Hello everyone I am working on something that’s like a metal detector for my game it can check if someone has a certain tool in their backpack but if they have it equipped it does not detect it here is my code can someone please help me.

local Tools = {"M9 Berreta","M16","AK47","Knife"}
local sound = script.Sounds
local Sound = script.Sound
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer


script.Parent.Parent.invis.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

	if Player then
		local found = false

		for i, tool in ipairs(Tools) do
			if Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(tool) then
				found = true
			end
		end

		if found then
			script.Parent.Parent.Clear.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)
			if not Sound.IsPlaying then
				Sound:Play()
			end
		else
			script.Parent.Parent.Clear.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 0)
			if not sound.IsPlaying then
				sound:Play()
			end
		end
	end
end)

Is there any errors? What specifically doesn’t work?

not at all. if you see the else statement the light just turns green and the sound plays

Whenever you equip a tool, it is parented to the player’s character. You can just check to see if it’s there.

Example code:

if Player.Character:FindFirstChild(tool) then
    print("Tool found.")
end
