How to make a tool kick the player who used it

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want a tool that is supposed to be meant for a joke and when they use it I want it to play a animation then kick them, How do I make it kick them?


local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(onActivation)
local tool = script.Parent
tool.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack

function onActivation()
	print("Tool activated")
	
	player:Kick("log") 
	
	
end

tool.Activated:Connect(onActivation)

This is what i have but it won’t work

#2

can you make sure the player isn’t nil? can you make the script print the player variable. also did you get any errors?

#3

Just tested your script. the player is nil.

i did just make my own rendition and it works fine, you may have to edit a few things.

tool = script.Parent.Parent -- where the tool is
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	local char = script.Parent.Parent.Parent -- Where the character is. When the tool is equipped, the tool is in the character's model.
	print(char) -- confirming by printing the character's name. if this is nil / doesn't print then the character wasn't found.
	local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char) -- gets the player.
	plr:Kick("Begone") -- kicks player.
end)

@snobW0lf hope this helps!

100% guaranteed to work. Put this in a server Script.

local tool = script.Parent
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
    local char = tool.Parent
    local plr = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
    if plr then
        plr:Kick("log")
    end
end)

I don’t understand your code.

local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(onActivation)

This is wrong - functions aren’t player characters?! Set it to game.Players.LocalPlayer but only if you are using a LocalScript.

First off, to kick a player. You must have a player var
to get a player. You must have a char or a plr var of it selfs
When player equip a tool, it goes to a characters so we can get a id

local plr = nil
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
if plr == nil then
local char = script.Parent
plr = game.Player:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
end
end)

Now the activation just simple and i think you can do it

I am well aware of how you kick a player. Clearly, you didn’t understand what I meant.

My point was, his statement “game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(onActivation)” does not make sense because he is trying to get a player from a function, rather than a character. Obviously, it will return nil because functions aren’t characters.

#8

I agree with you since his script didnt make sense.

#9

Tool.Activated (roblox.com)
this article sure that he doesnt understand with it. Remember that a activated is only a event and it doesnt give any parameters

#10

GetPlayerFromCharacter actually does exist if you didn’t know.

#12

…

I don’t recall denying its existence. I was saying that onActivation is not a character and therefore passing it into GetPlayerFromCharacter will never return a player since functions are not characters.

Please read what I say properly before making unfounded comments. I say this not because I intend to be hostile towards you or anyone else, but to express my frustration with these easily avoidable misinterpretations.

#13

My apologizes if I sounded hostile. I just wanted to let you know in case you didn’t, since you didn’t state whether you did or not. Other than that you are correct.

#14

No, I was apologising in advance for potentially sounding hostile in my most recent message. You weren’t hostile at all.

I didn’t explicitly specify whether I knew the function existed or not because it’s implied that I know it exists, just that it will never work the way it should so long as an invalid argument is passed.

This should work in a local script:


local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local tool = script.Parent
tool.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack

function onActivation()
	print("Tool activated")
	
	player:Kick("log") 
	
	
end

tool.Activated:Connect(onActivation)
