Script doesn't respawn the player if there is no tool. (?)
I am making a simulator game where they can buy better tools. Sometimes, they don't spawn with the tool for some weird reason. I made this script that detects if they have the tool. When they don't have it, it errors not finding the tool, here is my script.
01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) |
02 | plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char) |
03 | wait(1) |
04 | local tool = plr.BackPack.Tool |
05 | If tool then |
06 | print(plr.." has tool") |
07 | else |
08 | char:LoadCharacter() |
09 | print("Respawning".. plr) |
10 | end |
11 | end) |
12 | end) |
The script should respawn them if there is no tool, it errors on line 5 when they don't have the tool, if they have the tool it works fine.
I want to thank everybody that spends their time trying to help me, even if they don't know the answer.
Best Wishes, JailBreaker_13

it may be because the P in BackPack is capitalized. diggerbear1 32 — 4y

Hey there, use FindFirstChild to check if the object exists or not, like so.
01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) |
02 | plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char) |
03 | wait(1) |
04 | if plr.Backpack:FindFirstChild('Tool') then |
05 | print(plr.." has tool") |
06 | else |
07 | char:LoadCharacter() |
08 | print("Respawning".. plr) |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
11 | end) |
