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:
01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
02 | local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() |
03 | while true do |
04 | wait(1) |
05 | for i, v in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do |
06 | if v.Name == "Pistol" then |
07 | print("Pistol found") |
08 | end |
09 | end |
10 | end |
11 | 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:
01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) |
02 | Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character) |
03 | for _, Tool in pairs(Player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do |
04 | if Tool:IsA('Tool') then |
05 | Tool.Equipped:Connect(function() |
06 | print(Tool.Name .. ' has been equipped by ' .. Player.Name) |
07 | end) |
08 | end |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
11 | 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 — 5y
