  1. I try to Destroy the tool in Player Backpack

  2. attempt to index nil with ‘Destroy’

  3. I try to solve the problem, and then I Play the game and check my Backpack in player.Backpack when the tool is Equipped, it’s gone from the backpack, when You Unequip the tool then it will back to the player backpack, and the script works smoothly.

Here is the script :

	for _, player in pairs (game.Players:GetChildren()) do
			local char = player.Character
			char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = lobbySpawn.CFrame
			if InRound.Value == false then
				local 	redClone = player.Backpack:GetChildren() do
					redClone.RedHyperLaser:Destroy()
				end
			else
				local	blueClone = player.Backpack:GetChildren() do
					blueClone.BlueHyperLaser:Destroy()

any suggestion will be appreciated!:grinning:

local redClone = player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("RedClone") 
redClone:Destroy()

When the tool is equipped, it’s actually parented to the Player’s Character

To fix your issue, just simply implement 2 checks:

for _, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    local Char = Player.Character
    Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = lobbySpawn.CFrame

    if InRound.Value == false then
        if Char:FindFirstChild("RedHyperLaser") then
            Char.RedHyperLaser:Destroy()
        elseif Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("RedHyperLaser") then
            Player.Backpack.RedHyperLaser:Destroy()
        end
    end
end

I tried this, But it’s nil because the Tool Parent is Player.Character. Big Thanks To @JackscarIitt

How do i Implement this script for 2 Tools ?
because I got 2 tools for each team.
Red team variable is = RedHyperLaser
Blue team variable is = BlueHyperLaser

if InRound.Value == false then
				
				if char:FindFirstChild("RedHyperLaser") then
					char.RedHyperLaser:Destroy()
				elseif player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("RedHyperLaser") then
					player.Backpack.RedHyperLaser:Destroy()

Couple ways, but I’d just go through the Player’s Backpack and check if the names are equal to that

For the character check, maybe you could implement it like this but I’m not exact:

for _, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    local Char = Player.Character
    Char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = lobbySpawn.CFrame

    if InRound.Value == false then
        if Char:FindFirstChild("RedHyperLaser") or Char:FindFirstChild("BlueHyperLaser") then
            Char.RedHyperLaser:Destroy() or Char.BlueHyperLaser:Destroy()
        end

        for _, Tool in pairs(Player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do        
           if Tool.Name == "RedHyperLaser" or Tool.Name == "BlueHyperLaser" then
               Tool:Destroy()
           end
        end

    end
end
