weird, is there a script that clears the tools when the player dies?
if tools are in starterpack, they should automatically be parented to backpack once the player respawns.

in your case, i assume another script is interfering with the tools.

No there are no scripts that clear the tool. there are only scripts in serverscriptservice that are used for bullets, chat tag, leaderstats, team handler. and thats all. the rest is just a fog in workspace and local scripts in the guns… if the tools are in starterpack and they should be given to the player by a script. could you somehow help me just make the script or where to place it? (god damn this is a long edit)

i found the problem. i had a script that disables the invetory and enables it when a team is choosen. well i got my answer but i actually need that script so i dont have just the tools showing in the main menu.

if you want the tools to be given to the player by a script,
you can create a Folder, inside which all the tools are stored.

Next, create a Script in ServerScriptService.
This code is an example on how you would approach your goal.

local function GiveTool(Player,ToolName)
    local FolderWithTools = -- Location of the Folder
    FolderWithTools[ToolName]:Clone().Parent=Player:WaitForChild("Backpack")
end

local Player = -- Define the Player
local ToolName = "Your Tool Name"

GiveTool(Player,ToolName) -- Run the Function

If you want to give all the tools to the player,
you can loop through the Folder, and run the function for each tool.

Example,

local FolderWithTools = -- Location of the Folder
local function GiveTool(Player,ToolName)
    FolderWithTools[ToolName]:Clone().Parent=Player:WaitForChild("Backpack")
end

local Player = -- Define the Player

for i, v in pairs(FolderWithTools:GetChildren()) -- Looping through the Folder

   -- v is the individual tool inside the Folder
   GiveTool(Player,v.Name)
end

you cannot get the Player by game.Players.LocalPlayer
in a Script. You can only do that in LocalScripts.

if you want the Player to Spawn with tools and also respawn with tools, you can try

local FolderWithTools = -- Define Folder With Tools
local function GiveTool(Player,ToolName)
	FolderWithTools[ToolName]:Clone().Parent=Player:WaitForChild("Backpack")
end

local PlayersService=game:GetService("Players") 

PlayersService.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) -- You get the Player
	-- This code runs every time a new player joins the game
	local function GiveAllTools()
		for i, v in pairs(FolderWithTools:GetChildren()) do -- Looping through the Folder
			-- v is the individual tool inside the Folder
			GiveTool(Player,v.Name)
		end
	end
	if Player.Character then
		GiveAllTools()
	end
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		GiveAllTools()
	end) 
end)

Put the tool in ReplicatedStorage, detect whenever the player spawns in or whenever you want them to get the gun back. Then in a script(probably in serverscriptstorage/starter(pack/gui)), clone the tool and put that clone into the players playerpack.
