It's supposed to clone a tool and put it in the player's backpack, but it doesn't. Help please?
Can anyone help me with this code? It only clones the tool and not the scripts and stuff inside the tool.
local button = script.Parent
local tool = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Rifle")
local tool2 = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Shovel")
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
tool:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
tool2:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Choose.Visible = false
end)
Any help would be appreciated!

From what I can see, it's most likely that the tools aren't there when the script loads in, so the script doesn't know what tool or tool2 is.
To fix this, simply use WaitForChild. This will wait for the tools to load in before continuing the code.
Example:
local tool = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Rifle")
local tool2 = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Shovel")
However, if the tools are not in the correct location where you are referencing it from, there will be an infinite yield. So make sure that the tools have the same parent as the script.
Also, I would not use a local script for this because if the game has FE turned on (which it should), then the tools will not be seen by other players, so I would recommend to use a script for this. You can define the player by using something like local plr = script.Parent.Parent.Parent, but you'd have to figure out how many .Parents you need.
