How to check if tool is in Character/Equipped?
I want to keep checking if my tool, pistol, is in the character. Here's the script I tried to make:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
while true do
wait(1)
for i, v in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name == "Pistol" then
print("Pistol found")
end
end
end
end)

Tool has two useful events which may be helpful for you, these are Equipped and Unequipped
Using your example you could detect what tool is equipped through this method:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
for _, Tool in pairs(Player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
if Tool:IsA('Tool') then
Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
print(Tool.Name .. ' has been equipped by ' .. Player.Name)
end)
end
end
end)
end)

Yes. This is the way I would do it too. Using :FindFirstChild() is not needed here. (Related to the other answer too) appxritixn 2235 — 4y
