i simply want to make an inventory system , but i cant detect if backpack is changed.
i am only a starter so this code is a bit messy
my code:
while true do
wait()
local backpack = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("Backpack")
local inventory = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("inventory")
local gui = inventory:WaitForChild("maingui")
local items = gui:WaitForChild("items")
local template = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("template")
local function update()
print("update")
items:ClearAllChildren()
for i,v in pairs(backpack:GetChildren()) do
local item = v
local name = item.Name
local id = item:GetAttribute("id")
print(name)
end
end
backpack.ChildAdded:Connect(update)
backpack.AncestryChanged:Connect(update)
end
PS: this is a localscript.

You should try to do this with a loop so that it keeps checking over a period of time and updates. Hope this helps!

yes this works BUT:
i picked up 1 tool / item called “cosmite”
my code:
while true do
wait()
local backpack = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("Backpack")
local inventory = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("inventory")
local gui = inventory:WaitForChild("maingui")
local items = gui:WaitForChild("items")
local template = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("template")
local function update()
print("update")
items:ClearAllChildren()
for i,v in pairs(backpack:GetChildren()) do
local item = v
local name = item.Name
local id = item:GetAttribute("id")
print(name)
end
end
backpack.ChildAdded:Connect(update)
backpack.AncestryChanged:Connect(update)
end
output:

How many tools do you have in total inside your Inventory?
I think something that should be pointed out is how dependent this system is on client.
ChildAdded works on server and local.
There is no need for a loop
ONLY 1 tool called “cosmite” in the player’s backpack
with no loop,the thing dosen’t check
that doesn’t make sense that it wouldn’t work, unless you change the local variables later on somehow.
First of all, remove the while loop. There is no reason to have this in the first place, since it just creates connections over and over.
an example script would be appreciated
Just add this to your code:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
function characterAdded()
if player.Character then characterAdded() end

no need for a serverscript: it works on server and local
