How to make tool only respawn once in backpack

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

so basically im trying to make an obby, and i would like it to have a bit of monetisation involved by giving players coils. im testing out a script i have where it prompts a pass when a player touches a part, it works perfectly fine. however, when i try to give the player its coil back when they die using a server script, it duplicates it infinitely from the replicated storage. im very close to finishing it and this is the last part.

code:

local mps = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local id = 1107699790
local coil = game.ReplicatedStorage.GravityCoil

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local own = mps:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(plr.UserId, id)
	if own == true then
		coil:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
	end
	local tool = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("GravityCoil")
	wait(5)
	if not tool then
		coil:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
		while true do
			wait(0.1)
			if plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health == 100 and not tool then
				coil:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
			end
		end
	end
end)

let me know how to achieve this, thank you!

Place the tool in StarterGear instead of the Backpack but only once like so to achieve that kind of behavior. Each player has their own StarterGear folder so you can choose which players you want to spawn with the given tool(s).

local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService('MarketplaceService')
local GravityCoil = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage'):WaitForChild('GravityCoil')
local GamePassId = 0

local function AddPlayer(Player)
    -- Selecting the second argument out of the `pcall` and validating whether or not it's `true`.
	local UserOwnsGamePass = select(2, pcall(MarketplaceService.UserOwnsGamePassAsync, MarketplaceService, Player.UserId, GamePassId)) == true

	if UserOwnsGamePass then
		local Backpack = Player:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('Backpack')
		
		-- If the backpack existed before StarterGear, give them the tool immediately.
		if Backpack then
			local Copy = GravityCoil:Clone()
			Copy.Parent = Backpack
		end

		local StarterGear = Player:WaitForChild('StarterGear')

		-- Make sure they respawn with the tool.
		if StarterGear then
			local Copy = GravityCoil:Clone()
			Copy.Parent = StarterGear
		end
	end
end

-- Add players that existed before the server script started.
for _, Player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
	AddPlayer(Player)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(AddPlayer)

Don’t forget to change GamePassId to the Game Pass ID.

hi @futureguy13

This should work although i haven’t tested:

Edit: i forgot to add in start of playerAdded function in CloneTool() player instance
CloneTool function check is player has Tool if he has then it clones to inventory
Edit2: Now i tested it works!

local mps = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local id = 1107699790 -- Id
local coil = ReplicatedStorage.GravityCoil

function CloneTool(plr:Player)
	local own = mps:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(plr.UserId, id)

	if own then
		coil:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
	end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	
	local Char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	
	local Hum = Char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

    CloneTool(plr)
	
	Hum.Died:Connect(function()
        task.wait(5)
		CloneTool(plr)
	end)
end)
