Cloned tools not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So, I have this randomizer game in which you spawn in with random tools and when you get the tools they just break with no error code I have tried many solutions but they didn’t work, please help.

Cloning script:

local items = rep:FindFirstChild("Items")
local melee = items:FindFirstChild("Melee"):GetChildren()
local ranged = items:FindFirstChild("Ranged"):GetChildren()
local misc = items:FindFirstChild("Misc"):GetChildren()
local plrs = game:GetService("Players")
plrs.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		task.wait(2)
		local ran1 = melee[math.random(1, #melee)]:Clone()
		local ran2 = ranged[math.random(1, #ranged)]:Clone()
		local ran3 = misc[math.random(1, #misc)]:Clone()
		ran1.Parent = plr.Backpack
		ran2.Parent = plr.Backpack
		ran3.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end)
end)

Local Script (the tool)

local dmg = 50
local cdtime = 10
local range = 6
local hitboxtime = 0.5
local delayer = 0.75
--actual script stuff
local atk = false
local cd = false
local equipped = false
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = plr.CharacterAdded:Wait(2)
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local equip = script:FindFirstChild("equip")
local idle = script:FindFirstChild("idle")
local shoot = script:FindFirstChild("Animation")
local loader = hum:LoadAnimation(idle)
local equipload = hum:LoadAnimation(equip)
local load = hum:LoadAnimation(shoot)
print("hi")
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = true
	equipload:Play()
	loader:Play()
end)
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = false
	equipload:Stop()
	loader:Stop()
	load:Stop()
end)
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	if cd == false then
		cd = true
		load:Play()
		script:FindFirstChild("RemoteEvent"):FireServer(char, dmg,range, char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart"), hitboxtime, delayer)
		task.wait(cdtime)
		cd = false
	end
end)
while equipped == false do
	equipload:Stop()
	loader:Stop()
	load:Stop()
	task.wait()
end```

If you test the tools in the StarterPack do they work as expected?

3

Yes I did and which worked perfectly.

4

Also inside the clone script that I wrote in the topic I accidently put in the local script for the tool in it. I’m a little new to creating topics.

5

During play, when you look in your character/the tool, does the directory look as it should?

Is anything missing from the tool during play?

6

No, inside the scripts nothing has been deleted the remote events are still in and also everything else.

7

You said “but they didn’t work”.

What is not working?

8

Oh, the local script isn’t printing anything as there is a “print(“hi”)” which isn’t working which seems like it just broke.

9

The tool is unusable is what I’m trying to say.

10

I’m sorry if I’m really bad at explaining.

Try adding a few more print statements.

And change the FindFirstChild to WaitForChild:

local dmg = 50
local cdtime = 10
local range = 6
local hitboxtime = 0.5
local delayer = 0.75
--actual script stuff
local atk = false
local cd = false
local equipped = false
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = plr.CharacterAdded:Wait(2)
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local equip = script:FindFirstChild("equip")
local idle = script:FindFirstChild("idle")
local shoot = script:FindFirstChild("Animation")
local loader = hum:LoadAnimation(idle)
local equipload = hum:LoadAnimation(equip)
local load = hum:LoadAnimation(shoot)
print("hi")
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	print("equipped")
	equipped = true
	equipload:Play()
	loader:Play()
end)
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	print("unequipped")
	equipped = false
	equipload:Stop()
	loader:Stop()
	load:Stop()
end)
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	print("activated")
	if cd == false then
		cd = true
		load:Play()
		script:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent"):FireServer(char, dmg,range, char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart"), hitboxtime, delayer)
		task.wait(cdtime)
		cd = false
	end
end)
while equipped == false do
	equipload:Stop()
	loader:Stop()
	load:Stop()
	task.wait()
end

It didn’t work, do you have any other solutions?

13

Not at the moment, and I have somewhere I need to go.

Alright, thanks for the help. I’ll try to find a solution myself.

15

What script is the cloning script and where do you put it

16

Both scripts I put in are labeled at the top and I put it in ServerScriptService.

17

Try use local script for cloning and put it in startcharacter script

It unfortunately didn’t work. I tried moving it into replicated storage which worked but it had the same problem last time.
