Hi i have been trying for a few hour now but cant seem to fix it i have a script to keep inventory items on death and it works but it also duplicates starter pack items
here is the script
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

local items = Instance.new("Folder")

plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)

	local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	for i, v in pairs(items:GetChildren()) do
		v.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end
	hum.HealthChanged:Connect(function()

		if hum.Health <= 0 then
			if char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") then
				char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool").Parent = items
			end
			for i, v in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
				v.Parent = items
			end
		end

	end)

end)

end)

Is there a reason why you do not use the StarterGear?

Did you set the Parent of the folder to a certain place?

Sounds like the perfect case to use StarterGear honestly. When a player purchases the weapon, it gets added to their StarterGear and one added to their Backpack for the first time.

StarterGear is a container that is automatically inserted into each Player when the player joins the
game. When a player spawns, the contents of that player's StarterGear is copied into the player's
Backpack. Additionally, when a player connects to a game that permits gear, all of the appropriate
gear Tool objects that the player owns are inserted into that player's StarterGear.

its parent is serverscriptservice

if i put a certain weapon into starter gear from what i know its global and aplys to all players

No, it isn’t. You’re thinking of the StarterPack service.

Unlike StarterPack, StarterGear is not a service but rather a child of each Player object --
this means that its contents are player-specific so that each player can have different Tools
within their StarterGear. It is not replicated to any client, including the owning player.

where is starter gear located?

#10

I am a little confused because when you create the folder where is the line of code where you parent it?

It is located inside the Player object. You can access it via doing this-

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local starterGear = plr:WaitForChild("StarterGear")
    -- from here add the gear
end)

ok so basically in server script service i have 2 scripts one keep your inventory and the other one is SUPOSSED to limit it so only one of each tool is allowed

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

local items = Instance.new("Folder")

plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)

	local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	for i, v in pairs(items:GetChildren()) do
		v.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end
	hum.HealthChanged:Connect(function()

		if hum.Health <= 0 then
			if char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") then
				char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool").Parent = items
			end
			for i, v in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
				v.Parent = items
			end
		end

	end)

end)

end)
This one keeps inventory

#14

this one is suppoesed to only allow one of each tool
local hasAwardedItems = false
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
if hasAwardedItems then
return
end
– give them the item
hasAwardedItems = not hasAwardedItems
end)

Instead of doing all that, you could use StarterGear instead which will accomplish the same thing.
When you go to add a player’s weapon when they purchased, you just have to do

local weaponPurchased = path_to_weapon:Clone()
weaponPurchased.Parent = player.StarterGear

EDIT
Try this out in game and you’ll understand what I mean.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player:WaitForChild("StarterGear")
    local gear = Instance.new("Tool", player.StarterGear)
    for i = 1, 5 do
        player:LoadCharacter()
        wait(7)
    end
end)

Pay attention to the player’s backpack.

You could probably check if the player died then create a if statement to check if they already had the weapon

If they used the StarterGear they wouldn’t have to do this in the first place. :xd:
