  1. What do you want to achieve? Fix my simple script.

  2. What is the issue? My script is not working.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I tried to look at DevForum but i din’t found an solution.

My script:

local event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ToolBackpackEvent")

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local char = player.Character
	local tool = player.Backpack.Gun
	print("tool parent is " .. tool.Parent)
end)

Its saying that the gun is not a parent of the player’s backpack, why this is happening?

This seems really weird, can you show the error message, and an image of the backpack and its children in the explorer.

It’s not saying gun is not a valid member, it’s saying Killstreak is not a valid member.

May I ask, what is the purpose of this function, clearly the tool, which is player.Backpack.Gun has a parent of player.Backpack, so why are you checking this?

#8

try to search the gun with
player.Backpack:WaitForChild("Gun")

#9

Try this?

local event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ToolBackpackEvent")

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local char = player.Character
	local tool = player.Backpack:WaitForChild("Gun")
	print("tool parent is " .. tool.Parent)
end)

the gun was cloned and placed in the backpack from client-side
or if the tool didnt appear on the toolbar, it was deleted by some script

You can’t get tools from the server that were placed by the client. You need to fire a RemoteEvent to place it in their backpack.

do you have a local script that calls the remote event?

Yes,

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local rs = game.ReplicatedStorage
local Event = rs.CharEvent
local backpack = rs.CharBackpack


script.Parent.Changed:Connect(function()
	if script.Parent.Value == 4 then
		Event:FireServer() 
	else
		backpack:FireServer()
		
	end
	
end)

That script isn’t firing the same event that the server script is having problems with. They’re named differently. What LocalScript fires the ToolBackpackEvent RemoteEvent?

Can you show the error line and the model where it’s positioned at?
