Tools not working?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! So I need help with something, I made a script to give my player a tool and it all works fine (it’s even in his backpack). But for some reason it doesn’t appear in the HotBar

Any tips or ideas on how to fix something like this?

#2

Did you include a Handle with the tool?

#3

Yeah the tool has a handle included

#4

Could we see the script then if possible? It’d help :thinking:

#5 
local function GivePlayerWeapon(plr)

	local function FindHumanWeapon()

		local LightFolder = game.ServerStorage.PlayerData:FindFirstChild(plr.UserId)

		local light = LightFolder.Weapons.Equipped.Value

		return light
	end

	if game.ServerStorage.GameInProgress.Value == true then
		local lightgear = FindHumanWeapon()

		local lightlol = game.ServerStorage.Tools:FindFirstChild(lightgear)
		local lightobj = lightlol:Clone()


		lightobj.Parent = plr.Backpack
		

	end

end

Can you show a video or clip of this happening? Can’t find any issues with your code.

#7

It might be either
A: A strange bug or
B: Changed the CoreGui to the Backpack?

#8

The only issue I see is equipped.Value as I’m pretty sure that doesn’t exist, so unless equipped is an bool value that won’t work

If it is then I would recommend a findfirstchild so it doesn’t get confused

#9

Yeah I think it might be a strange glitch… I don’t know any ways to fix it

#10

You could try adding print statements to see if the variables are valid? And I’m guessing that local light = LightFolder.Weapons.Equipped.Valueis a BoolValue?
