Tool not working when cloned and given to player

[eggkingalt (vampier)]

1. What do you want to achieve?
   Pressing G gives you a tool from ReplicatedStorage called “Chainsaw” and equips it, I only need some type of modification.

2. What is the issue?
   The tool doesn’t work but it works perfectly when its in starterpack.

3. What solutions have you tried so far?
   Disabling the scripts and then enabling them when the tool is in the backpack, adding wait() before the tool is in the backpack and in other parts of the script, looking for solutions in the devforum.

Is the script in StarterPlayerScripts a LocalScript? LocalScripts are not given access to ServerScripts, therefore any server scripts cloned from the client will not run. You need to use a regular server script inside of ServerScriptService for the giving tool part, and connect it to the localscript via a RemoteEvent

Thanks, now the tool works. (Yes, it was a localscript, now I used a remoteevent along a serverscript in serverscriptservice to make it work)
