Issue with Backpack List script [CharacterAutoLoads is off]

[jahoobas]

Hi!

1. What do you want to achieve? I need my GUI which shows all items in the Backpack to the player (NOT interactable)

2. What is the issue? It thinks that the backpack is empty, causing it to not do anything useful.

3. What solutions have you tried so far? I’ve tried moving it to a LocalScript, and tried having the function run when the character loads (as seen in the script.

Here’s my script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local bp = player.Backpack

function checkItems()
	print("Checking Items")
	--Remove all existing labels
	for i,e in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
		if e:IsA("TextLabel") then
			if e.SelectedBool == false then
				print("Removing")
				e:Destroy()
			end
		end
	end
	print("Passed removing area")
	local selectionVal = 1
	wait(0.1)
	print(bp:GetChildren())
	-- Create new labels
	for i,e in pairs(bp:GetChildren()) do
		print("Making new")
		if not script.Parent:FindFirstChild(e.Name) then
			print(e.Name.." is being made")
			local label = game.ReplicatedStorage.Item:Clone()
			label.Parent = script.Parent
			label.Name = e.Name
			label.Text = "["..tostring(selectionVal).."] "..e.ShowableName.Value

			selectionVal += 1
		end
	end
	print("Done")
end

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(checkItems)

bp.ChildAdded:Connect(checkItems)
bp.ChildRemoved:Connect(checkItems)
