Please share how children are added into the backpack and what environment this script is running in.

the create tool function is being called for each item in the inventory table
Oh, also, the module script is in serverstorage, the childadded in InventoryGUI and other scripts are in serverscriptservice

Please share how you defined the Backpack Variable.

It happens because the backpack is recreated every time the character respawns.

This was the best approach I’ve found:
local function SetupBackpack(backpack)
backpack.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
print('Child Added:', child)
end)
end
local backpack = character:WaitForChild('Backpack')
SetupBackpack(backpack)
character.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
if (child:IsA('Backpack')) then
SetupBackpack(child)
end
end)

It’s not working even if I don’t reset, though

I was trying to inquire whether OP followed this. However, thank you for sharing the information.

Please share the rest of the script.

That’s the entire script, pretty much
How do you define Backpack? Please share if any part of the script is left out, especially the declaration.
Backpack is still not defined. Do you mind copy-pasting the entire script?
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local InventoryGUI = player.PlayerGui.InventoryGUI
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Values = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Tools")
local function SetupBackpack(backpack)
print('setting up slots')
backpack.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
local toolAssociatedWithChild = Values:WaitForChild(child.Name)
if toolAssociatedWithChild then
local slots = InventoryGUI.Frame:GetChildren()
for i, v in pairs(slots) do
if v.Name == "empty" then
if child.Name == "Fire" then
print("Fire button is being created")
v.Name = "Fire"
v:WaitForChild("ImageButton").Image = "rbxasset://7342041017"
v:WaitForChild("ImageButton").Visible = true
print('done')
end
else
print("Slot not empty!")
end
end
end
end)
end
local backpack = player.Character:WaitForChild('Backpack')
SetupBackpack(backpack)
player.Character.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
if (child:IsA('Backpack')) then
SetupBackpack(child)
end
end)
--changed the script with @GAFFAL_1236's answer
Please ensure: the Reset on Spawn property of the InventoryGUI is not turned on. Please check and let me know.
Edit: Also, a local script cannot read from ServerStorage, consider moving “Values” to ReplicatedStorage.
It’s still not working, I’ve unchecked the reset on spawn property and moved the folder to replicatedstorage
Please share an the updated script and an image of your object hierarchy. Thank you.
Script
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local InventoryGUI = player.PlayerGui.InventoryGUI
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Values = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Tools")
local function SetupBackpack(backpack)
print('setting up slots')
backpack.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
local toolAssociatedWithChild = Values:WaitForChild(child.Name)
if toolAssociatedWithChild then
local slots = InventoryGUI.Frame:GetChildren()
for i, v in pairs(slots) do
if v.Name == "empty" then
if child.Name == "Fire" then
print("Fire button is being created")
v.Name = "Fire"
v:WaitForChild("ImageButton").Image = "rbxasset://7342041017"
v:WaitForChild("ImageButton").Visible = true
print('done')
end
else
print("Slot not empty!")
end
end
end
end)
end
local backpack = player.Character:WaitForChild('Backpack')
SetupBackpack(backpack)
player.Character.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
if (child:IsA('Backpack')) then
SetupBackpack(child)
end
end)
Object hierarchy
I might be saying wrong but isn’t the Backpack supposed to be inside the player rather than the character? If you added a backpack inside the character then alright…
Sorry for being late, but now it adds the same tool in 5 slots
edit: you solved it anyway
