well i see you went crazy with your prints huh.
have you tried printing if your m1tool activated lequipped and such? go more crazy!!
also why do you have a cansendevent remote? is it needed?

basic questions out the way :smiley:

I figured out why, but i have a CanSendEvent because if the player dies sometimes it breaks the script, the script flips out and doesn’t know what to do, thus it stops working

I have a JanitorModuleService, which sorts and deletes stuff, last night while I was working on the M1ModuleService, I may have pressed backspace by accident without realising
