The gravity coil doesn’t work when it’s given to player from a server storage, but when I put it in StarterPack it works. The game pass script works, and I think when the script moves cloned tool something happens it doesn’t work. (I use gravity coil from ToolBox)
I can add gravity coil script if necessary.

Try disabling and re-enabling the gravity coil script after parenting it to player, it may run while it is cloned and not moved to anywhere yet
If it doesn’t work then add the gravity coil script and the script that clones it

are you trying to access server storage from the client?
client sided scripts cant access serverstorage
if this is your case, consider replicatedstorage

It would help us if you gave us the script(s), so we can evaluate any possible problems.

Showing the script would definitely help; but some stuff to check would be:
- You clone it into the right place, in the player
- You do not use a localscript, as that cannot access storage.

Okay I tried from server-side script and it somehow worked.
Local Script
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
function onPromptPurchaseFinished(player, purchasedPassID, purchaseSuccess)
if purchaseSuccess and purchasedPassID == 000000000 then
game.ReplicatedStorage.GamePasses:FireServer("gravityCoil")
end
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptGamePassPurchase(game.Players.LocalPlayer, )
MarketplaceService.PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished:Connect(onPromptPurchaseFinished)
end)
Script
game.ReplicatedStorage.GamePasses.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, gamepass)
if gamepass == "gravityCoil" then
local tool = game.ServerStorage["Gravity Coil"]:Clone()
tool.Parent = plr.Backpack
end
end)
Didn’t you say that the gravity coil script didn’t work, when it was given to a player from Server Storage?
Did you change something from last time, that made this solution work?

Yes, I changed the whole script that clone the tool and it worked.
