#1

hiya, scratching my head because of this one. how would i connect both Tool and Tool2 to both OnEquipped and onUnequipped at the bottom of my script?

local Tool = Character:WaitForChild("Kart", math.huge)
local Tool2 = Character:WaitForChild("Motorcycle", math.huge)

local function onEquipped()
	ContextActionService:UnbindAction('RunBind')
end

local function onUnequipped()
	ContextActionService:BindAction('RunBind', Handler, false, Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift)
	Running = false
end

Tool.Equipped:Connect(onEquipped)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(onUnequipped)

i couldn’t find my problem here, but i’m assuming either a pair or table is gonna be my solution, i just don’t know how to go about it

Basically two options here

If you’re just going to keep it at two tools the best option is probably to connect them both without a loop

Tool.Equipped:Connect(onEquipped)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(onUnequipped)

Tool2.Equipped:Connect(onEquipped)
Tool2.Unequipped:Connect(onUnequipped)

If youre gonna add a whole bunch of tools you’re best option is to make a table and then loop through that

At the top op your script, under the tool variables add this

local Tools = {Tool, Tool2, Tool3, etc}

Then at the bottom loop through those and connect the functions

for i, tool in pairs(Tools) do

  tool.Equipped:Connect(onEquipped)
  tool.Unequipped:Connect(onUnequipped)

end
