Proper item checker script help

[shinonWasTaken (shinon)]

i’m not using any arrays at the moment, just basic info, that part of the script works fine.

Are you checking for a specific accessory in a player’s character?

[shinonWasTaken (shinon)]

If you checked the script you can understand what im trying to look for, in this case im checking

if cosmetic.Name == child.Name then

cosmetic being what is inside of the player while child is what is inside of the folder im looking thru to check if the name of the child and the cosmetic are the same and if so to not do anything/print() but if the item name isn’t the same then to give the player said item (child)

the issue in this script is that break makes it so the script doesn’t run anything else, im trying to avoid this, if i remove break itll print 5 times because pairs() is running depending on the amount of items found that are similar

Can you explain more about headFolder?

[shinonWasTaken (shinon)]

simple folder containing multiple items, currently only one but i plan on having more than one in the future

here’s all that “headfolder” in other words Cosmetic folder has.

here’s what is sending the Server Event btw

local function onMouseClick(player, click)
		local group = click.Parent.Parent.Parent
		local head = group:FindFirstChild('Head')
	local cosmetic = head:FindFirstChild('Cosmetic')
	
		clickedEvent:FireServer(Character, cosmetic)

	--pillarVFXConfig.onVFXPillar(group, timer, true)
	warn('mouse called')
end

if curious here’s what happens when you click on the “button”
it completely skips the second part of the script which its supposed to check if the player has the item already

no clue how good this is of a fix but its a fix

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local clickedEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('PillarClicked')
local childChangedEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('childChangedEvent')

local function onClick(player, character, headFolder)
	
	local found = false
	
	for _, child in (headFolder:GetChildren()) do
		if child:IsA('Model') or child:IsA('Accessory') then
			for _, cosmetic in character:GetDescendants() do
				if cosmetic:IsA('Model') or cosmetic:IsA('Accessory') then
					if cosmetic.Name ~= child.Name then
						print(child.Name, 'not found')
					else
						print(child.Name, 'found')
						found  = true
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
	
	if not found then
		for _, child in (headFolder:GetChildren()) do
			if child:IsA('Model') or child:IsA('Accessory') then

				local folder = character:FindFirstChild('Unusual_Inventory')
				local clone = child:Clone()
				local holder = clone:WaitForChild('plh_parent')

				childChangedEvent:FireClient(player, child)

				clone.Parent = folder
				holder.Anchored = true
			end
		end
	end
	
end

clickedEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(onClick)
