ProximityPrompt placing food script issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m trying to make whenever I trigger a proximity prompt, I can turn a food tool I have in a player’s hand go into a folder in the workspace and position itself where I want. The problem is when I do char:FindFirstChild(“Food”), nothing happens. I’ve tried to move it around, use a remote event because I want the part spawned on the client-side. I used FindFirstChildWhichIsA and then checked that tools name but it didn’t work.

I also have another script, this script(not the script below)instances the tool I’m referencing to and creates a name for it.

local part = workspace.SmackFoodPart
part.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(plr)
	print(plr)
	local char = plr.Character
	print(char)
	if char:FindFirstChild("Food") then
		print(char:FindFirstChild("Food"))
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.FoodEvent:FireClient(plr)
		print("Success")
	elseif plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Hammer") or plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Charred Hammer") then
		local hum = plr.Character.Humanoid
		local root = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart
		local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
		animation.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=15518396323"
		local animtrack = hum:LoadAnimation(animation)
		root.CFrame = workspace.HammerTeleport.CFrame
		hum.WalkSpeed = 0
		hum.JumpPower = 0
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.AnvilCamEvent:FireClient(plr)
		for i = 1,5 do
			animtrack:Play()
			task.wait(1.25)
		end
		hum.WalkSpeed = 16
		hum.JumpPower = 50
	end
end)

There is also just a print message in the local script I’m firing to.

Could you tell if you get any errors or something like that?

No errors in the output. The if statement never work.

try “if char.Food then” instead of “if char:FindFirstChild(“Food”) then” I don’t think it will fix it but it is an alternative

In the output it says food is not a valid member of workspace.Violet_sheer

“Food is not a valid member of Model “Workspace.Violet_sheer””

do you have the object called food in your workspace and maybe you forgot to name it with capital F

My player’s character is in the workspace and my player is holding the tool.

so the tool is placed in starterpack right

Maybe it’s because I’m calling my tool “Food” in another script?

No, a player makes the tool with a script I made, It’s like making a burger.

oh ok you know you can also put all the tools in starterpack and than you can say like if you have done this than your old tool with one layer will become 2 layers by adding a remove function to the script that removes the first tool and than you do another thing and than there will be added a third layer and it goes so on

This is a local script of when a proximity prompt is triggered:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.MakeFoodEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local plate = workspace:WaitForChild("Handle")
	local num = -3
	local parts = workspace:WaitForChild("PlacingPartsFolder"):GetChildren()
	local tool = Instance.new("Tool", plr.Backpack)
	tool.GripPos = tool.GripPos + Vector3.new(0,1,0)
	tool.GripUp = tool.GripUp + Vector3.new(-100,0,0)
	tool.Name = "Food"
	plate.Parent = tool
	plate.CanCollide = false
	for i,v in pairs(parts) do
		local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint", plate)
		weld.Part0 = plate
		weld.Part1 = v
		v.Parent = tool
		v.Anchored = false
		v.CanCollide = false
		v.Position = v.Position + Vector3.new(0,-0.25,0)
	end
end)

Is that regarding the food stacking or this food script. I can place food and stack it and turn it into a tool. The problem is I can’t get the tool when the player is holding it.

create something that even triggers it like this
"
local tool = char:FindFirstChild(“Food”)
if tool then
– Your code here
end
"

local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent.ProximityPrompt

ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
local character = player.Character

if character then
    local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
    local tool = character:FindFirstChild("Food")

    print("Player:", player.Name)
    print("Humanoid:", humanoid)
    print("Tool:", tool)

    if humanoid and tool then
        -- Player has the "Food" tool
        print(player.Name .. " is holding the Food tool!")

        -- Your code here to handle the tool being held
    else
        -- Player doesn't have the "Food" tool
        print(player.Name .. " doesn't have the Food tool.")
    end
end

end)
