Instance.new("Tool") issues

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi, I’m experimenting with a lot of code right now trying to figure out how to make things exploitable in my practice RPG I’m making right now. I have a module script that has the name, damage and price of my weapons in a table that I want tools, shops and npc drops to interact with. Anyways I’m trying to have the shop script I have create the tool when the player buys it inside of having the tools pre-made so the items can look different each time.

The problem I’m having through is that when I try to have a Part added into the tool, nothing appears on equip. Also the tool disappears out of the players backpack after 5 seconds of having it equiped. Heres my code :

game.Workspace.ShopBrick.ShopScript.Event.Event:Connect(function(character, item)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
	local tool = Instance.new("Tool", player.Backpack)
	local part = Instance.new("Part", tool)
	tool.Name = item
	local clone = tool:Clone()
	clone.Parent = player.StarterGear
	print("I work")
end)

What exactly is the problem here?

Try this.

game.Workspace.ShopBrick.ShopScript.Event.Event:Connect(function(character, item)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
	local tool = Instance.new("Tool", player.Backpack)
	local part = Instance.new("Part", tool)
    part.Name = "Handle"
	tool.Name = item
	local clone = tool:Clone()
	clone.Parent = player.StarterGear
	print("I work")
end)

Wow that actually worked, thank you! I’ll have to look into tools

Maybe it’s because the tool your cloning currently doesn’t have a parent.
So add a:
tool.Parent = [wherever you want to put it]

Sorry it wasn’t in code format, code format is broken to me.
