Thank you for catching those, fixed my source code.
Without the second ), I still get an error.
Oh, it is because you also had a .CharacterAdded connection, which you forgot to close.
This should fix it
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService ("ReplicatedStorage")
local tools = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild ("Tools")
function giveRandomTool(backpack)
local _tools = tools:GetChildren() -- NOTE: '_tools' is not the same as 'tools'
local randomTool = _tools[math.random(1,#_tools)]:Clone() -- we clone because we don't want the tool to be lost forever after giving it away
randomTool.Parent = backpack
end
-- I believe the problem was there was no connection to carry out the action, so nothing was done in the end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect (function (player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect (function (character)
local backpack = player:WaitForChild ("Backpack")
giveRandomTool (backpack) -- we insert into backpack everytime character spawns
end)
end)Do I still need custom backpack if it’s re-enabled after Gui interfereance?
No it’ll be fine. It’ll be waiting there once the backpack GUI comes back.
Hmm…
This still isn’t working.
Any other ideas?
Edit1: Im going to tes this script in a test environment and see if my other scripts are interfering with execution.
With just the script and Stabbers folder, I still got no result.
@njesk12
This is probably my noob mind and skills, but is there anything I needed to change in the script?

You need to change
local tools = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild ("Tools")
To:
local tools = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Stabbers")
Since you have your tools in there. If you’re using @ComplexMetatable’s script.
No it’s my bad! I forgot to add the correct the name of the folder in my source code! check my code for edits!
