Tool Equipped Event Not Firing?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I’m trying to make a system where a Scroll tool has its own GUI that appears when you equip it, however, I am having trouble. It’s not erroring, it’s just not triggering the function.

-- This script displays and updates the ScrollGui.

-- setting variables
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local ScrollGui = player.PlayerGui.ScrollGui
local ScrollFrame = ScrollGui.ScrollFrame
local ScrollContent = ScrollFrame.ScrollContent
local ScrollName = ScrollFrame.ScrollName
local tool = script.Parent

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	
	print("hi")
	
	-- get the attributes
	local ScrollNameText = tool:GetAttribute("ScrollName")
	local ScrollContentText = tool:GetAttribute("ScrollContent")	
	
	-- enable the gui
	ScrollGui.Enabled = true
	
	-- sets the text
	ScrollContent.Text = ScrollContentText
	ScrollName.Text = ScrollNameText
	
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	
	-- disables the gui
	ScrollGui.Enabled = false
	
end)

More info:
The tool is added to the player’s backpack when the player interacts with a ProximityPrompt, and that part is working, I’ve checked.

Thanks!

disable the property in the Tool about requiring a handle
