I want to parent a tool to a player's backpack. The script leaves no errors?

Asked 249 views1 answers

This is my script in ServerScriptService.

local gear = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("GravityCoil")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr.Name == "kingblaze_1000" then
		local clone = gear:Clone()
		print(clone.Name) --//Prints successfully.
		clone.Parent = plr:WaitForChild("Backpack")
	end
end)

Thanks for taking your time and I appreciated any attempt on answering my question

All it means is that the if statement isn't running. Why are you checking that it's your username?/ what is the function intended for, specific people? If you're just checking yourself, I think it's because .Name is not a valid property of plr?

debug your script, add prints and look where the script stops working

I did. The script works all the way through. It even manages to print the name of the clone

That will obviously not work because it isn't happening on the server.

I tried it anyways and yeah it didn't work.
