Equipping only one tool at once

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So I’ve had and been having a problem trying to make a script that only makes the character able to equip one tool at once as there is a glitch with one of the tools which I cannot fix. No don’t ask me to fix that glitch because fixing this would be easier.

So I made this code using a server script, located in ServerScriptService and I’m getting no response in the output at all.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local chr = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name)
	
	if plr then
		
		while true do
		wait(.001)
		local checked = 0
		local get = chr:GetChildren()
		
		for i = 1, #get do
			local getc = get[i]
			
			if getc:IsA('Tool') then
				checked = checked + 1
			end
		end
		
		if checked > 1 then
			chr.Humanoid:UnequipTools() 
			end
		end
	end
end)

It’s intended purpose is to unequip all tools from the character if more than 1 is equipped. Thank you for your time and I would love help on this :>

It isn’t exactly necessary to encase your checking thru a loop, you could just use a ChildAdded event on the Character instead & check if it’s a tool or not

chr.ChildAdded:Connect(function(NewChild)
    local Checked = 0
    local Objects = chr:GetChildren()

    for i = 1, #Objects do
        local Check = Objects[i]

        if Check:IsA("Tool") then
            Checked += 1
        end
    end

    if Checked > 1 then
        chr.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
    end
end)

Also you could just use a CharacterAdded event as well?

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(chr)
local tools = 0
local humanoid = chr:WaitForChild('Humanoid')

chr.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
if child:IsA('Tool') then
tools += 1

if tools > 1 then
humanoid:UnequipTools()
end
end
end)

chr.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(child)
if child:IsA('Tool') then
tools -= 1
end
end)
end)
end)

I still can’t understand how you can equip more than 1 roblox tool in your game. . .

I’m using SolarHorizon’s lightsabers, you can do a thing called stacking them which is super easy and if you have more than one lightsaber it make you insanely OP.

Didnt work unforuntunately.

Maybe try using Jack’s solution.

#8

It didn’t work either unfortunately…

#9 
local tools = 0
char.ChildAdded:Connect(function()
	curTools = 0
	for i,v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("Tool") then
			curTools += 1
		end
	end
	tools = curTools
	if tools > 1 then
		tools = 0
		char.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
	end
end)

I only just included a snippet of code as an example

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
        local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
        Character.ChildAdded:Connect(function()
            local Checked = 0
            local Objects = Character:GetChildren()

            for i = 1, #Objects do
                local Check = Objects[i]

                if Check:IsA("Tool") then
                    Checked += 1
                end
            end

            if Checked > 1 then
                chr.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
            end
        end)

    end)
end)

You could just mark my post as a solution if it worked for you in case anyone else struggles with this issue as well :slightly_smiling_face: @R0mAAn1CH was only stating that I added an additional CharacterAdded event & I fixed a couple of other things as well

#17

Done, thanks for your efforts with the code!
