Cloning tool on server script only doing it on the client?

im trying to make it so when you get a certain amount of kills it gives you a tool, but when cloning it from a server script its only doing it on the client

the tool is showing in my backpack but on the server its not showing

Server script:

local Shar2 = game.ReplicatedStorage.Sharingan2

game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.GiveShar2.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Sharingan1") then
		player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Sharingan1"):Destroy()
		local CloneShar2 = Shar2:Clone()
		CloneShar2.Parent = player.Backpack
	end
end)

Client Script:

_G.AlreadyGiven = false

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent)

	if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Sharingan1") then
		_G.AlreadyGiven = false
	end

	if player:WaitForChild("SharinganKills").Value >= 25 then
		if not _G.AlreadyGiven then
			_G.AlreadyGiven = true
			game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.GiveShar2:FireServer()
		end
	end
end)

ive tried everything to get it working, it always clones it on the client for some reason, no matter what i do

What exactly do you mean its in your backpack but not in the server
Is it visualy or did you mean it otherwise.

#3

i meant like its showing in my backpack on the client, but not on the server
its cloning on the client even though im doing it on a server script with a remote event

#4

Can you add some images of this error. As im still baffled by “It not showing up on the server” having an image would help me better detect the issue

#5

Did you mean when you switch to server it cant find the object or something like that?

#6

On the client script don’t use RunService to check the value, use GetPropertyChangedSignal instead.

#7

image
its showing in my backpack on the client, just not on the server
image

#8

Does it also not apear in players backpack when unequiped?
As when items are equiped (it is in the picture) then they are located directly in the character not in the backpack.

#9

i got it to show up in the players backpack on client and server now, but the tool just does not work, it works fine when i put it in starterpack just not when i clone it

#10

Well that is most likley due to some tool scripts not the actual clone function.

#11

it works fine though, when i put it in starterpack, it works fine
its just cloning breaks it

#12

Would it be possible to see the tool scripts part when its meant to start doing anything?

#13

heres the local script for it

local canSharingan = false
local Can = true
local loaded = false

local tool = script.Parent

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local animator = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):WaitForChild("Animator")

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	print("equipped works")
	
	if not loaded then
		local pre = animator:LoadAnimation(tool.use)
		pre:Play()
		task.wait(0.1)
		pre:Stop()
		loaded = true
	end

	if Can then
		canSharingan = true		
	end

	tool.Activated:Connect(function()
		print("click works")
		if canSharingan then
			canSharingan = false
			Can = false

			local anim = animator:LoadAnimation(tool.use)
			anim:Play()

			game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)

			task.wait(0.1)

			tool.Handle.equip:Play()

			task.wait(0.3)

			game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, true)

			tool.thing:FireServer(true)

			local ui = tool.Handle.sharingan:Clone()
			ui.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui

			local hum = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid

			hum.Died:Connect(function()
				if ui then
					ui:Destroy()
				end
			end)

			workspace.Camera.FieldOfView = 79

			for i = 35, 1, -1 do

				hum.WalkSpeed = 28

				ui.Frame.ImageLabel.TextLabel.Text = i
				task.wait(1)

				e = i
			end

			ui.Frame.ImageLabel.TextLabel.Text = e - 1

			ui:Destroy()

			tool.Handle.unequip:Play()

			workspace.Camera.FieldOfView = 70

			tool.thing:FireServer(false)

			task.wait(6)

			Can = true

			canSharingan = true
		end
	end)
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	canSharingan = false
end)

server script:

script.Parent.thing.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, type)
	player:FindFirstChild("SharinganActive").Value = type
end)
#14

Replace the

player:FindFirstChild()

With

player:WaitForChild()

Also make sure that the value does actualy get loaded
If there are any errors or prints missing in the output bar be sure to reply with the information

#15

still not working, tried putting the remote event in replicated storage but still no difference

#16

But are there any errors or prints missing in the output?

#17

no errors at all, none in console or anything

#18

Il take a look at the local script again

#19

I noticed an infinte yield error

#20 
Local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait

As otherwise when the player’s char has loaded, CharacterLoaded wont fire again when you clone it, thus leading to an infinite yield and crashing the script at the nearest character mention by making it wait infinitly.
