Tool not moving to startergear

Anybody know why this isn’t cloning into StarterGear? it only goes to backpack

Server Script
game.ServerStorage.Tools.Tool:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear and player.Backpack

this is a copy from a script… not the entire script obviously

Make sure the Archivable is set to true.

Edit: read more

Yep, it is set to Archivable… i dont think that’s the problem

This should work.

game.ServerStorage.Tools.Tool:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear game.ServerStorage.Tools.Tool:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack

Thanks! This seemed to work… appreciate it

Remember, the and operator is for logical parsing and cannot be used to set multiple parents of an instance.

Use this simple non-scalable technique:

game.ServerStorage.Tools.Tool:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear
game.ServerStorage.Tools.Tool:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack

However, it is always good to make your code scalable:

local appendees = {
    player.StarterGear,
    player.Backpack
}

for index, value in pairs(appendees) {
    game.ServerStorage.Tools.Tool:Clone().Parent = value
}

Edit: I sould also mention, the starter gear is a replication storage solution, so clone to it only once, and when a player joins, they will be given the instances inside.
