Tools become invisible (no they aren't ghosts)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Cheers! I am making a game and would like to implement a custom hotbar. My only problem is that when a tool is equipped, the tool does not show. I was just trying to get a basic thing going. Here is my simple script (local)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
wait()
game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	humanoid:EquipTool(game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Tool"))
end)

I do not need to worry about any big system just yet, I simply would like to know why the tool is invisible.

I’m assuming this is because you equipped the tool on the client and not the server.

I will try to change that via remoteEvents. Thanks.

It shows my character holding the tool but its still invisible.

#5

client has network ownership of their character so that is definitely not the problem here

I worked fine when I enabled the player’s backpack. Why is disabling it possibly causing this?

Anchor it??? rename the part inside tool “Handle”

You should not anchor tools also, it is named “Handle”
