Hello. I have a tool that can be equipped if a player clicks on it and it will move to game.Lighting. Now I want the tool to respawn on the map if the player dies. Here’s my scirpt.

    local tool = game.ReplicatedStorage["Blue Flag"]
    local flag = script.Parent
    local click = script.Parent.ClickDetector

    local function pickup(player)
    	local Player = game.Workspace[player.Name]
    	tool.Parent = Player
    	flag.Parent = game.Lighting
    	if Player.Humanoid.Died then
    		flag.Parent = game.Workspace
    	end
    end

    click.MouseClick:Connect(pickup)

Thanks in advance

Why you move it to game.Lighting? Try to move it into game.ServerStorage

You have some issues with your code

  • It’s only going to give the tool once regardless, you don’t clone the tool, you just parent the one in Replicated

  • Died is not a property, it’s an event.

  • The way you get the character is weird, if you got the player instance, just use player.Character

  • A bit of a preference but Lighting as a storage place is kinda old and you should use somewhere such as ServerStorage

  • If someone is dead and clicks on the flag, they will pick it up regardless and the event wont happen, you should probably have a check that only allows them to pick it up if their health is greater than 0

local tool = game.ReplicatedStorage["Blue Flag"]
local flag = script.Parent
local click = script.Parent.ClickDetector

local function pickup(player)
	local character = player.Character
	if character.Humanoid.Health <= 0 then
		return
	end
	
	tool:Clone().Parent = character
	flag.Parent = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
	
	character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
		flag.Parent = workspace
	end)	
end

click.MouseClick:Connect(pickup)
