Hi Dev Forum Community. I’ve encountered a big issue with tools in my game and I have no idea how to fix it. The problem is that the person holding the tool can see all of the parts of it (In this case it being the ice cream parts and cone/milkshake parts and glass/the full pastry) and the other person only sees one part of it or no parts of it. Here are pictures below:
POV of the person holding the item: (In this case ice cream)
POV of the other persons view of the item: (In this case ice cream, but for things like pastries it shows nothing)
The tool is coming from a GUI that gives you a tool from replicated storage. Additionally, for whatever reason, my hand to GUI does not work for any of the food items, but it works for other items. I’m confused and don’t know what to do. If you need to know anything in order to help me, please ask. Thank you!
Here’s the script for the GUI button that the baristas click to get the tool:
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local P = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = P.Character
local backpack = P.Backpack
-- Check if the "Cone" item exists in the backpack or on the character
if backpack:FindFirstChild("Cone") then
backpack.Cone:Destroy()
elseif character and character:FindFirstChild("Cone") then
character.Cone:Destroy()
end
-- Clone and place the new ice cream item into the backpack
local Copied = H:Clone()
Copied.Parent = backpack
end)
It’s just made so if they have a cone in their backpack or they have it equipped it destroys it. Also, I don’t think the hand to GUI has anything to do with it because it works for every other tool just not the food tools that I’ve recently made that they get from the GUIs.
You should not be directly modifying the Player’s backpack from a LocalScript, as it can cause some tools to error out. Instead, replace the buttons in the LocalScript so that they fire a RemoteEvent:
local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“ItemEvent”)
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
remoteEvent:FireServer(“Cone”) -- Sends the argument of which tool the Player is trying to get through the RemoteEvent.
end)
And on a ServerScript:
local rs = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)
local remoteEvent = rs:WaitForChild(“ItemEvent”)
remoteEvent:OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, toolName)
local isToolGiven = Player.Character:FindFirstChild(toolName) or Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(toolName) -- Checking if tool is already given.
if not isToolGiven then
local tooltoGive = rs:FindFirstChild(toolName)
local toolClone = tooltoGive:Clone()
toolClone.Parent = Player.Backpack
end
end)
If you want to make it such that the Script swaps tools, do this for the ServerScript:
local rs = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)
local remoteEvent = rs:WaitForChild(“ItemEvent”)
remoteEvent:OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, toolName)
local isToolGiveninCharacter = Player.Character:FindFirstChild(toolName)
local isToolGiveninBackpack = Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(toolname)
if isToolGiveninCharacter then
isToolGiveninCharacter:Destroy()
end
if isToolGiveninBackpack then
isToolGiveninBackpack:Destroy()
end
local tooltoGive = rs:FindFirstChild(“ToolNameHere”) -- Edit to the name of the tool you want to give.
local toolClone = tooltoGive:Clone()
toolClone.Parent = Player.Backpack
end)
Were you doing that because you wanted to prevent Players from getting duplicate tools?
If you were, I have included a isToolGiven variable in the ServerScript. If the server finds the tool with the specified name in the Player, it will not give the Player the tool.
That seems like a strange way to open the UI, is this intentional, or is this GUI for a separate purpose?
But if you wish to destroy the Player’s cone as well, then this should be the ServerScript:
local rs = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)
local remoteEvent = rs:WaitForChild(“ItemEvent”)
remoteEvent:OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, toolName)
local isToolGiveninCharacter = Player.Character:FindFirstChild(toolName)
local isToolGiveninBackpack = Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(toolname)
if isToolGiveninCharacter then
isToolGiveninCharacter:Destroy()
end
if isToolGiveninBackpack then
isToolGiveninBackpack:Destroy()
end
local tooltoGive = rs:FindFirstChild(“ToolNameHere”)
local toolClone = tooltoGive:Clone()
toolClone.Parent = Player.Backpack
end)
Thanks so much for your help! It worked for the first tool and now I have to do it for about 34 others… Either way, thank you so much and I’ll update you if something doesn’t work.
