! Edible Food Script Help | [when tool is activated, it is removed from backpack]

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Goal: When the player clicks/activates the food item, it is removed from their inventory.

My setup: This is located in lighting, I have a script so when the player clicks on a part, it clones + enters their inventory.

My script:
Control script below:

local remote = script.EatRemote

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	remote:FireServer("Eat")
end)

Eat script below:


remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, value)
	local character = workspace:WaitForChild(Player.name)
	if value == "Eat" then
		script.Parent:Remove()
	end
end)

Errors:

Try using a WaitForChild on the line.

local remote = script:WaitForChild("EatRemote")

Thank you so much for the reply, I appreciate it! I put that in and it says this now, any possible ideas why? Should I have added wait()?

Or you could simply do script with:

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
     script.Parent:Destroy()
end)

Also, I would not really suggest using :Remove() but :Destroy() would be better in this case

#5

:WaitForChild() automatically waits until the child is added, thus wait() is not needed.

Also, in this case you are looking for “EatRemote” inside Bread.Control.Eat but the “EatRemote” is located in Bread.Control

Your function is still open - you need to close it with end)

So replace end with end)
