Walking on gear and picking it up

Help and Feedback Building Support

Hi, I have a gear on a table and when a player clicks it they pick it up. But when a player touches it it removes it from the table and the player takes it. How do I make it so a player can’t do that?

#2

Im not sure if im understanding your problem correctly. From what I understand, I’m pretty sure your problem can be fixed by removing the ‘TouchInterest’ inside of the gear’s Handle.

#3

There is no TouchInterest in the handle

#4

I’d need to see some screen shots and code lines of the problem to debug

#5

Script:

	if not player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Smore") then
		script.Parent:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
	end
end)

When you touch the smore it goes into your backpack and removes it from the part it’s on. I don’t want this to happen.

#8

The behavior you’re describing is identical to how a TouchInterest acts. Your code seems fine, and if there isnt a touchinterest in your handle. I have no clue what the issue is.

#9

Is this because the item is still a gear?

Possibly the ‘CanBeDropped’ could be causing this issue. The game might think the gear is dropped.

#11

I can still pick it up. There is no TouchIntrest and CanBeDropped is unselected.

#12

An easier option would be to clone the handle and put it in the workspace with no scripts and then make a script that clones the tool into the player’s backpack when clicked.

#13

Doubt this’ll work, but try setting Tool.Enabled to false.

If not, just replicate the tool into a model, and add a click detector to a part that encompasses all the parts of the tool.

#14

Can you show me how to script this?

#15

I would put the model only and then put the real tool in serverstorage and have a script that will give it to the player when they click the model.

Edit: I cant provide any code rn but in 1-2 hours I will be able to

You would need to put the tool you want in your backpack in server storage.

Then put a script in the model which you put in the workspace.
Like this

local Debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
      if not Debounce then
              local Tool = game.ServerStorage.ToolName:Clone()
              local Players = game.Players
              local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
              Tool.Parent = Player.Backpack
              Debounce = true
              wait(whatever you want)
              Debounce = false
    end)
end)
