How do I fix Click Tool Remover not working?

Asked 182 views2 answers

Problem: The script does not work once a player clicks on the brick with and without a certain tool in their backpack.

Goal: I want to make is to if a player clicks on a certain part, the script will detect a tool in their backpack. If the certain tool is inside their backpack or if they are holding it, it will be removed and they will earn 5 coins.

TakeToolScript

local find = Character:FindFirstChild("TestTool") or Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("TestTool")
local coin = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Currency.Coins

function onClick(PersonWhoClicked)
	if find then
		find:Destroy()
		coin.Value = coin.Value + 5
	else
		print("Error finding tools")
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(onClick)

Can anyone please help me understand why the script is not working whenever a player clicks the brick. Neither does it print "Error finding tools" nor destroys the TestTool and give Coins.

Your issue with the script is that servers have no access to the local player. What I did below was access the local player via the clicker. Make sure this is all in a Script inside the part

function onClick(PersonWhoClicked)
    local find = PersonWhoClicked.Backpack:FindFirstChild("TestTool")
	local coin = PersonWhoClicked.Currency.Coins
	if find then
        find:Destroy()
        coin.Value = coin.Value + 5
		return
	end
	find = PersonWhoClicked.Character:FindFirstChild("TestTool")
	if find then
		find:Destroy()
	end
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(onClick)

I think your script doesn't work because you say "If find then" but find what? Do you understand?

No he is correctly using "if find then"
