Error to find Player's Backpack:

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
,
#21

I actually was checking out the API for this, though it appears that it is another situation… Therefore, I am quite unsure how I can make another event just like I did to once touching

I also used ballon.Parent.Parent == nil to try and check out if it won’t play the sound if it is unequipped… I am not sure if there are other properties to describe whether the player is equipped with the tool or not

#22

When you unequip the tool, it’s sent to the player’s backpack, not nil

Checking on touch makes this a lot more confusing, with Equipped and Unequipped You can check these easier and thus do what you want easier. When the tool is equipped, getting the character would be script:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model") provided the handle isn’t in a model, which shouldn’t be the case, and when you unequip, set the stuff back to normal and :Stop() the audio

Yes, you are quite correct that it can be very confusing as putting in the touching event, although I want to make it like this based on my beginning skill from what I mostly see in the API Manual…

Continue with the discussion, I created both events for Equipped and Unequipped in the statement, but it gives me a minor problem:

image

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

ballon = workspace.Red_Ballon.Handle

ballon.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local character = hit.Parent
	local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
	if not player then
		return
	end
	print(player.Name, player.DisplayName .. " touched the Handle!")
	ballon.Parent.Parent = player.Backpack
	local human = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
	if human then
		human.UseJumpPower = true
		human.JumpPower = 85
		human.JumpHeight = 85
		human.WalkSpeed = 16
	end
	ballon.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
		print("Tool was equipped")
		ballon["bounce boing sound effect"]:Play()
		human.UseJumpPower = true
		human.JumpPower = 85
		human.JumpHeight = 85
		human.WalkSpeed = 16
	end)
	
	ballon.Unquipped:Connection(function()
		print("Tool was unequipped")
		ballon["bounce boing sound effect"]:Stop()
		human.UseJumpPower = true
		human.JumpPower = 50
		human.JumpHeight = 7.2
		human.WalkSpeed = 16
	end)
end)

Not sure if I need to put outside of the .Touched event at this point

#24

Equipped and Unequipped are events for tools, so in your case, Red_Ballon has to be connected to them, not the handle

I think something like this would be the best choice since multiple events would be created if you go with the Touched method

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local ballon = workspace.Red_Ballon

local character, human

ballon.Equipped:Connect(function()
    character = ballon:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
    human = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
    if not human then
        return
    end
    
    print("Tool was equipped")
    ballon["bounce boing sound effect"]:Play()
    human.UseJumpPower = true
    human.JumpPower = 85
    human.JumpHeight = 85
    human.WalkSpeed = 16
end)

ballon.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    if not human then
        return
    end
    
    print("Tool was unequipped")
    ballon["bounce boing sound effect"]:Stop()
    human.UseJumpPower = true
    human.JumpPower = 50
    human.JumpHeight = 7.2
    human.WalkSpeed = 16
end)

Ye, that should be the best choice for me left, XD

Though, I feel like the ballon["bounce boing sound effect"] is quite not playing once trying the character jumps and the Humanoid.Jump is set as true… I tried making a statement, yet no results, perhaps the rest

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local ballon = workspace.Red_Ballon

local character, human

ballon.Equipped:Connect(function()
	character = ballon:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
	human = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
	if not human then
		return
	end

	print("Tool was equipped")
	if human.Jump == true then
		ballon["bounce boing sound effect"]:Play()
	end
	ballon["tada.wav/victory.wav HD"]:Play()
	human.AutoJumpEnabled = true
	human.UseJumpPower = true
	human.JumpPower = 85
	human.JumpHeight = 85
	human.WalkSpeed = 16
end)

ballon.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	if not human then
		return
	end

	print("Tool was unequipped")
	ballon["tada.wav/victory.wav HD"]:Stop()
	ballon["bounce boing sound effect"]:Stop()
	human.AutoJumpEnabled = false
	human.UseJumpPower = true
	human.JumpPower = 50
	human.JumpHeight = 7.2
	human.WalkSpeed = 16
end)

Try creating an event for jumping and disonnect it on unequip

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local ballon = workspace.Red_Ballon

local character, human, jumpConnection

ballon.Equipped:Connect(function()
	character = ballon:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
	human = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
	if not human then
		return
	end

	print("Tool was equipped")
	jumpConnection = human.Jumping:Connect(function(jumping)
        if not jumping then
            return
        end
        ballon["bounce boing sound effect"]:Play()
    end)
	ballon["tada.wav/victory.wav HD"]:Play()
	human.AutoJumpEnabled = true
	human.UseJumpPower = true
	human.JumpPower = 85
	human.JumpHeight = 85
	human.WalkSpeed = 16
end)

ballon.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	if not human then
		return
	end

	print("Tool was unequipped")
    
    if jumpConnection then
        jumpConnection:Disconnect()
    end
    
	ballon["tada.wav/victory.wav HD"]:Stop()
	ballon["bounce boing sound effect"]:Stop()
	human.AutoJumpEnabled = false
	human.UseJumpPower = true
	human.JumpPower = 50
	human.JumpHeight = 7.2
	human.WalkSpeed = 16
end)

Yup! Now it works perfectly! :partying_face:

Thank you so much for helping me out… I really wanted to make a ballon tool in an alternative method alongside simple methods that I can understand!
