Backpack stays completely empty

Hi,
My code gives the player items when they join. For some reason, my backpack stays completely empty as of testing.
Here’s what I have:

print("Started")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	print("1")
	local mss = game:GetService("MemoryStoreService")
	print("2")
	local data = mss:GetQueue(" "..tostring(plr.UserId), 30):ReadAsync(1)[1]
	print("3")
	if data ~= nil then
		print(data)
		print("4")
		for i, v in pairs(data) do
			print(tostring(v))
			print("\""..tostring(v).."\"")
			if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(tostring(v)) then
				print("Item found.")
				local item = game.Workspace[tostring(v)]:Clone()
				print("Item cloned.")
				item.Parent = plr.Backpack
				print("Item moved.")
				print(plr.Name)
			end
		end
	end
end)

In the console, it prints:

1
2
3
table: random numbers and letters
4
AlmondWater
"AlmondWater"
Item found.
Item cloned.
Item moved.

So everything is working, but nothing is actually in my backpack. What’s wrong?

Parent the tool in the backpack everytime their character spawns/loads.

i cant do it everytime, because then theyd have their items after they die and i dont really want that. would a wait(5) possibly work?

why not you put them on replicated storage and create a clon, and when is used, you just destroy it?

what…? (character limit eeeee)

Blud, why are u using workspace to store items

#7

its not that big of a deal bro

#8

It is. Either put them in serverstorage or replicated. Putting stuff thats meant to be cloned in workspace is a sin.

i dont understand why youre complaining about an item in a certain spot… but you do you… :+1: this conversation shouldnt even be happening

#10

thats that i said, but not just that. thats just a best practice, but test your game and notice if the item apears in your backpack trough the explorer.

probably you didnt put the item with a tool part. or something that phisically isnt allowing to show the item to you

its fine i solved it. i made it so it waits until the character loads, similar to what @NyrionDev said. thanks anyway
