Tool not parenting to player's backpack

[xRo_Fishy (RoFishy)]

Hey there, I’ve been trying for quite a bit and have been using multiple methods to achieve this but nothing seems to work.

Basically, I’m making a gun RNG game, and I’m trying to have it so that when a player rolls a specific weapon, it gets put in their backpack. However, it just isn’t working for whatever reason.

Code:

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

local ToolsFolder = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Weapons")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	local Weapons = Player:WaitForChild("Weapons")
	local Backpack = Player:WaitForChild("Backpack")
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(_)
		Weapons.ChildAdded:Connect(function(Child)
			print("Child added!")
			local WeaponName = Child.Value

			for _, v in pairs(Backpack:GetChildren()) do
				if v.Name == WeaponName then
					print("Destroying...")
					Child:Destroy()
					break
				end
			end

			local WeaponTool = ToolsFolder:WaitForChild(WeaponName):Clone()
			print(WeaponTool.Name)
			WeaponTool.Parent = Backpack
			print("Gave them the tool!")
		end)
	end)
end)

Here’s the output:

Would appreciate any help I could get!

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local ToolsFolder = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Weapons")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	local Weapons = Player:FindFirstChild("Weapons")
	local Backpack = Player:FindFirstChild("Backpack")

	if not Weapons then
		Weapons = Instance.new("Folder")
		Weapons.Name = "Weapons"
		Weapons.Parent = Player
	end

	if not Backpack then
		Backpack = Instance.new("Backpack")
		Backpack.Name = "Backpack"
		Backpack.Parent = Player
	end

	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(_)
		Weapons.ChildAdded:Connect(function(Child)
			print("Child added!")
			
			local WeaponName = Child.Value
			if not WeaponName then
				warn("Weapon name is missing!")
				return
			end

			-- Check if weapon already exists in the backpack
			for _, v in pairs(Backpack:GetChildren()) do
				if v.Name == WeaponName then
					print("Destroying...")
					Child:Destroy()
					return
				end
			end

			-- Clone and move the weapon to the backpack
			local WeaponTool = ToolsFolder:FindFirstChild(WeaponName)
			if WeaponTool then
				local ClonedTool = WeaponTool:Clone()
				ClonedTool.Parent = Backpack
				print("Gave them the tool!")
			else
				warn("Weapon not found in ToolsFolder!")
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

Still doesn’t work, same output

You need to add print statements for this purpose to pinpoint the issue

I did, my current code has print statements. You can check the output above, and it shows the exact line pretty much where the error is.

Referencing the backpack in CharacterAdded fixed this for me

This worked, thanks so much for your help!
