How do I get Backpack from ServerScript

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi. I’m trying to make a Shop Gui and the problem is that when you use a Local Script to get Tools it just bugs the Tool so I’m currently trying to use Server Script.

I made this Script but it still won’t work somehow:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players:GetPlayers()
local Backpack = Player.Backpack

local Tool = game.ReplicatedStorage.TestFolder.Test

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	Tool:Clone().Parent = Backpack
	print("Test")
end)

I found a related post of this but it’s broken for me and probably outdated.

There’s a trick I use to fetch the player from a server Script inside of a Gui:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local guiButton = script.Parent

local player = guiButton:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Player")

local tool = ReplicatedStorage.TestFolder.Test

if player then
	local function onMouseButton1Click()
		tool:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
		print("Test")
	end

	guiButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(onMouseButton1Click)
end

Since Guis will be placed inside of the player’s PlayerGui you can use FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA to fetch the player

you can use this local script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local backpack = player:WaitForChild(“Backpack”)

I’m pretty sure that objects inside replicated storage can’t be cloned or removed. Put the backpack tools into server storage instead

They can be cloned/removed? They’re supposed to be REPLICATED for client and server use.

ServerStorage is when something has to be replicated by the server

I think you should try this updated script instead. Make sure to write the correct name of the GUI and the button in the Button variable.

local Tool = game.ReplicatedStorage.TestFolder.Test
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	task.wait(2)
	local Button = plr.PlayerGui.Gui.Button-- The name of the Gui and the button
	Gui.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		Tool:Clone().Parent = plr
		print("Test")
	end)
end)

Create a RemoteEvent that Fire Server with Tool Name (if its same name as the button then do this) when you click on a button.
Client:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	Event:FireServer(script.Parent.Name)
end)

Then you get the event from server and then handle the giving tool:

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, tool)
	local backpack = player.Backpack
	local tool = -- look for the tool or where you put it
		
	tool:Clone().Parent = backpack
end)
