Hello,

So I’ve been making a sword fighting game, and when you enter the arena, I just can’t seem to figure out how to force the player to use the tool.

Objective:

I need to force the player to use the tool, but the tool is in the players StarterGui. How can this work?

Get their Humanoid and use Humanoid:EquipTool(x) replace “x” with the tool Instance.

Could you give me a code example, let’s say the tool is in startergui. The script is currently inside startergui. It is a server-sided script though.

local tool = -- tool here

for _, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
   -- loops through all the players in the game
  coroutine.wrap(function() -- this is so that other players can get the tool and wouldn't have to wait for someone
      local t = tool:Clone() -- clones the tool
      local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait() -- gets the player's character
      local hum = char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") -- get the humanoid

      hum:EquipTool(t) -- force equip the tool
  end)()
end
