Round System adding tool to starter gear

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Im trying to make a round system that gives the players tools in startergear but
not sure how to make the tool get added to starter gear when a player joins during the round.
Ive try using Players:GetChildren() but it only gives the tool to players that are in the game.

What should i use to make it work when a player joins the round.

2

dont put it in Starter Gear put it in Backpack

3

Try doing tool.Parent = player.Backpack

4

I add it to starter gear so the player will spawn with it, and remove it when the round is over.

5

example:
local clone = game.ServerStorage.tool:Clone()
clone.Parent = player.Backpack

6

sorry forgot to mention, I also use backpack to give it to the player at the start of the round

7

do player.Backpack.Tool:Destroy()

8

but when a new player joins they dont have the tools when i use players:GetChildren()

9

Do a check when a new player joins it gives the player the tool

10

Are you making a fps game then do a play button

11

I dont think i can do a play button, should i be using players.PlayerAdded()?

You can do something simple like have a function for giving gear to players, and have it run on a for loop, and run when a player joins. Like this:

local PS = game:GetService("Players")
local RoundStartEvent = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("RoundStartEvent") --Bindable Event in ServerStorage which is fired when the round starts (should be fired by another script that handles rounds)

local function giveWeapons(plr)
	--Code to give the player the appropriate weapons
end

PS.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	giveWeapons(plr)
end

RoundStartEvent.Event:Connect(function()
	local plrs = PS:GetPlayers()
	for i,v in pairs(plrs) do
		giveWeapons(v)
	end
end

Edit: You can also have a function firing whenever a player dies and respawns.

I think this could work, but how do i make the player added function only fire when the round starts.

You can have a variable in ServerStorage that dictates whether the round is started or not.
Here is a script edited to by like that:

local PS = game:GetService("Players")
local SS = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local RoundOn = SS:WaitForChild("RoundOn") --A BoolValue Object which is set by another script or module handling the rounds.
local RoundStartEvent = SS:WaitForChild("RoundStartEvent") --Bindable Event in ServerStorage which is fired when the round starts (should be fired by another script that handles rounds)

local function giveWeapons(plr)
	--Code to give the player the appropriate weapons
end

PS.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	if RoundOn.Value then
		giveWeapons(plr)
	end
end

RoundStartEvent.Event:Connect(function()
	if RoundOn.Value then
		local plrs = PS:GetPlayers()
		for i,v in pairs(plrs) do
			giveWeapons(v)
		end
	end
end

I also changed it so that it doesn’t give the round weapons if the variable is set incorrectly, so make sure to set the BoolValue to true before firing the BindeableEvent (in this case, obviously you could put all of this in one module or script if you wanted to.

alright, thanks i think i know what to do now
