I am making a tool drop script. The player pick up the tool using proximityprompt and it works fine until the player drop the tool. when player press E to drop the tool it fire an event to the server script to drop the tool but the tool still remain in character and not in workspace
dropEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, char, throw, cam)
local tool = char:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool")
local hrp = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if tool and hrp then
local handle = tool:FindFirstChild("Handle")
if handle then
humanoid:UnequipTools()
if throw == false then
print("drop")
tool.Parent = game.Workspace
handle.CFrame = hrp.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -1)
handle.Name = "HandleD"
handle.Massless = false
handle.CanCollide = true
proximityPrompt.Enabled = true
else
print("throw")
tool.Parent = game.Workspace
handle.CFrame = hrp.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -1)
handle.Name = "HandleD"
handle.Massless = false
handle.CanCollide = true
proximityPrompt.Enabled = true
local throwDirection = Vector3.new(hrp.CFrame.LookVector.X, cam.Y * 5, hrp.CFrame.LookVector.Z).Unit
handle.AssemblyLinearVelocity = throwDirection * 50
end
end
end
end)
Hi i realized the problem the problem is that you unequip the tool, That means that the player wont hold the tool, But you have to Destory the tool, that means that the tool wont be in the players backpack, Try something like this:
copy your tool But DO NOT make it a tool just make it have a proximity prompt and scripts or something whatever you want
Then do this with the script:
dropEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, char, throw, cam)
local tool = char:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool")
local toolcopy = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("YourToolCopy"):Clone()
local hrp = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if tool and hrp then
local handle = tool:FindFirstChild("Handle")
if handle then
if throw == false then
print("drop")
toolcopy.Parent = game.Workspace
toolcopy.CFrame = Tool.Handle
tool:Destory()
else
print("throw")
toolcopy.Parent = game.Workspace
toolcopy.CFrame = hrp.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -1)
local throwDirection = Vector3.new(hrp.CFrame.LookVector.X, cam.Y * 5, hrp.CFrame.LookVector.Z).Unit
toolcopy.AssemblyLinearVelocity = throwDirection * 50
tool:Destory()
end
end
end
end)
I do not want to destroy and clone another tool though. I am trying to parent the tool to workspace when drop so it can be pick up again. Everything in the script works fine except the part that the tool have to be parent to the workspace. When I drop it, it still stay inside the character
Also, I do not think it got something to do with the unequip line as I already define the tool before it
Ok, after digging a bit deeper I found this post which possibly solve my problem.
I parented the tool to workspace before naming it to anything other than “Handle” which cause my character to touch it and pick it up again after dropping it
