Spawning an NPC using a Tool

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am trying to script a tool so it is able to spawn in an NPC I made.
When the tool is equipped and the player clicks their mouse the NPC will spawn in front of the player.
I have been having some trouble doing so though.
Can anyone help me with this?

So basically I have a model called ‘Player’ inside ReplicatedStorage that I want to be cloned into the workspace when a player has a certain tool equipped and the mouse being clicked.

Can you show the script that you have problem with?

This is the script I currently have for it which does not appear to be working as I thought it would:

local Tool = script.Parent;
local h = Tool.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”)

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function(Mouse)
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function(player)
local d=game.ReplicatedFirst.Player:Clone()
d.Parent=workspace
d:MoveTo(game:GetService’Players’[player].Character:FindFirstChild’HumanoidRootPart’.Position)
end)
end)

Is that a LocalScript or a Script?

#8

why don’t use Activated? it would be easier

#9

It’s just a plain Script, not a local.

As @GalaxySmediaCaster suggested, try using .Activated instead.

I’ve changed to Activate and this is what I have got now, but still does not work, I don’t see what I am doing wrong:

local tool = Instance.new(“Tool”)
tool.RequiresHandle = false
tool.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack

function onActivation(player)
local d=game.ReplicatedFirst.Zombie:Clone()
d.Parent=workspace
d:MoveTo(game:GetService’Players’[player].Character:FindFirstChild’HumanoidRootPart’.Position)
end

tool.Activated:Connect(onActivation)

#20 
tool.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack

This line will only work in a LocalScript
