How do I make it so when a player touches a part, it gives them a gear without duplicating?

Hello, I’m making a railgun arena in my game and currently, I have the gears in a separate team so that when touch part, it changes their team and resets them.I do however want to change this so that when a player walks on the team changing brick, it also gives them the railgun without duplicating or resetting and can be removed when it walks on another part - and be able to walk on the other part again and still give them the same gear.

There’s no script to give the player a railgun since the railgun is only given on a reset after a team change.

I would check if the railgun is in his backpack or character (equipped) already.

local part = ...
local railgun = ...
local name = railgun.Name

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") or hit.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")

    if humanoid then
       local character = humanoid.Parent
       local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
       local backpack = player.Backpack

       if not backpack:FindFirstChild(name) and not character:FindFirstChild(name) then
          railgun:Clone().Parent = backpack
       end
    end
end)

Add bool Value to the part set it to false and when player touches it it will change to true and when it’s true you can’t get the tool reply to me od you don’t understand cuz my English is bad

Bool value is a value that can be true or false, you can set it to true and to false in script so do something like that

-- it will work when script parent is part that gives you a tool and bool value is inside this part
local bool = script.Parent.Value

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
   if bool.Value == false then
       bool.Value = true
       -- give tool
    end
end)

Yes, as a serverscript.
So don’t give him a tool, just destroy it?
Make it

local part = ...
local railgun = ...
local name = railgun.Name

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") or hit.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")

    if humanoid then
       local character = humanoid.Parent
       local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
       local backpack = player.Backpack
       local found = backpack:FindFirstChild(name) or character:FindFirstChild(name)

       if found then 
          found:Destroy()
       end
    end
end)
