Tool not working after cloning and moving it with the server

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#4

but the tool works with remote events though, or do you want me to clone it with a remote event?

#5

Make the scripts in the tool work with remote events using a localscript to fire it then the server to do stuff

#6

but that’s how it already works

#7

Are you cloning it on the client?

#8

I’m cloning it with a script, not a local script (the script is in workspace)

#9

Show me your code for your tool and script

#10

we need to see the script to help you

#11

That’s where the tool is located and the code is in a local script

Screenshot_2

local function onActivate()
    script.Parent.FireEvent:FireServer(playerMouse.Hit.Position)
end

local function onEquip()
    equipped = true
end

local function onUnequip()
    equipped = false
end

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(onEquip)
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(onUnequip)
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(onActivate)
#12

what exactly do you want to do? you said you had trouble cloning the tool which doesnt make sense considering that you’re firing the position

#13

I’m trying to make like a weapon giver, when you touch the weapon giver it will clone the tool and put it into the player’s backpack

#14

can you show the code that clones the tool?

#15

but when the tool gets cloned, the scripts just won’t work, no errors not anything

could you show the code that actually clones the given weapon?

It checks if you have a specific gamepass, then it clones the tool and put’s it into the inventory if you don’t have the tool already and all of it works perfectly but once the tool is cloned and moved into the player’s backpack, the scrips are just not working

so theres more tools in your weapons folder as well?

#20

yes, but all of them have the same concept and all of them don’t work when cloned and moved, but all of them do work when I get them from the StarterPack at start

#21

maybe place the script in ServerScriptService instead, and mention the part that players will touch like this:

local part = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("") -- name of part

(i dont think this will work, try the below method)

#22

or maybe just have the full tool inside of workspace, and then clone that same tool in workspace when a player will touch the specific part of the tool (and have the script inside of the specific part of the tool you want to player to touch)

#23

Not true, it’s just that scripts don’t run in ReplicatedStorage. It’s sufficient enough as a storage, though personally I wouldn’t store tools in ReplicatedStorage because the client doesn’t have a reason to be interacting directly with the tools until they are added to the backpack.

For reference, just to try and repro this anyway, I also tried to get a Tool from ReplicatedStorage over to my backpack and the tool worked as intended. See below for the tool in my backpack (I was too lazy to add a Handle so it’s a tool without a handle and RequiresHandle off) and the output for the prints coming from the LocalScript firing a RemoteEvent for the server to print something.

OP isn’t providing enough detail to know why specifically their tool doesn’t work. Repro file if you want to observe this behaviour yourself: ToolCloneRepro.rbxl (29.7 KB)
