Attempt to index nil with 'Name' What does this mean?
1 | local function partTouched(onTouch) |
2 | local tool = game.Players:FindFirstChild("Tool") |
3 | if tool.Name == "Sword" then |
4 | tool:Destroy() |
5 | end |
6 | end |
7 |
8 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(partTouched) |
I made this script to remove your sword when you touch this part It doesn't work for some reason and here is the output error:
11:30:44.415 - Workspace.Part.Script:3: attempt to index nil with 'Name'

In your case, it means that "tool" does not exist. Also, tools go inside the player's backpack, not inside the player object. I assume your code should look something like this below.
01 | local function partTouched(hit) |
02 | local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) |
03 | if player then |
04 | local tool = player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Sword") |
05 | if tool then |
06 | tool:Destroy() |
07 | end |
08 | end |
09 | end |
10 |
11 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(partTouched) |

It means your trying to check for a name and trying to change the name to that specific name to fix this try:
01 | local function partTouched(onTouch) |
02 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
03 | local Tool = player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Tool") --Find the tool name |
04 | if Tool then |
05 | if Tool.Name == "Sword" then |
06 | tool:Destroy() |
07 | end |
08 | end |
09 | end |
10 | end |
11 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(partTouched) |

A backpack is not inside the player service, it is inside the local player. JailBreaker_13 350 — 5y

You are checking for a child of backpack with the name "Tool" and then you are checking if the child's name is "Sword"? AspectW 431 — 5y
