to monitor. The script will listen for equipment changes.

Implementation Logic: The following Lua code snippet demonstrates how to achieve this functionality:

Breaking Down the Code

Locate the NPC: The line local npc = Workspace:WaitForChild("NPC") waits for the NPC in the workspace. Replace "NPC" with your specific NPC's name.

Getting Position: The position of the NPC's HumanoidRootPart is fetched so that the ProximityPrompt can be displayed correctly.

ProximityPrompt Creation: When the tool is equipped, a new ProximityPrompt instance is created and configured with its position at the NPC.

Prompt Removal: When the tool is unequipped, the script searches for the ProximityPrompt and destroys it, ensuring that it does not remain visible when not needed.

Conclusion

By following the steps above, you can successfully control the visibility of a ProximityPrompt based on whether a player is holding a specific item. This not only enhances the user experience in your Roblox game but also encourages players to interact with NPCs in a more meaningful way.

With this knowledge, you're now equipped to add more interactivity to your game and build engaging experiences for players. Happy scripting in Roblox!
