How do you check to see if a player has a certain tool?

Hey, so pretty much im trying to see if a player has a designated tool or not. It doesnt give me any errors in console. Code:

clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	local Tool = plr.Backpack:FindFirstChild("LadderTool")  or plr.Character:FindFirstChild("LadderTool")
	if Tool then
		if equipped then
			ladderEvent:FireServer()
			script.Parent:Destroy()
		end
	elseif Tool == nil then
		print("No tool found")
	end
end)

Where is equipped being defined? I believe the script isn’t working because the variable is either nil or false.

top of the script. What should It look like instead?

local equipped = false

(Forgot to include mb)

Also it wasnt working without the

		if equipped then
			ladderEvent:FireServer()
			script.Parent:Destroy()
		end

When a tool is equipped the tool will be parented to the player character/model.
and when it is unequipped it will be parented to the backpack.
So, there is no need for the equipped Boolean.

If you are using a server script you cant really define the player outside the function, you gotta do it in the click function.
As the first variable in the function is the player who clicked.

Lastly, when a player has a tool equipped it does not allow them to activate click detectors. So best case right now is to find the tool in their backpack instead.

local clickDetector = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ClickDetector")

clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player) --Get the player who clicked!
    --Find the tool!!!!!
	local findTool = player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("LadderTool")
	
    --Check if tool is there!
	if findTool then
		print("found!")
        ladderEvent:FireServer()
		script.Parent:Destroy()
	else
		print("tool not found!")
	end
end)
