  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Tried to look it up in dev forum but no similar issue

here’s the script

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local datafolder = player:WaitForChild("PlayerDataFolder")
local Inventory = datafolder.Inventory
local itemname = script.Parent.Parent.Name
local item = Inventory[itemname]

local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.Items.WeaponRemotes.Equip



script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function(player)
	
	if item.Value > 0 then
		if not player.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool") then
			remote:FireServer(itemname)
		end
	end
end)

there

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local datafolder = player:WaitForChild("PlayerDataFolder")
local Inventory = datafolder.Inventory
local itemname = script.Parent.Parent.Name
local item = Inventory[itemname]

local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.Items.WeaponRemotes.Equip
local character = player.Character

if not character or not character.Parent then
	character = player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
end


script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function(player)

	if item.Value > 0 then
		if not character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") then
			remote:FireServer(itemname)
		end
	end
end)

The parameter for MouseButton1Up is the location of the mouse. Simply remove the player parameter and your issue will be solved

there could be a problem getting the character, make sure to add like a “wait” system for the character.
