#22 
local Service = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CameraEquip")
local Equipped = false

Service.InputBegan:Connect(function(KeyboardInput)
	if KeyboardInput.KeyCode.Name == "G" then
         if Equipped == false then
		    event:FireServer(true)
            Equipped = true
         else 
            event:FireServer(false)
            Equipped = false
         end
	end
end)

Edit:
and now that I think of it, you don’t need this:

	humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
		humanoid:UnequipTools()
	end)

since the tool is automatically unequipped when the character is reset.

#23

There is still the problem of the tool disappearing, unfortunately. I don’t know why it’s still happening because I am not changing the parent of the tool like before.

#24

It means that it is waiting forever for the tool do this:

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Equip)
    local humanoid = Player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    local tool = Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Camera") or Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Camera")
	if Equip and tool then
		humanoid:EquipTool(tool)
	elseif not equip and not tool then
		humanoid:UnequipTools()
	end
	humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
		humanoid:UnequipTools()
	end)
end)
#25

I can’t rightfully say why that is happening because I’m busy testing both scripts and they work as intended.

Do you have any other scripts running that could be changing it?

#26

It might be a problem with another script because when the tool disappears, I’m pretty sure it is being destroyed and not returned to the player’s backpack.

#27

For example, in the tool I also have a weld and animation script.

#28

I don’t think those scripts are the culprit/s, firstly test to see if the tool is actually destroyed, if it is check if you have any other scripts that make changes to the tool.

#29

Yeah it is definitely destroyed for some reason. I will check.

#30

Just posting the two scripts together, I’ve also added a statement to the local script to make the backpack invisible so a player can’t use both ‘1’ and ‘G’ to equip/unequip the tool.

Script in ServerScriptService:

local Event = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
Event.Name = "CameraEquip"
Event.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Equip)
    local humanoid = Player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    local tool = Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Camera") or Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Camera")
	if Equip == true then
		humanoid:EquipTool(tool)
	else
		humanoid:UnequipTools()
	end
end)

Local script in StarterPlayerScripts:

local Service = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CameraEquip")
local Equipped = false
local CoreGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
CoreGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)

Service.InputBegan:Connect(function(KeyboardInput)
	if KeyboardInput.KeyCode.Name == "G" then
         if Equipped == false then
		    event:FireServer(true)
            Equipped = true
         else 
            event:FireServer(false)
            Equipped = false
         end
	end
end)

Thanks for that. I put it as the solution so people looking at this post don’t have to scroll through all the comments. I am going to put the scripts and tool in a baseplate alone and see if that works. That way I will know if it is another script causing the disappearing problem.

Okay cool, if you have any other problems you can just message me or reply on this thread.
