So im trying to equip a tool but it’s not working why? Here’s part of the code

remotes.Equip.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, item, ItemType, condition)
	local selecteditem = game.ServerStorage.Equipment[item]:Clone()
			player.Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(selecteditem)	
end)

Thank you

Any errors?

If not, how are you firing the event? What does the FireServer look like?

	remotes.Equip:FireServer(items.Name, items.ItemType.Value, "Equipped")

Right now when you try it out, what happens? It just doesn’t equip you the tool or does something else happen? Add a print statement in the OnServerevent to see if it’s receiving the FireServer

Try putting the folder in ReplicatedStorage and try this out?

remotes.Equip.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, item, ItemType, condition)
	local selecteditem = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Equipment[item]
	player.Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(selecteditem:Clone())	
end)

Otherwise maybe try this first?

remotes.Equip.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, item, ItemType, condition)
	local selecteditem = game:GetService("ServerStorage").Equipment[item]
	player.Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(selecteditem:Clone())	
end)

Nope, still didn’t work

Just ot be clear, did you add the print before the FireServer or in the OnServerEvent, something like this?

remotes.Equip.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, item, ItemType, condition)
	print("Test")
	local selecteditem = game:GetService("ServerStorage").Equipment[item]
	player.Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(selecteditem:Clone())	
end)

Cause it could be that it’s not reaching the event?

In the OnServerEvent

That’s odd, it’s probably something else? What’s in your Equipment folder?

i fixed the problem, i just parented the tool to the character instead. Thanks for the help

You need to parent the tool before equipping it, parent it to the player’s backpack

I’m not sure if this is your case but

If this property RequiresHandle is on, but you don’t have a Part called Handle inside the tool it won’t equip

Also try parenting the tool to the workspace before trying to equip it
