How do I make players have their tools forced to be unequipped? What I mean is like this video: How To Make A Safe Zone (Roblox Scripting) - YouTube. Ive tried it, but it doesn’t work, so I want to ask the devforum.

local tool = script.Parent
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
local character = tool.Parent
local humanoid = character.Humanoid
if humanoid then
if humanoid.Health then
if humanoid.Health <= 0 then
humanoid:UnequipTools()
end
end
end
end)
Script inside tool.

wait how do I make it continuously work until I want it to stop
You can use a while loop, or remove the tools from their backpack, save them and then give them back when they exit the zone.

Well, you can attach an event to remove them whenever they are created, and then remove it once they leave the safe zone. (Note: the Backpack gets created and destroyed every time the player dies)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local removeToolsConnection
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
removeToolsConnection = player.Backpack.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
child:Destroy()
end)
end)
And once they leave you can simply do:
removeToolsConnection:Disconnect()

sorry I never stated what I was using this for, it’s not a safe zone, its a reviving script. I want the reviver and the downed person to both have their weapons unequipped looped while they are still reviving/being downed
Okay, you can apply the same code anyway.
Once the player starts reviving:
First, remove all tools:
for _, tool in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
tool:Destroy()
end
Then call the first bit of code.
Once the player is revived, call the second bit above.
what does this do? it destroys my tools, but they are gone, so that’s kinda pointless
Whoops! I didn’t know you wanted to keep them afterwards. No worries, just a simple tweak.
Create a table to store all tools:
local unequippedTools
Add current tools
for _, tool in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(unequippedTools, tool)
tool.Parent = nil
end
Remove any subsequent tools
local removeToolsConnection
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
removeToolsConnection = player.Backpack.ChildAdded:Connect(function(tool)
table.insert(unequippedTools, tool)
tool.Parent = nil
end)
end)
Re-add tools:
removeToolsConnection:Disconnect()
for _, tool in pairs(unequippedTools) do
tool.Parent = player.Backpack
end
unequippedTools = {}
what is the local player? (3.0 bypass)
You don’t have to use a while loop at all. You can just set the Tool | Roblox Creator Documentation property to false before unequipping it and setting it to true once you want them to be able to equip it again.

how would I make it select all of the tools in their inventory and do that? i’m not the best at scripting
Well, like @Forummer pointed out, you can use the Humanoid | Roblox Creator Documentation method to unequip the tool, if any, that is currently equipped. Then, because all equiped tools should be in the player’s backpack, you can then loop through and diable them all.
In this instance, we just need to use the unequip method and a for loop to iterate through the players backpack. Here’s an example in a local script:
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local backpack = player.Backpack
local humanoid = (player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()):WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local function EnableTools()
for _, child in pairs(backpack:GetChildren()) do
if child:IsA("Tool") then
child.Enabled = true
end
end
end
local function DisableTools()
humanoid:UnequipTools()
for _, child in pairs(backpack:GetChildren()) do
if child:IsA("Tool") then
child.Enabled = false
end
end
end
I’m using a normal script, so what would I call for the player’s backpack? I think the local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer is only for local scripts
Oh. In that case you can use an edited version.
local function EnableTools(player)
local backpack = player:FindFirstChild("Backpack")
if backpack then
for _, child in pairs(backpack:GetChildren()) do
if child:IsA("Tool") then
child.Enabled = true
end
end
end
end
local function DisableTools(player)
(player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()):WaitForChild("Humanoid"):UnequipTools()
local backpack = player:FindFirstChild("Backpack")
if backpack then
for _, child in pairs(backpack:GetChildren()) do
if child:IsA("Tool") then
child.Enabled = false
end
end
end
end
The player argument is the player you wish to disable tools for.

Setting the tool’s enabled value to false doesn’t do anything.
Strange. It should, according to the documentation.
If it isn’t, then I’d suggest using the StarterGui | Roblox Creator Documentation method to toggle whether the Backpack | Roblox Creator Documentation is enabled or not. You can do this like so:
local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
--other code in-between
StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false) -- set to false to disable and true to enable
If you want, you can read more about it here: Disabling Default UI Elements | Roblox Creator Documentation
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if player and humanoid then
humanoid:UnequipTools()
end
end)
Just paste this into a serverscript in the safezone part and it should work.
Hope this helped!

You mean like this?
local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local function EnableTools(player)
StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, true) -- set to false to disable and true to enable
end
end
end
end
local function DisableTools(player)
StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false) -- set to false to disable and true to enable
end
end
end
end

You don’t have to make it that complicated. All you simply have to do is set the parent of the tool to the backpack of the player:
Tool.Parent = Backpack
