Placing a item on a players backpack

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello everyone!
I’m doing a tool system that places a item on your backpack when you click a part,here’s the script!

local itemHandler = script.Parent
local itemsFinder = game.ServerStorage.Items
local Players = game:GetService(“Players”)

function getItem()
if itemsFinder:FindFirstChild(itemHandler.Name) then
print(“This is working!”)

  local player = Players.LocalPlayer
  if player then
  	local clonedItem =  itemsFinder:FindFirstChild(itemHandler.Name):Clone()
  	clonedItem.Parent = player.Backpack
  end

else
print(“No”)
end

end

itemHandler.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(getItem)

Yes,the issue is on the post,but i can’t find a way to access a player’s backpack through a server script.

LocalPlayer can not be used inside of server scripts. It will return nil. Instead, for the function, add a parameter called “player” and it should work. Like this:

function getitem(player)
end

clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(getitem)

You can get the player from the click detector and then you put the item in the player’s backpack.

You know you can get the player that clicked the part right?
Try this

local itemHandler = script.Parent
local itemsFinder = game.ServerStorage.Items
local Players = game:GetService(“Players”)

function getItem(plr)
if itemsFinder:FindFirstChild(itemHandler.Name) then
print(“This is working!”)

  if plr then
  	local clonedItem =  itemsFinder:FindFirstChild(itemHandler.Name):Clone()
  	clonedItem.Parent = plr.Backpack
  end

else
print(“No”)
end

end

itemHandler.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(getItem)

Use
ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
–type the code to execute
end)

This should let you access the player. If this worked, mark this as a solution.
