Hello I’m working on a game based on booga booga and I have a issue with my hotbar system

How do I make it so the items don’t disappear in backpack when equipped to character
Code:

local hotbar = script.Parent:GetChildren()
game:GetService('StarterGui'):SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)
local lastnum = nil
local equip = {
	[1] = false,
	[2] = false,
	[3] = false,
	[4] = false,
	[5] = false,
	[6] = false
	
}
local nums = {
	[1] = "One",
	[2] = "Two",
	[3] = "Three",
	[4] = "Four",
	[5] = "Five",
	[6] = "Six"
}

local inputservice = game:GetService("UserInputService")

inputservice.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameprocessed)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.One then
		print("e")
		script.Parent.invsound:Play()
		if equip[lastnum] ~= nil and lastnum ~= 1 then
			equip[lastnum] = false
			print(equip[lastnum])
		end
		equip[1] = not equip[1]
		if equip[1] == true then
			game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(script.Parent["1"].obj.Value)
		else
			game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
		end
		lastnum = 1
		print(equip[1])
		print(equip)
	end
end)
inputservice.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameprocessed)

I don’t see the problem, but you should probably condense all of the :Connects into one :Connect with an if statement for future readability.

The video shows the issue

When you equip a item the backpack removes the item until you unequip it

4

I see - I was just not looking at it very closely.

The problem might be in your refreshgui function:
when you equip an item, it goes out of the backpack, so maybe check the LocalPlayer.Character for items?

Also please replace the while wait() do with something better, like a RenderStepped connection or connect it to a tool being equipped/unequipped.

5

what is the issue exactly? I also don’t see an issue and I am confused what your are trying to say

6

When he equips a tool, the labels in the hotbar get messed up.

7

Ok I see. The code provided looks very messy. Im sure there is a better way to write it instead of doing 5 if statements for each item

Try making a dictionary of all the buttons and when something is equipped, check the item in that gui spot and then make the color grey instead of the 6 if statements for each loop. I think this may be the problem

8

Ok so what I’m trying to say any how to detect a equipped and unequipped items in a backpack since they disappear

9

Since the behavior of the backpack temporarily removes the tool when the player equips so it’s doing the switching in the video

Understand my problem better now?
