04:24:52.801 Backpack is not a valid member of MeshPart "Workspace.Battery" - Server - PickUpScript:13

#24

Inside the pickupBattery function the batteryClone’s Parent needs to be set to player.Backpack, you have it set to Tool.Backpack.

This is how it should be:

local function pickupBattery()
	local batteryClone = Tool:Clone()
	batteryClone.Parent = player.Backpack
end

It is giving me this error – 04:30:36.289 Workspace.Map.KillArea.Batteries.Battery.PickUpScript:13: attempt to index nil with 'Backpack' - Server - PickUpScript:13

@GiveMeABloxy
Would it be easier if I sent it to you, in a Kit?

#27

Wait is this in a local script or server script? You don’t have a player variable for that function. Either way, if you pass the Player parameter from the ProximityPrompt’s Triggered event to the pickupBattery function that will work.

Here is what the new code would look like:

local ToolNames = {"Battery"} -- Change Item to your item name and move it to ServerStorage
local Storage = game.ServerStorage.RareItems


local Part = script.Parent
local ProximityPrompt = Part:WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt")

local folder = workspace.Map.Zones.BatteryZone
local tool = game.Workspace.Map.KillArea.Batteries.Battery

local function pickupBattery(Player)
	local batteryClone = Tool:Clone()
	batteryClone.Parent = Player.Backpack
end

local function moveBattery()
	local toolSpawns = folder:GetChildren()
	Tool.CFrame = toolSpawns[math.random(1,#toolSpawns)].CFrame + Vector3.new(0,1,0) --//Picks one random spawn's CFrame with Y offset of 1 stud.
end

ProximityPrompt.Triggered:connect(function(Player)
	if Player and Player.Character then
		local Backpack = Player:WaitForChild("Backpack")
		for i = 1, #ToolNames do
			local Tool = Storage:FindFirstChild(ToolNames[i])
			if Tool then
				if Backpack:FindFirstChild(Tool.Name) == nil then
					moveBattery()
					pickupBattery(Player)
				end	
			end
		end
	end
end)

This is a ServerScript it is in Workspace.

How about we make it that when the Player gets the Battery it will Destroy() the current Battery (the Battery the Players has just achieved) and wait (1) then the Battery will Spawn in a different area.
