How would I add to this script “Equip tool in backpack” with button

When “SworsSlotEquipped” button is press, I want to equip in hand the tool in Backpack instead of having to click on the Backpack tool at the bottom of screen, and also for “SwordSlotUnequipped” to put the tool away

Also I every time I click to equipped on my gui I made it keeps giving me a Sword each time I click the button, I only want one. I’m guessing it has something to do with the remote event but I’m sure how to stop it.

local gui = game:GetService(“StarterGui”)

local item = script.Parent
local tool = game.ReplicatedStorage.ClassicSword
local purchased = script.Parent.Price
local swordSlotEquipped = gui.LobbyScreenGUI.InteractFrame.InventoryButton.InventoryFrame.InventoryScrollingFrame.InventoryVPFrame.SwordSlotEquipped
local swordSlotUnequipped = gui.LobbyScreenGUI.InteractFrame.InventoryButton.InventoryFrame.InventoryScrollingFrame.InventoryVPFrame.SwordSlotUnequipped

local function equipPurchasedItem()
if purchased.Text == “Equip” then
swordSlotUnequipped.Visible = true
swordSlotEquipped.Visible = false
purchased.Text = “Unequip”
print(“Nice new shinny sword!”)


	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.SwordRE:FireServer()	
end


end

local function unequipPurchasedItem()
if purchased.Text == “Unequip” then
swordSlotEquipped.Visible = true
swordSlotUnequipped.Visible = false
print(“Let’s Fight!”)
end
end

item.MouseButton1Click:Connect(equipPurchasedItem)
item.MouseButton1Click:Connect(unequipPurchasedItem)

Just in case I’m not understanding you correctly, you want to Equip a tool which is in the backpack?

You can do so with the following:

Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(TheRefrenceToTheToolInTheBackpack)

For putting the tool away, you’ll need to find the tool in the character and set the parent of the tool to the players backpack. If you want me to deep dive into your code a little bit more, I’m going to need both the server script as well as the client script for this, preferably in a code block.

Ok i them within the hour I’m AFK, thank you

this is the ServerScriptService script “SwordRE”

local tool = game.ReplicatedStorage.ClassicSword
local originalClone = tool:Clone()

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents:WaitForChild("SwordRE").OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
	originalClone:Clone().Parent = Player.Backpack
end)

The script I posted up top is the client

So, the following are your issues according to the post:

  1. It’s not auto equipping.
  2. You only want one sword.
  3. You want it to unequip as well.

Before you use this code I want to make it 100% clear that although this works, there are more efficient ways to do what I’m doing here. Personally I’d recommend using my script here as a guide and then changing stuff to make it cleaner and more efficent. I really just copy and pasted your script and made changes to fit your criteria here.

Keep in mind, I made this under the assumption that purchased.Text in the LocalScript can only be two values, Equip or Unequip. I’d recommend using elseif instead if it can be more than just those two.

Try the following for the server.

local tool = game.ReplicatedStorage.ClassicSword
local originalClone = tool

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents:WaitForChild("SwordRE").OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
		if Player.Character:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword") then return end
	if Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword") then
		Player.Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(Player.Backpack.ClassicSword)
	else
		originalClone:Clone().Parent = Player.Backpack
		Player.Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(Player.Backpack.ClassicSword)
	end
end)

Try the following for the Client

local gui = game:GetService("StarterGui")

local item = script.Parent
local tool = game.ReplicatedStorage.ClassicSword
local purchased = script.Parent.Price
local swordSlotEquipped = gui.LobbyScreenGUI.InteractFrame.InventoryButton.InventoryFrame.InventoryScrollingFrame.InventoryVPFrame.SwordSlotEquipped
local swordSlotUnequipped = gui.LobbyScreenGUI.InteractFrame.InventoryButton.InventoryFrame.InventoryScrollingFrame.InventoryVPFrame.SwordSlotUnequipped


item.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if purchased.Text == "Equip" then
		swordSlotUnequipped.Visible = true
		swordSlotEquipped.Visible = false
		game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.SwordRE:FireServer()
	else
		swordSlotEquipped.Visible = true
		swordSlotUnequipped.Visible = false
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
	end
end)

works good enough for me, thank you so much!

would it be smarter to put the server script into a Module script as a table so when i add more items later on, or should I keep it the way I have it?
