I think you will first have to define with a variable then use an if statement.

Something like,

if (variable) then

4 
local toolfolder = game.ReplicatedStorage.save
local tool = script.Parent

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	if toolfolder:WaitForChild("Wooden Sword") then
		print("Already there")
	else
		local toolclone = tool:Clone()
	toolclone.Parent = toolfolder
	print("cloned")
	end
end)

I’m pretty new to scripting but this did not work and I’m pretty sure ik why

Im trying to make a script in a tool that when it is equipped it clones the tool (which is the scripts parent) and if the tool is already cloned in the folder then it will print already cloned.

	if toolfolder:WaitForChild("Wooden Sword") then

I have never seen this before :thinking: ill test it but…

	if toolfolder:FindFirstChild("Wooden Sword") then

Try this

I used backquotes (`) the key next to 1

local toolfolder = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").save
local tool = script.Parent

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	if toolfolder:FindFirstChild(tool.Name) then
		print("Has Tool")
	else 
		local toolclone = tool:Clone()
		toolclone.Parent = toolfolder
	end
end)
