Why are my tools not working in replicated storage?

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

I want to have my tools working when I put them in replicated storage.

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

I have a script where I get my tool from replicated storage. (I will include that at the end of this), but when I get it, it does not work. It does work when it is in the starter pack though. Its like it gives it to them but the scripts inside the tools do not run.

Script not working - YouTube (This is the link to the video that shows it not working.)

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

I have looked everywhere but have got nowhere. I tried putting it in server storage instead but still did not work.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local ownsGamepass = game:GetService(“MarketplaceService”):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId,20791449)

if ownsGamepass then
local Medkit = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”):WaitForChild(“Medkit”):Clone()
Medkit.Parent = player.Backpack
end

(I don’t know how to put this in a different way).

I would assume it doesn’t work because you clone it and put it in the player backpack locally so you can use a RemoteEvent to do it from the server.

If I add a remote event what would I call it? and would I leave the script in or no?

#4

Is this a server script or a local script? If its a local script, put that code in a server script instead

#5

It is in a local, let me try a server script.

#6

Did not work. As a server script it does not even give me the tool.

#7

Okay. Just remember that you cannot use LocalPlayer on the server script. Call the PlayerAdded event instead to get the player.
So your code would be:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
   local ownsGamepass = MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId,20791449)
   if ownsGamepass then
      local Medkit = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Medkit"):Clone()
      Medkit.Parent = player.Backpack
   end
end)

I tried that in servergui and it did not work, I think it is because there were red lines.

Could you show a screenshot of the code in studio?

Okay I found a problem. Your Server Script is located in StarterGui, which shouldnt be the case. Put your server script inside ServerScriptService.

And use this code for your script (code is edited):

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
   local ownsGamepass = MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId,20791449)
   if ownsGamepass then
      local Medkit = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Medkit"):Clone()
      Medkit.Parent = player.Backpack
   end
end)

#14

Wait now it sometimes works and sometimes does not.

#16

Strange. Maybe you want to add a wait() function right below the PlayerAdded event.
So like this:

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
   wait() -- added 'wait()'
   -- code
end)

It might be a studio problem. Try testing it out in actual game and see if the problem still occurs
