Happy Birthday! Also if you want to check if the have equipped a tool because equipped tools won’t show up in the backpack, you can do this:

local player = --define

local function CheckTools()
     local numberOfTools = 0

      for i, v in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
            if v:IsA("Tool" then
                numberOfTools += 1
            end
      end

       if player.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool") then
            numberOfTools += 1
       end

end 
print(CheckTools)

Faster way to do it. Since the thing provided by Jackyboii is not efficient at all. While it works, do this.

local numberOfTools = #player.Backpack:GetChildren() -- Provides number of tools in only ONE line of code

local CharacterTools = player.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool")

-- Check if charactertools is nil and if not add 1 to number of tools

Hi I found a faster way to do it this method can provide the number of tools but with less code so I hope this can also help you optimize your code check my reply above. Your code doesn’t work because in your check tools function you didn’t return the number of tools that are in the players backpack and character so when you print the function it glitches out with no info returned from the function

Quick note, you need to provide the variable for player for this to work

Yup i did but, may I ask how I can destroy a tool if the player has two tools?

Rn you can probably look into some ways to do that, i’m kinda tired so I can’t help.
