Use plr.Character.Humanoid:EquipTool() on the server instead.

#3

#4

You can look up how to use it here.

#5

i dont think that worked Im trying to clone the tool and give it to the player

#6 
plr.Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(game.ReplicatedStorage.Sword:Clone())
#7

it still falls on the ground doe

#8

Are you using it on a localscript? (edited)

#9

are you asking if its a local script

#10

yes its a local script… is that a problem

#11

Yes, tools should exist on the server so welds can be created to keep it in your hand.

#12

i tried converting it into a server script it didnt work

#13

Does it still fall on the ground or what?

#14

it falls on the ground but i think i need to make it a server script but the problem is that idk how to do that cuz i tried doing that by changing the localplayer to the player added event and didnt work

#15

Could you show your new script?

#16 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local sword = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Sword")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local swordClone = sword:Clone()
	humanoid:EquipTool(swordClone)
end)

Don’t know, haven’t worked with tools.
This is the entire script you need. Put this in ServerScriptService and you should be good, I think.

#17 
local plr = game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
	local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
	wait(1)
	if plr.Team == Teams.Spys then
		plr.Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(game.ReplicatedStorage.Sword:Clone())
	end
end)
#18 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")

local sword = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Sword")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	if player.Team == Teams.Spys then
		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		local swordClone = sword:Clone()
		humanoid:EquipTool(swordClone)
	end
end)

That should do the trick…

#19

where do i put the script doe…

#20

That’s everything you need in one single script in ServerScriptService.

Also, don’t use wait(). Apart from it being deprecated soon, you can simply yield the function until the character loads in using CharacterAdded:Wait().

If you want to yield, use task.wait(). It’s more accurate and it servers to yield the thread, not the entire script.
