Basically, I have disabled the backpack core gui, and so I’m using hum:equiptool to equip the tool, but when the tool isn’t in workspace, it doesn’t equip to my character, It just becomes visible and sits where it starts, and this also wont go to my character when the tool is anchored beforehand, for example, If the tool is anchored and then I unanchor and equip it to my humanoid, the tool just wont stick to the character and will do the same thing, become visible and sit there. Can anyone help me fix this? It’s not necessary to have a secret bunker of tools

You can parent the Tool to the player’s Character which should cause them to equip it as well
how about you move the tool to workspace just before you call Humanoid:EquipTool, and move it back to somewhere else just after calling the unequip function?
Weirdly, only equip tool works when the backpack is disabled, and it just stays in the same position.
I tried this and it done the exact same thing, just became visible and sat there, not in my hand, but when it is in workspace beforehand, somehow it works…
Are you using a server Script or a LocalScript to equip the Tool?
Localscript
[I hate the minimum word thingy]
I would suggest using a server Script to make the character equip the Tool. I’ll see if I can find a way to replicate your problem so I can test it too
Okay, thank you, and please tell me your results

During testing I’m noticing something important: Does your Tool have a handle? If it doesn’t then the character won’t hold out their hand even if the Tool is successfully equipped
Yes, it does indeed have a handle named “Handle”
I noticed that in the serverscript, even if it’s in replicated storage, parenting the tool to char actually does work.

I’m unable to replicate you issue when testing using a Tool that has a Handle, so I’ll need to see your current script if possible

It is trashProx.Triggered [---------------------]
I think I found the cause of the problem: When equipping a Tool within a LocalScript using Humanoid:EquipTool nothing seems to actually happen but when doing so within a server Script it works but only if the Tool is inside of workspace, not ReplicatedStorage
But if the tool is in workspace, then using equiptool with the local script works, right? It just can’t be anchored before hand, but instead cancollide true so it doesn’t fall into the void
I should have worded that reply better but what I meant was using the Humanoid:EquipTool function in a LocalScript doesn’t seem to actually do anything in the testing I did, it only worked when used inside of a server Script and the Tool was inside of workspace. I mentioned ReplicatedStorage because during testing I also tried storing the Tool inside of it but the function still didn’t work
Yes, I get that but it’s looks like you’re saying equipping it in a local script doesn’t work whatsoever, it works for me but the tool has to be in the workspace and can’t be anchored at all when the game starts
My bad, I accidentally left the server script enabled and it was interfering with the LocalScript’s result. Humanoid:EquipTool does work inside of LocalScripts so the issue is something else
I got good news actually because I’ve found a way to perfectly replicate the issue you’re experiencing, I’ll see if I can find a way to fix this
