Hi guys, currently i’m working in a project witch it needs to check i a player has any type of a item inside the character.

i tried so far some scripts but no one is currently working:

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
	
local character = player.Character
--

if character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") then
	print("has a item")
elseif not character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") then
	print("hasn't a item")
end

Can anyone help me?

thanks

You need to make does player has tool in backpack.

local backpack = player.Backpack

change “if character:FindFirstChildOfClass”.to “backack.FindFirstChildOfClass”

That doesn’t work, but i need to know if a player has in his hand (Active) a tool, not if a player has in the backpack (Inventory) the item.

here is the script:

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

local plr_backpack = player.Backpack
--

if plr_backpack:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") then
	print("has a item")
elseif not plr_backpack:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") then
	print("hasn't a item")
end

I think you can try doing a new variable that is named “equipped” or smth that is set to false and a tool path.

toolname.Equipped:Connect(function) -- Change "toolname" to anything you set as path
       equipped = true
end)

When tool is equipped

toolname.Unequipped:Connect(function) -- Change "toolname" to anything you set as path
       equipped = false
end)

When is unequipped

If equipped == true then
      print("has a item")
end

Add this at the end of script

Mh this should work, I will try this later.

[VisuallyFX (Sean)]

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
	
local character = player.Character

for _, Tool in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do
if Tool:IsA("Tool") then
print("Has a tool in hand")
end
end

or to check if a player has a specific tool in their hand

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
	
local character = player.Character
local YOURTOOL
for _, Tool in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do
if Tool:IsA("Tool") and Tool == YOURTOOL  then
print("Has a tool in hand")
end
end

Solution my post if it works!

yes it definitely works, this was a simple solution! thanks anyway! The problem was that I located the player and character outside the function, so the for loop returned “nil”.
