Code Issues - Cloning Model onto Activated Tool

[JohhnyLegoKing]

Do make sure that there isn’t another part named Handle inside of the plateModel

yes take a look at this:

and here is the error of the script:

After re-reading the error I noticed that it’s for the Fries Tool, not the plateModel inside of Workspace

The Fries Tool doesn’t have a proximity prompt inside of its handle, but this is most likely intentional. The easiest solution would be to do this:

local proxPrompt = script.Parent.Handle:FindFirstChild("ProximityPrompt")
local plateModel = script.Parent

if proxPrompt then
	proxPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
		print("Proximity prompt triggered")
		if player then
			print("Player found:", player.Name)
			local character = player.Character
			if character then
				print("Character found for player:", player.Name)
				local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
				if humanoid then
					print("Humanoid found for player:", player.Name)
					local activatedTool = nil

					-- Connect the Activated event outside the loop
					local backpack = character:GetChildren()
					for _, tool in ipairs(backpack) do
						if tool:IsA("Tool") then
							print("Connecting Activated event for tool:", tool.Name)
							if tool.Activated then
								activatedTool = tool
								break
							end
						end
					end

					-- Wait for the Activated event to be triggered
					wait(0.1)

					-- Check if the activated tool is equipped
					if activatedTool and activatedTool.Parent == character then
						print("Activated and equipped tool found for player:", player.Name)
						-- Clone the plate model under the activated and equipped tool
						local plateClone = plateModel:Clone()
						plateClone.Handle.ProximityPrompt:Destroy()
						plateClone.Parent = activatedTool
						plateClone:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(activatedTool.Handle.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -1, 0)) -- Adjust the position under the tool
						print("Plate cloned and positioned under activated and equipped tool for player:", player.Name)

						for _, instance in plateClone:GetDescendants() do
							if instance:IsA("BasePart") then
								local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
								weld.Part0 = activatedTool.Handle
								weld.Part1 = instance
								weld.Parent = activatedTool

								instance.Anchored = false
							end
						end
					else
						print("No activated and equipped tool found for player:", player.Name)
					end
				else
					print("No humanoid found for player:", player.Name)
				end
			else
				print("No character found for player:", player.Name)
			end
		else
			print("No player found")
		end
	end)
end

Wow, this worked! How did you manage to do it? I’ll mark it as the solution, and thank you so much for this tremendous help, really.

By the way, thank you all very much for the help on the post.

The script is now checking if the handle contains the prompt before running the rest of its code, which fixed the issue causing the error to occur

Now the script will only work when a prompt is found in the handle, as the original intent was

[PipeSader]

Thank you very much for the clarification and your comments, they really help me a lot in my learning. By the way, one last thing to ask, how could I set a specific time for the original model to be invisible for 5 seconds after cloning and then become visible again?

Oh nvm i already did thanks you so much

local proxPrompt = script.Parent.Handle:FindFirstChild("ProximityPrompt")
local plateModel = script.Parent
local invisibilityDuration = 5 

if proxPrompt then
	proxPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
		print("Proximity prompt triggered")
		if player then
			print("Player found:", player.Name)
			local character = player.Character
			if character then
				print("Character found for player:", player.Name)
				local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
				if humanoid then
					print("Humanoid found for player:", player.Name)
					local activatedTool = nil

					-- Connect the Activated event outside the loop
					local backpack = character:GetChildren()
					for _, tool in ipairs(backpack) do
						if tool:IsA("Tool") then
							print("Connecting Activated event for tool:", tool.Name)
							if tool.Activated then
								activatedTool = tool
								break
							end
						end
					end

					-- Wait for the Activated event to be triggered
					wait(0.1)

					-- Check if the activated tool is equipped
					if activatedTool and activatedTool.Parent == character then
						print("Activated and equipped tool found for player:", player.Name)
						-- Clone the plate model under the activated and equipped tool
						local plateClone = plateModel:Clone()
						plateClone.Handle.ProximityPrompt:Destroy()
						plateClone.Parent = activatedTool
						plateClone:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(activatedTool.Handle.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -1, 0)) -- Adjust the position under the tool
						print("Plate cloned and positioned under activated and equipped tool for player:", player.Name)

						for _, instance in ipairs(plateClone:GetDescendants()) do
							if instance:IsA("BasePart") then
								local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
								weld.Part0 = activatedTool.Handle
								weld.Part1 = instance
								weld.Parent = activatedTool

								instance.Anchored = false
							end
						end

						-- Make the original plate model invisible
						for _, instance in ipairs(plateModel:GetDescendants()) do
							if instance:IsA("BasePart") then
								instance.Transparency = 1
							end
						end

						-- Set a timer to make the original plate model visible again after a certain duration
						wait(invisibilityDuration)
						for _, instance in ipairs(plateModel:GetDescendants()) do
							if instance:IsA("BasePart") then
								instance.Transparency = 0
							end
						end
					else
						print("No activated and equipped tool found for player:", player.Name)
					end
				else
					print("No humanoid found for player:", player.Name)
				end
			else
				print("No character found for player:", player.Name)
			end
		else
			print("No player found")
		end
	end)
