Get player from equiped Event

[LeanderDevForum]

Hello so I ask you guys, if you now how to get the player from a Equipped event(Serverscript in the tool)?

The tool is parented to the player’s character when equipped, because of that you can use Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter.

local players = game:GetService("Players")

local function OnEquipped()
	local char = tool.Parent
	local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
	
	if player then --check if player was found, maybe it's an npc
		print(player)
	end
end

Could always check for the Parent of the Tool that was equipped, such as:

local players = game:GetService('Players')

local player = Tool.Parent.Name
if players:FindFirstChild(player) then
	player = players[player]
end

@mniao has a more thought-out way.

[Waffle_Gamer6 (DevOrange)]

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
    game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Parent)
end)

assuming the script is in the tool
