Parent property is locked

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I’m making a round type game where the player spawns in a lobby and then teleports to a fighting arena after a certain amount of time. The players are given a sword which they can use to kill the other players in the arena but if the time runs out, they are teleported back to the lobby and their swords are removed from their inventory.

  2. What is the issue?
    After two rounds the sword giving script breaks and I’m given this error The Parent property of ClassicSword is locked, current parent: NULL, new parent Backpack

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I’ve tried using Remove(), Destroy() and Debris but neither of them works.

Here is the code
LocalGiveSwordScript (ClientScript)

local InRound = game.ReplicatedStorage.InRound

local RepilcatedStorage1 = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local GiveSwordEvent = RepilcatedStorage1.RemoteGiveSwordEvent

InRound.Changed:Connect(function()
	if InRound.Value == true then 
		GiveSwordEvent:FireServer()
	end
end)

GiveSwordScript (ServerScript)

local RepilcatedStorage1 = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")

local GiveSwordEvent = RepilcatedStorage1.RemoteGiveSwordEvent

local Sword = RepilcatedStorage1.ClassicSword

local GiveSword = Sword:Clone()

GiveSwordEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	GiveSword.Parent = player.Backpack
end)

LocalDeleteSwordScript (ClientScript)

local RepilcatedStorage1 = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local DeleteSwordEvent = RepilcatedStorage1.RemoteDeleteSwordEvent

local InRound = game.ReplicatedStorage.InRound

InRound.Changed:Connect(function()
	if InRound.Value == false then
		DeleteSwordEvent:FireServer()
	end
end)

DeleteSwordScript (ServerScript)

local RepilcatedStorage1 = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local DeleteSwordEvent = RepilcatedStorage1.RemoteDeleteSwordEvent

DeleteSwordEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local character = player.Character
			if not character then
		else	
			if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword") then
				player.Backpack.ClassicSword:Destroy()
			end
			
			if character:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword") then
				character.ClassicSword:Destroy()
			end
		end
	end
end)

PS: I’m very new to programming and this is my first ever topic so any help possible would be
greatly appreciated.

Try putting GiveSword inside the Remote Event function:

GiveSwordEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local GiveSword = Sword:Clone()
	GiveSword.Parent = player.Backpack
end)

Thank you, I tested the code and it now works.
