Unable to clear StarterPack

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello,

I am trying to create a function that clears the starterpack for the plr when a button is clicked, but it does not do anything unless I make it an OnServerEvent (clears for everyone which I do not want)

Here’s what I have so far:

local function emptyStarterPack(player) – Removes all tools permanently
StarterPack:ClearAllChildren(player)
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
emptybackpack()
emptyStarterPack()
end)

Thanks.

Try -

local function emptyStarterGear(player) 
   local StarterGear = player.StarterGear
   if StarterGear then
     StarterGear:ClearAllChildren()
   end
end

Or

local function emptyBackpack(player) 
   local Backpack= player.Backpack
   if Backpackthen
     Backpack:ClearAllChildren()
   end
end

Also,
StarterPack:ClearAllChildren(player)
No need to provide player here.

Also, when calling that function, since you provided a parameter, you’d need to provide an argument aswell. In this case, the local player.

This is what I have so far, and only the backpack clears so when you reset you still have the tools from the StarterPack.

Clear Starterpack then backpack

This should be done on the server, since it will always get added back when a character respawns.

When I do it on the server, it clears for everyone.

You cannot clear a starter pack, its a top-level service of roblox
There are two feature of this:

  • Anything in this like a tool gets cloned into player backpack on spawn
  • Its a locked service, and therefore not even plugins can disable the service, to prevent hackers

The player have two things

  • Backpack
  • StarterGear

If you ever noticed,even if you clear the backpack, after respawn the tools respawn into your backpack
You can use a remote event to clear the starter gear tools of the player, then they wont get respawned back to the backpack
Like:

game.Players.LocalPlayer.StarerGear:ClearAllChildren()

How would you clear specific items?

By looping through it.
Here’s an example:

local Whitelist = {
    'Tool1',
    'Tool2'
}

local StarterGear = Player:FindFirstChild('StarterGear')
local Backpack = Player:FindFirstChild('Backpack')

if (StarterGear and Backpack) then
    local GetStarterGear = StarterGear:GetChildren()
    for Tool = 1, #GetStarterGear do
        local TargetTool = GetStarterGear[Tool]
        if (not table.find(Whitelist, TargetTool.Name)) then
            TargetTool:Destroy()
        end
    end
    
    local GetBackpack = Backpack:GetChildren()
    for Tool2 = 1, #GetBackpack do
        local TargetTool = GetStarterGear[Tool2]
        if (not table.find(Whitelist, TargetTool.Name)) then
            TargetTool:Destroy()
        end
    end
end
