How Do I Delete Items In A Player's Backpack

[Play_MazeOfHeck]

Basically how do I delete items in a player’s backpack through a server script.

I tried doing this, but it doesn’t work and there are no errors

local items = player.Backpack:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool")
		player.items:Destroy()

How to destroy a tool from player

OK, so I have the code working for removing tools from the backpack. This is running great. Thanks for all of the dev forum samples to guide me.The problem comes up if the tool is active. When active the tool gets removed from Backpack and is moved to the player???. Because the tool is no longer in the backpack it gets overlooked by the delete I have setup. What would be the recommended way to destroy a tool that is selected. local backpack = player.Backpack local ChickenFind = backpack:FindFi…

I think that’s removing a players items through a local script

It should still nonetheless tell you how to delete items from a player’s backpack.

Tools that are unequipped will be in the Backpack, and tools that are equipped will be within the character. If you want to delete a certain tool from the player (in the backpack and character), you could try doing this:

local itemName = "Cup" --Change this
if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(itemName) and player.Backpack[itemName]:IsA("Tool") then
    player.Backpack.Cup:Destroy()
end --Destroy Non-Equipped tool in inventory / Backpack
if player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild(itemName) and player.Character[itemName]:IsA("Tool") then
    player.Character[itemName]:Destroy()
end --Destroy Equipped Tool

If you want to remove ALL tools in a backpack, you can do

for _, tool in ipairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
    if tool:IsA("Tool") then
        tool:Destroy()
    end
end --Deletes all tools from Backpack
if player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") then
    player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool"):Destroy()
end --Deletes Equipped Tool

What do we reference player as since its a server script?
