	for i = 1, #existeditems do
		local items = existeditems[i]
		print(items.Name .. " is item number " .. i)
		if items.Name==newitem or items.ToolTip==newchild.ToolTip then
			local stackamount=newchild:FindFirstChild("Amount")
			local stackenabled=newchild:FindFirstChild("StackingEnabled")
			if stackamount and stackenabled then
				if stackenabled.Value==true then
					stackamount.Value+=1
					newchild:Destroy()

when the tool destroy do the player equip it?

#3

because when the player equip the tool ,the location of the tool change

#4

No, when the player have his tool in the inventory, I dont think it will be equipped.

#5

yes but while the script is running is the tool equiped or not?

#6

when the tool is equiped his parent is the character

#7

in your script the tool’s parent is the BackPack but if the tool is equiped the parent is the player’s character

#8

No. It is wouldn’t be equipped.

Do you mind elaborating of what’re you trying to fix?

#14

Maybe because you destroy the newchild?

newchild:Destroy()

When you equip the items of the tool, maybe the newchild is also items?

#15

newchild is an item in the first place since it was cloned into the player’s backpack. newchild:Destroy() is what I am trying to do, but it led to the error I mentioned above.

Maybe

newchild:Destroy()
playerhumanoid:EquipTool(items)

At this code, try to swap those?

#17

This issue occurs because 2 things affect the parent of an object at the same time.
Try to introduce a wait() and see if it fixes the problem. This has at least fixed a lot of problems for me.
