I made this shop system and whenever the player buys the item, it takes away their Cash but the tool doesn’t get put in the players backpack

There isn’t any errors in the output or anything

Please help!

Here’s the lua

local serverStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local buyRemote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").ShopRemotes.BuyItem

local itemCosts = {
	AK74U = 3500,
	BANDAGE = 200,
	UZI = 2000,
}


buyRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,item)
	
	local playerMoney = player.leaderstats.Cash
	
	if playerMoney.Value < itemCosts[item] then return end
	
	playerMoney.Value -= itemCosts[item]
	
	local toolToGive = serverStorage.Tools.FindFirstChild(item)
	toolToGive.Parent = player.Backpack
	
end)

you need to use colons for FindFirstChild.

local serverStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local buyRemote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").ShopRemotes.BuyItem

local itemCosts = {
	AK74U = 3500,
	BANDAGE = 200,
	UZI = 2000,
}


buyRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,item)
	
	local playerMoney = player.leaderstats.Cash
	
	if playerMoney.Value < itemCosts[item] then return end
	
	playerMoney.Value -= itemCosts[item]
	
	local toolToGive = serverStorage.Tools:FindFirstChild(item)
	toolToGive.Parent = player.Backpack
	
end)

with a period, it would be trying to find an instance with the name of “FindFirstChild” under the tool.
