Enabled/Disable Automatic Tool Equipping?

I’m using “equipping” as in when the player steps on a tool on the ground in workspace and it goes into their backpack.

Is it possible to enable & disable the automatic “equipping” of a single tool? I’ve tried changing the name of the Handle part to something else but changing it back does not recreate the TouchTransmitter.

you could just make it so that users cant drop tools in the first place…

That isn’t answering my question. The tools are not being dropped by anyone.

You mean like when a player touches a tool, it automatically goes inside the player backpack, which is what you want to disable at certain times?

Yes, that’s exactly what I mean. I want to disable this automatic picking-up action and then re-enable it a while later.

You can disable BasePart | Roblox Creator Documentation in the parts of the tool, but if you have RequiresHandle enabled, you can disable it only in the handle also another way to disable it is: If you have RequiresHandle enabled in the tool, you can change the handle name in the tool.

Yeah, I’ve already done that but re-enabling it isn’t working for me.

Disabling the Handle’s CanTouch and re-enabling it worked, thanks!

Another way to do it is just rename the Handle as something else.

That doesn’t work, since changing the name of the Handle back to “Handle” does not recreate the TouchTransmitter.

Or, try removing the TouchTransmitter…

That I’ve also tried, but you can’t recreate the TouchTransmitter either.

I swear I remember there’s an instance which you can create it, it’s just the class name is different.

You can disable or enable Handle CanTouch
