#14

it doesnt say what the error is?

just stack begin/end.

did you change player.backpack to player:WaitForChild(“backpack”) aswell?

#15

I’ll try that.

Here’s the whole error, sorry, the first part didn’t copy:

  20:17:07.813  Workspace.Model.Lemon.ProximityPrompt.GiveScript:6: attempt to index nil with 'Parent'  -  Server - GiveScript:6
  20:17:07.813  Stack Begin  -  Studio
  20:17:07.813  Script 'Workspace.Model.Lemon.ProximityPrompt.GiveScript', Line 6  -  Studio - GiveScript:6
  20:17:07.813  Stack End  -  Studio
#16

any change you are in team create in one of the studio’s and the script isnt commited yet?

#17

so it say the item you want to parent to the players backpack is nil, try printing the model

just do

warn(ItemClone)
#18

It returned “nil” even though the server AND the client both see it in replicated storage.

#19

Script doesn’t find tool in backpack
Similar post ^^^
Check it out : Their solution - I moved the script from StarterPlayerScripts to StarterGui and it is now working…
Also make sure the object was made in a server script because if it is on client the server won’t find it.

#20

Archivable is activated? must be true if the object can be cloned.

Huh… I see you’re using a proximity prompt in your error code. In this case, what is script.Parent? Is it a proximity prompt?

#22

his script is inside a proximity promt in the workspace not the tool itself

#23 
script.Parent = player.Backpack
#25

The script is inside the backpack? Edit: Also, what is the thing that is being triggered to activate this script?

#26

I’m not holding the tool? What are you talking about?

#27

the tool is inside replicated storage so the player cant equip the tool. since all tools comming from there are cloned and not the original

#28

No. The script is not inside the backpack.

#29

the trigger is a proximityPromt

#30

Wait, so I have to set it to false for it to work?

#31

Yeah, that’s what I thought. I think you might have to use ProximityPrompt service.

#32

could be, but the weird thing is. it works in one studio but not in the other.

#33

That’s the issue, the exact same script worked in a different game. Why would that be necessary?

#34

Yeah, I don’t understand that part.
