Here is the Script that is supposed to break things and award a block

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	if hit ~= nil then
		local block = hit.Parent
		if block ~= nil then
			local humanoid = block:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			if humanoid ~= nil then
				wait(3.5)
				block:Destroy()
				humanoid:Destroy()
				if block.Name == "WoodBlock" then
					local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
					local BlockTool = game.ReplicatedStorage.Wood_Block:Clone()
					BlockTool.Parent = plr.Backpack
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

I’m pretty sure GetPlayersFromCharacter() returns nil if something that’s not a player character gets passed through, so maybe try checking if the plr variable is nil after you call the function.

hit.Parent means block, right?

#4

do this instead:

local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Parent.Parent)

-- when the tool is being equipped it will be in the player's character

since the script is in the tool then script.Parent.Parent.Parent means player

#5

yes it does mean the block

#6

then you shouldn’t do like game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) since it’s the same thing (you’re trying to get a player from the block)

Also I changed the script to this,

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	if hit ~= nil then
		local block = hit.Parent
		if block ~= nil then
			local humanoid = block:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			if humanoid ~= nil then
				if block.Name == "WoodBlock" then
					wait(3.5)
					block:Destroy()
					humanoid:Destroy()
					local plr = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
					local BlockTool = game.ReplicatedStorage.Wood_Block:Clone()
					BlockTool.Parent = plr.Backpack
				else
					if block.Name == "LeafBlock" then
						wait(0.5)
						block:Destroy()
						humanoid:Destroy()
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

One thing to note is that Im doing this all in a Local Script

#13

you can also get the player by using
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
not need to :GetPlayerFromCharacter
