Remove tool from ALL players when teleported back to lobby?

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    When they teleport back to the lobby, the sword in their inventory must be removed.
  2. What is the issue?
    I have tried multiple methods and none will work, I can’t remove the swords from the players.
  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub? (yes)
    I’ve tried looping through the playerlist, didn’t work, I’ve tried removing it when they touch a part in
    the lobby, that removed it, but made it so that they couldn’t get it back after.

you would just use a for i,v in pairs loop and use 2 conditions to remove the tool:

for i,v in pairs (game.Players:GetChildren()) do
if v:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword") then
v:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword"):Destroy()
elseif v.Character:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword") then
v.Character:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword"):Destroy()
else
print("player doesnt have sword")
end
end

@Ender_BX is on the right track with using for loops. Now if you want to remove all the tools and not just one you could do the following in a script,

for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do -- use :GetPlayers as it loops through players
    for i, tool in pairs(player:WaitForChild("Backpack"):GetChildren()) do -- loop through the players backpacks as they house the tools
        tool:Destroy() -- destroy every tool
    end
end

So wherever you have your function to teleport the players back to the lobby insert this chunk of code there.
