Hello! I made small script which giving tool to the player when he just clicks TextButton but it's not working, how can I fix this?

this is this script

1local Tool = game:GetService("ServerStorage").RPK
2local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
3local Backpack = Player:FindFirstChild("Backpack")
4 
5script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
6    Tool:Clone().Parent = Backpack
7end)

LocalPlayer is nil if its in a regular script and ServerStorage's children isnt visible in the regular script SoftlockedUnderZero 668 — 4y

You must use a RemoteEvent as the client (LocalScript(s)) cannot access ServerStorage and the client cannot just give itself tools. To fix this, insert a RemoteEvent into ReplicatedStorage and name it "GiveTool". Now change the LocalScript's code to this

1local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
2 
3script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
4    ReplicatedStorage.GiveTool:FireServer()
5end)

This will fire the RemoteEvent when you click the button.

Now insert a ServerScript (aka. Normal Script) into ServerScriptService

1local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
2local Tool = game:GetService("ServerStorage").RPK
3 
4ReplicatedStorage.GiveTool.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
5    Tool:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
6end)

Now the OnServerEvent RBXScriptSignal will fire when the RemoteEvent is fired, in this case, when the button is clicked. Then the script will clone the tool and place it in the player's backpack. Hopefully, this helped you! For more information on RemoteEvents and RemoteFunctions, go here.
