Are you able to use Hash maps in Roblox?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I was trying to optimize a script for cloning tools by using a pseudo-try of hashmap, but it isn’t working it’s not cloning the tools, but if I make it by making individual fors it does work, I don’t know if there’s an error in my logic, there’s nothing in console.

Do I have to use any remote events?

If I’m reading this right, couldn’t you use a dictionary?
