I already know this but how to detect if the player who clicked have a hamburger in his inventory?

This is actually really simple. By default, tools are stored in Player.Backpack; meaning you can just do something like:

if Player.Backpack[ToolName] then
  --do stuff
end

Depending on your use case, :FindFirstChild or :WaitForChild may be more suitable than directly indexing the tool. A good article on this can be found here.

On another note, I do not recommend ClickDetectors due to their poor behavior. A much, much better alternative can be found here (scroll down a bit for the actual source).

The MouseClick event from the ClickDetector object returns the player who clicked it as a parameter for the callback function. You could then check for a tool named “Hamburger” in the player’s backpack.

#6

Use the :FindFirstChild() function to check if something that is in the player Backpack is named Hamburger

Example:

if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Hamburger") then

    -- Function here

end

If you want to check if they have a tool named “Hamburger” that is equipped, you should do

if character:FindFirstChild(“Hamburger”) then
    print(“Hamburger is equipped!”)
end

Tools that are equipped are parented to the player’s character.
