How do I check if a player is holding an tool?

WARNING!!! I do not need to check whether the item is in the player’s inventory, I need to know if the player is holding the item.

I am writing a combat system and need a player to strike, etc. only if he is holding the combat. What’s the best way to do it?

Where your script located? If it is in tool then:

local tool = script.Parent
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
   --put code you want
end)
#3

At the moment my script is in the starter player - character

#4

And by the way, when I tried this option and wrote a print inside the function, then just nothing came out neither when he holds the item nor when he just logs into the game

#5

In starter character scripts or in starter player scripts?

#6

in the starter character. Wait… in the starter player will better or what?

#7

Parent the LocalScript to the tool.

#8

Just asking,it is necessary to know script location in 90% cases.

#9

Okay then, sorry I didn’t get it right away. yes the script is currently in the starter character

#10

Ok, so here is code:

local character = script.Parent.Parent
local tool = character:WaitForChild("PUTHERETOOLNAME")
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
        --put here your code--
end)
#11 
local player = script.Parent.Parent
local character = script.Parent
local Humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local tool = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Combat")  or player.Character:FindFirstChild("Combat")

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	print("Equipped")
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	print("Unequipped")
end)

See, it’s my script . I have the problem because in her nothing printing…

Just make it

Add boolean called playerequippedtool into script and then try to use this:

local Eqquiped = script.playerequippedtool.Value
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
       Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
           local function ToolParent()
              if Character:FindFirstChild("Combat") then
               Eqquiped = true
              elseif  Player:WaitForChild("Backpack"):WaitForChild("Combat") then
                 Eqquiped = false
              end
             end
             Player:WaitForChild("Backpack"):WaitForChild("Combat"):GetPropertyChangedSignal("Parent"):Connect(ToolParent)
       end)
end)
local function Eqquipedfunc()
        if Eqquiped == true then
      --your code here--
    end
end
script.playerequippedtool:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(Eqquipedfunc)

try this script

local function Check(Tool) --Tool is name of the tool
	if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild(Tool) then
		return true
	else
		return false
	end
end
