Cat cloning multiple times

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, everybody as you could see in the title i am working on an inventory but the player can just spam the Equip button and get infinite cats how do I make it so the cat only clones one time.
Here is a video.


As you just saw in the brief video the cat clone several times, but I don’t that to happen. The clone() built-in function ran several unnecessary times. Here is the code.

Local Script
local Equip = script.Parent
local InvHandler = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.InventoryHandler 
local UpperInv = InvHandler.UpperInv
local MaxPetLimit = UpperInv.MaxPetLimit
local PetLimitText = MaxPetLimit.PetLimitText
local PetPreview = UpperInv.PetPreview
local PetPreviewFrame = PetPreview.PetPreviewFrame
local Im = PetPreviewFrame.PetPreviewImage
local TotalPets = PetLimitText.TotalPets
local invScroll = InvHandler.InventoryScrollBar
local checkC1 = invScroll.check1:Clone()
-- We just defined all the UI elements 

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

Equip.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	
	
	if Im.Image =="rbxassetid://7620353586" then -- if its the cat then show a picture of it 
		checkC1.Visible = true
		checkC1.Parent = invScroll:WaitForChild("PetForInvImCat")
		checkC1.Size = UDim2.new(0,75,0,75)

		

		local EquipPet = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("EquipPet") -- Remote event
		while EquipPet == nil do wait() end
		
		TotalPets.Value = TotalPets.Value + 1 -- Keeping track of how much pets are Equipped
		PetLimitText.Text = TotalPets.Value.."/5"
		if TotalPets.Value > 5 then
			PetLimitText.Text = "5/5"
			TotalPets.Value = 5 
			
		end
		
		local CatStatus = Instance.new("StringValue")
		CatStatus.Name = "CatStatus"
		CatStatus.Value = "Equipped" -- Status of the pet tells if the pet is Equipped or not(really not that helpful)
		CatStatus.Parent = PetLimitText 
		EquipPet:FireServer()-- Equip pet is the Remote event
	print("The Event Fired ")
	
		end

	end)
	
	

Server Script
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local EquipPet = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("EquipPet")


local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local BasicEggPetFolder = ReplicatedStorage.BasicEggPetFolder
local Cat = BasicEggPetFolder.Cat
local Dog = BasicEggPetFolder.Dog
local Mouse = BasicEggPetFolder.Mouse
local Dragon = BasicEggPetFolder.Dragon
local GrassyCat = BasicEggPetFolder.GrassyCat
local TeaMonster = BasicEggPetFolder.TeaMonster







EquipPet.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local char = player.Character
	local humRoot = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	local Cat = BasicEggPetFolder.Cat
	local Clo1 = Cat:Clone() -- when the player remote events runs we clone the cat in the player's char
	Clo1.Parent = char
	

	while true do 
		wait()
	Clo1:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(humRoot.CFrame * CFrame.new(2,2,2)) -- Postioning the pet
	end

	

	print(Clo1)
end)

I am just asking for the cat not to clone multiple times

Add an if statement here to make sure the amount of cats equipped is less than five before adding a new cat.

#3

Yeah, you just need to add a check whenever a player attempts to equip a pet that they currently have 4 or fewer pets equipped.

#4

Alright then I could run an If Statement to check if there is over 5 checks
