Alright everyone right now I have a slightly working inventory with stacks and it works perfectly fine but for mobile players there is a glitch where you cant eat or use the tools if you have a stack Ill show you what I mean.
Screen Recording 2023-10-07 at 2.25.35 PM.mov - Google Drive – the video
but it works perfectly fine when I use the computer keys to equip it.

local function handleEquip(tool)
	if tool.Parent == nil or tool.Parent == Backpack then
		Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(tool)
	elseif tool.Parent == Character then
		Character.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
	end
end

thats the line that is triggering the output for mobile

14:25:51.237  The Parent property of Cookie is locked, current parent: NULL, new parent DemonicPandazYT  -  Client - BackpackScript:30

try adding a task.wait() before equipping/unequipping the tool, my guess is that its trying to equip the tool too fast

There’s not enough information. I can only guess that you’re trying to do something with an instance that’s already destroyed.

#8

what info u need ill give it to u.

#9

i have a whole video and listed the script and line with the issue.

#10

For example, where does it call the function? All I know is that the tool is probably nil.

#11

ur talking about calling the function as in the output?

#12

Wherever you called the function with the tool parameter; handleEquip(nil)

#13 
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if gameProcessed then
		return
	end

	if KEY_DICTIONARY[input.KeyCode.Name] then
		local index = KEY_DICTIONARY[input.KeyCode.Name]
		local tool = items[index]

		if tool and not tool.Parent then
			for i, v in ipairs(stackedItems) do
				if tool.Name == v.Name then tool = v end
			end
		end

		if tool then
			handleEquip(tool)
		end
	end
end)
#14

should i give u the whole script though or is this enough? i call the function when its clicked or when a key is clicked.

#15

Just to confirm, equipping by clicking the gui will error, but not by pressing the key? Are both event using the same code?

#16

yes correct and yeah they are the same code.

#17

Can you send me that code if that is the code that leads to the error?

#18

do u want me to send you the entire code?

#19

If the code is connected to the tool then yes.

#20

alright ima just send you the whole test server then because everything in there is linked. hold on give me a sec.

#21

Is there anyone who can help me fix this issue?
