Backpack is replaced upon spawning, instead of emptied

[Johnny_D3pp (Nik_REAL)]

The Backpack instance inside Player instance is recreated each time the player spawns, causing it’s connections to disconnect after player respawns

Examples:

-- This code won't function properly because the connection will be immediately disconnected when the player's character spawns
player.Backpack.ChildAdded:Connect(function()
    print("A new tool has been added.")
end)

-- This code will function properly, as it creates the connection when the character spawns
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
    player.Backpack.ChildAdded:Connect(function()
        print("A new tool has been added.")
    end)
end)

Expected behavior

Backpack should be emptied when player is about to respawn. Backpack should not be destroyed and recreated.

Thank you for the bug report.

It may be weird, but this is unfortunately just how the Backpack has always worked. Changing it is a possibility, but would have to be done very carefully, probably through a three phase rollout, in order to avoid breaking games that have relied on this since the beginning.

If you would like this behavior to change, please file a feature request.

Will do! Thank you for the reply!
