One object being held at a time

[XJurrasicX (jurrasic)]

I’m using a hold system, and I’m wondering how to make it so the player can only hold one block at once. How would I achieve this? (A event is fired so I’m not sure if that’d help)

local ClickDetector = script.Parent.ProximityPrompt
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local PS = game:GetService("Players")
local HoldEvent = RS:WaitForChild("HoldEvent")

ClickDetector.Triggered:Connect(function(Player)
	local LeftArm = Player.Character:WaitForChild("Left Arm")
	local Humanoid = Player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local Weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
	local leftarmpos = nil
	script.Parent.CFrame = LeftArm.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, -1.5, 0)
	ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 0
	Weld.Parent = script.Parent
	Weld.Part0 = script.Parent
	Weld.Part1 = LeftArm
	script.Parent.Anchored = false
	script.Parent.CanCollide = false
	HoldEvent:FireClient(Player)
	HoldEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
		Weld:Destroy()
		script.Parent.CanCollide = true
		HoldTrack:Stop()
		wait(10)
	end)
end)

HoldEvent = RS:WaitForChild("HoldEvent")

Possibly you could add a value to the player object, such as IntValue. Then in the click detector triggered event add 1 to that value. Check if Player.MaxItemsHeld.Value <= 0 then allow the player to pick up the item. Set MaxItemsHeld.Value back to 0 when the player lets go.

I used IntValue in this case because it could allow for the player to hold more items if you wish for that. Otherwise you could just use BoolValue to achieve a single pick up. i.e., true if something is held, false if nothing is held
