Try using :WaitForChild(‘Handle’)

Still does not work? for some odd reason

#5

Does it give an infinite yield warning?

#6

no it does not give that type of warning

#7

Could you show how you’re implementing the waitforchild?

Hmm. Does it give any other type of error? Could you show a screenshot of your hierarchy?

no other errors

#11

Hmm, weird.

It’s weird how the error in your first reply shows that the tool is still in the backpack on equip.

Also, in your screenshot, you’re using a . instead of a : on :WaitForChild(). Try changing it to a colon and see if that works.

does not work roblos moment
i had this problem before but i forgot how to fix it

#13

Do you have anything else named “Tool” in the backpack?

#14

No i do not have anything else named “Tool” in the backpack.

#15

On one of your lines of code it says:

gun.WaitForChild()

when it should be

gun:WaitForChild()
#16

ik i have already fixed that earlier

#17 
local gun = script.Parent
local gun_sound = gun:WaitForChild("Handle"):WaitForChild("Gun Shot")
print(script.Parent.Name)

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('ShotEvent')

gun.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
	mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
		remoteEvent:FireServer(script.Parent.Handle.Position, mouse.Hit.p)
		gun_sound:Play()
	end)
end)

Try this perhaps?

The script runs before the handle is even loaded in, to fix this you do-

local gun = script.Parent
local handle = gun:WaitForChild("Handle")
local gun_sound = handle:WaitForChild("Gun Shot")



local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('ShotEvent')



gun.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)



	mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()

		remoteEvent:FireServer(script.Parent.Handle.Position, mouse.Hit.p)

		gun_sound:Play()

	end)
