Hand-To Script doing absolutely Nothing

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello,

So I have been creating a tool, and I want to include a hand-to system. Basically, when a player presses H they enter ‘hand to’ mode, and as soon as they click on another player, it gives the tool to them. I am using a local script and Remote event to actually give the tool in a local script. So far I have tried moving the tool’s parent, cloning it to the other player and destroying the original, but nothing works. As soon as it gets to the Server Script it just immediately breaks. Trying a print() statement in there works, but the actual hand to system does absolutely nothing.

-- LOCAL SCRIPT --
local handToMode = false
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local handToEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("HandToEvent")

mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
	if string.upper(key) == "H" then
		handToMode = not handToMode
		print(handToMode)
	end  
end)

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	if handToMode == true then
		local handedPlr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(mouse.Target.Parent)
		print(handedPlr)
		print(handedPlr ~= nil)
		if handedPlr ~= nil then
			handToEvent:FireServer(player, handedPlr)
		end 
	end
end)

-- SERVER SCRIPT --
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local handToEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("HandToEvent")
local handToEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("NotifyEvent")


local function handItem(giver, receiver)
	local tool = giver.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool")
	tool:Clone().Parent = receiver
	giver.Character.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
	tool.Destroy()
	
end


handToEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(handItem)

I don’t get any errors in the output or such, though. Person A just keeps the drink and Person B gets absolutely nothing.

Thanks in advance, B!

The tool:Clone().Parent is being set to the player. Did you mean to set this to the player’s backpack instead?

Also, you need to call Destroy() with : not .

Nope. Still not working :confused:. I wonder what the problem is, because the RemoteEvent definitely is working. Would giving the player the item in the server carry over into the local or not?
