    After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!
    Well i dont see any typos heck i checked the folder there is no tool typo
--Server Script in ServerScriptService
local repRemote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local repStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local items = repStorage.Items
local remote = repRemote.GiveGear

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, Message, WindSword)
    if Message == "Giver Gear" then
        items[WindSword]:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
--We do the same thing but we change the tool
remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, Message, Insert)
    if Message == "Giver Gear" then
        items[Insert]:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
end
end)
end
end)
--- Gui Local Script
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    local remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("GiveGear")
    remote:FireServer("WindSword")
end)
-- The 2nd Gui Local Script
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    local remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("GiveGear")
    remote:FireServer("Insert")
end)

You can’t fire server in a server script, you have to fire the client, like

remote:FireClient(plr)

remote being the specific remote event you want to be fired

#3

wdym? i dont see FireServer in my server script

#4

are you talking about my local scripts?

#5 
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    local remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("GiveGear")
    remote:FireServer("WindSword")
end)
-- The 2nd Gui Script
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    local remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("GiveGear")
    remote:FireServer("Insert")
end)

it says FireServer in this part of the script(remote:FireServer(“WindSword”) and remote:FireServer("Insert))

#6

there local scripts not server scripts

#7

I’m dumb sorry lol I didn’t see that

#8

Your remote needs a parameter of message and windsword which you only pass only one argument

--Parameters needed ( Message, WindSword)
    remote:FireServer("WindSword")

you can do

    remote:FireServer("Giver Gear","WindSword")

Oh ok i see now wait but im going to test it first

#10

why when i click it again it gives me 2 and then i click it again it give me 3 and then 4 ect

#11

@NateOTB its multiplying every time i click it i want it to give me one everytime i click but it gives 2,3,4,5 ect the more i click it the more it multiplies

#12

maybe adding a debounce?
create a table insert the player after you gave the tool to the player .

local Table = {}

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, Message, WindSword)
    if Message == "Giver Gear" and not table.find(Table, plr ) then
        items[WindSword]:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
        table.insert(Table , plr)
#13

okay that worked thx so much you helped me alot thx

#14

That might be dangerous because hackers can use that event to get literally any item as many times as they want.

#15

not if theres no shop then whats the purpose

#16

They can fire it a lot of times really fast and lag the server (Creating a lot of objects). It’s very easy to do something like that

#17

then ill just use a security method in a different script

#18

@NateOTB i use the same deounce method on a different script and if i click on the gui button
it gives me one tool but if i click the other gui button with the same debounce method it doesnt give me the tool?

#19

@NateOTB it works welll sort of when i changed the other script to the debounce method i could click one of the gui button it would appear in my backpack but if i click the button gui again it doesnt do anything any fix to this?
