I'm trying to make it so that when a player presses E, a tool goes into their toolbar, but when I run this code and press E, in the explorer the tool is in the starter pack but not in the toolbar. (This is in a local script inside StarterPlayerScripts)
local Demo = game.Workspace.Demo
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
Demo.Parent = game.StarterPack
end
end)
In order to put a tool into someone's toolbar, you need to put it into their Backpack, which can be accessed through player.Backpack. So,we make a clone of the Demo tool and put that clone into the player's backpack
local Demo = game.Workspace.Demo
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
local DemoClone = Demo:Clone() -- the reason we want to clone it is so we can use the tool again, if we didn't clone the tool would be put into the player and would not be inside Workspace anymore to use later
DemoClone.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack--this is where to put then tool, not the starterpack. It will put the tool inside the local player's backpack
end
end)
Code without comments:
local Demo = game.Workspace.Demo
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
local DemoClone = Demo:Clone()
DemoClone.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack
end
end)

Thanks, this put it in the backpack, but when i equip it my player goes to the position where i put the tool in the workspace. Do I fix this by putting it in ReplicatedStorage or doing something else?
Yes, you should put it into replicatedstorage/lighting/serverstorage or something :)
I put it in ReplicatedStorage but it still goes to the tool's position.
That's strange. Did you make the tool or is it a model?
I set it as a tool and put a part named "Handle"
Also, I recommend changing the grip position and position of the tool, that may also help. If it's a model, the script may be outdated
I'll try that.
Also, I did the same thing myself, I made a part in workspace, named it handle, put it into a tool named demo and everything worked fine
