Tool not unequipping

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

For some reason, the code fully runs but the actual unequipping of the tool does not happen. Does anyone know why?

--//SERVICES
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

--//REFRENCES

local Service = {}

function Service.Init()
	Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
		plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
			StealingAttributeChange(plr)
		end)
	end)
end

function StealingAttributeChange(plr: Player)
	plr:GetAttributeChangedSignal("IsStealing"):Connect(function()
		local isStealing = plr:GetAttribute("IsStealing")
		if isStealing == true then
			print("IS STEALING")
			local char = plr.Character
			if not char then return end
			forceUnEquip(char)
			print("UNEQUIPPED")
		end
	end)
	
end

function forceUnEquip(char)
	local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if not hum then return end
	hum:UnequipTools()
	print("foreced unequip")
end

return Service

Are any of the print statements being reached? i’m not sure how to go about helping you without more information. It seems that you’re using a module script to unequip the tools, but that shouldn’t necessarily be an issue as Humanoid:UnequipTools() should replicate from the client.

this is a server script. Is that why? and yes all the prints are reached

I’m gonna go attempt to replicate this in studio, give me a couple minutes

have you tried moving the tool to the players backpack instead of using :UnequipTools

Alright let me know the results

will try that. Thank you for that suggestion

something like this?

--//SERVICES
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

--//REFRENCES

local Service = {}

function Service.Init()
	Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
		plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
			StealingAttributeChange(plr)
		end)
	end)
end

function StealingAttributeChange(plr: Player)
	plr:GetAttributeChangedSignal("IsStealing"):Connect(function()
		local isStealing = plr:GetAttribute("IsStealing")
		if isStealing == true then
			print("IS STEALING")
			local char = plr.Character
			if not char then return end
			reParentTool(plr)
			print("UNEQUIPPED")
		end
	end)
	
end

function reParentTool(plr)
	local tool = plr.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool")
	if not tool then return end
	tool.Parent = plr.Backpack
end

return Service

yep that worked. Just added a childAdded event function to the char and unequipped tool if my condition was met. Thanks
