I’m actually trying to make a system where if you rightclick on a player, he gets the currently equipped item.
The problem is, that I can’t get rid of this error: “Backpack is not a valid member of Player”

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Backpack = player.Backpack
local Tool = Backpack.Tool
local mouse = player:GetMouse()


Tool.Equipped:Connect(function() 
	
	mouse.Button2Down:Connect(function()
		
		local MouseTarget = mouse.Target
		if mouse.Target:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		
			print(mouse.Parent)

end
end)
end)

Did you use this in LocalScripts
Local player only works in LocalScripts

Try to put a script in the tool instead

If you are using a LocalScript then, change

to

local Backpack = player:WaitForChild("Backpack")

I did, it still doesn’t work:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Tool = script.Parent
local mouse = player:GetMouse()


Tool.Equipped:Connect(function() 
	
	mouse.Button2Down:Connect(function()
		
		local MouseTarget = mouse.Target
		if mouse.Target:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		
			print(MouseTarget.Name)

end
end)
end)

You didn’t add the line I told you to add.

I completely removed the Backpack line. The localscript is inside of the Tool now, so I can just do script.parent

So what is your problem now? Show me your output.

I fixed it. Thank you though.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Tool = script.Parent
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local isEquipped = false

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	isEquipped = true
end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	isEquipped = false
end)


mouse.Button2Down:Connect(function()
	if isEquipped == true then
		local MouseTarget = mouse.Target
if MouseTarget ~= nil then
			print(MouseTarget)
			end
		
	end
end)

Backpack might not be available immediately when the script runs. Using WaitForChild might have solved the issue, but it looks like you figured it out anyway.

Use

local Backpack = player:WaitForChild("Backpack") or player.Backpack:Wait()

Edit : Oh, i didn’t notice that you fixed it already.
