local Tools = {
    PFoodCan = "PFood",
    WaterBucket = "WBucket",
    SilverCoin = "SilverCoin",
    GoldCoin = "GoldCoin"
}

function CheckTools(Player)
    for ToolName, GiveTool in pairs(Tools) do
        if Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(ToolName) then
            local GiveToolFood = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Shop").Frame["GiveTool"..GiveTool]

            GiveToolFood.Text = "Purchased"
            GiveToolFood.GiveTool:Destroy()

            print(ToolName.." found")
        else
            print(ToolName.." not found")
        end
    end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
        
    while true do
        if Player then
            CheckTools(Player)

            task.wait(Random.new():NextNumber(30, 60))
        else
            break
        end
    end
end)

does this work?

Use a while wait(x) do loop.

#5

won’t be much different then a while true do

besides use task.wait()

#6

I replaced :Remove() with :Destroy()
so the code is updated

#7

Thanks!, it works i had changed the name of the item that’s why it wasn’t working

#8

yea in case you need to add more tools
make the index the name of the tool

the value is used for the GiveTool child of Frame
the first one is “PFood”, so the GiveToolFood variable would be equal to Frame.GiveToolPFood

hope this helps out a bit
