Need help on proximity prompt and tool

[Deb0rahAliWilliams (MsDeborah)]

Try to replace:

print(ToolEquipped.Name)

With:

print(ToolEquipped)

See if it changes anything.

[iiheavenlymarsx (4him)]

It says nil in output, even through I have the tool equipped. That’s weird.

[ElipsGames (ElipsOnYT)]

Send a pickture of the workspace please

[iiheavenlymarsx (4him)]

?

[ElipsGames (ElipsOnYT)]

Send a pickture of the script and output when tou run it

[iiheavenlymarsx (4him)]

script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function(Player)
	
	local ToolEquipped = Player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass('Tool')
	print(ToolEquipped)
	
	local toolName = ToolEquipped.Name

		if toolName == "Cake Dough" then
			ToolEquipped:Destroy()
			local Clone = game.ServerStorage["Rolled Cake Dough"]:Clone()
			Clone.Parent = Player.Backpack
			print("working!")

		elseif toolName == "Cookie Dough" then
			ToolEquipped:Destroy()
			local Clone = game.ServerStorage["Rolled Cookie Dough"]:Clone()
			Clone.Parent = Player.Backpack
			print("working!")

		elseif toolName == "Cupcake Dough" then
			ToolEquipped:Destroy()
			local Clone = game.ServerStorage["Rolled Cupcake Dough"]:Clone()
			Clone.Parent = Player.Backpack
			print("working!")

		elseif toolName == "Mochi Dough" then
			ToolEquipped:Destroy()
			local Clone = game.ServerStorage["Rolled Mochi Dough"]:Clone()
			Clone.Parent = Player.Backpack
			print("working!")

		elseif toolName == "Muffin Dough" then
			ToolEquipped:Destroy()
			local Clone = game.ServerStorage["Rolled Muffin Dough"]:Clone()

Let me copy your situation and get to solution making

[ElipsGames (ElipsOnYT)]

Works for me (dont mind thissss)

[ElipsGames (ElipsOnYT)]

I know your problem you art equiping the cake do dough

[iiheavenlymarsx (4him)]

I equipped the cake through? I’m not sure.

[ElipsGames (ElipsOnYT)]

You try it with the cake dough outlined blue

[iiheavenlymarsx (4him)]

Still doesn’t work if I use any of the cakes.

@iiheavenlymarsx You might want to try and inspect the scripts which revolve around editing the Player’s backpack.

In the meanwhile, I’ll link this post as an alternative workaround for this issue:

I can't find if a player has a tool in the character

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer local character = player.Character for _, Tool in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do if Tool:IsA("Tool") then print("Has a tool in hand") end end or to check if a player has a specific tool in their hand local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer local character = player.Character local YOURTOOL for _, Tool in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do if Tool:IsA("Tool") and Tool == YOURTOOL then print("Has a tool in hand") end end…

(Just delete the Player variable and replace it with the ProximityPrompt being triggered. If this works, do mark this as the solution of this post.)

Thanks, I’ll try it out.

I think that’s just because you don’t have the original tool on your side.

[ElipsGames (ElipsOnYT)]

It takes the tool away dhdjdjdjrjr

[Vertires (Person)]

you dont have the tool in your Place

[ElipsGames (ElipsOnYT)]

I had a tool called cookiedough
