Hey there,
I need help cloning a tool into the players’ backpack.
This is my script:
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local function Grab()
-- what to go here?
end
script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(Grab)
Is that a LocalScript or server script?
Make sure it’s a server script if it isn’t, and change your code to this:
--//Services
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
--//Variables
local Tool = ServerStorage.MyCoolTool --//Reference your tool
local Part = script.Parent
local ProximityPrompt = Part.ProximityPrompt
--//Functions
ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
local newTool = Tool:Clone()
newTool.Parent = player.Backpack
end)
If you want it to only be grabbed once, here’s the code for that:
--//Services
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
--//Variables
local Tool = ServerStorage.MyCoolTool --//Reference your tool
local Part = script.Parent
local ProximityPrompt = Part.ProximityPrompt
--//Functions
ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
if player:FindFirstChild(Tool.Name) then
return
end
local newTool = Tool:Clone()
newTool.Parent = player.Backpack
end)
Will check it out, Thanks for the reply!
You would want to put the item into the thing called “backpack” in the player instance. You should be doing this server side as well.
That code does work, but I can still equip it multiple times.
To check if a player has a tool
if Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(Tool.Name) or Player.Character:FindFirstChild(Tool.Name) then
return
end
You also need to check the character, because when they hold a tool it is not in their Backpack, but it is in their character
Let me record a video, give me a second.
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(Player)
if Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("ToolName") or Player.Character:FindFirstChild("ToolName") then
print("Player has tool already")
else
local Tool = ServerStorage:WaitForChild("ToolName"):Clone()
Tool.Parent = Player.Backpack
end
end)
Try do something like this, it worked fine for me.
Here is a video
this shoud be work without dups
local Tool = ST.Tool --tool
local PP = script.Parent --proximityprompt
PP.Triggered:Connect(
function(player)
if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(Tool.Name) then
return
end
local newTool = Tool:Clone()
newTool.Parent = player.Backpack
end
)Trying it out!
No, if you hold the tool it will go into their character, and you’re only checking the backpack, but not the character
