[Resolved] Why doesn't the tool giver give the tool?
The script is supposed to put the pickaxe in the player's backpack when they touch the pickaxe giver. Unfortunately, when I testplay it, it gives this error at line 8:
Attempt to index nil with Backpack
The script:
01 | local PickaxeGiver = script.Parent |
02 | local Pickaxe = game.ReplicatedStorage.GameItems:WaitForChild("Pickaxe") |
03 | local ClonedPick = game.ReplicatedStorage.GameItems.Pickaxe:Clone() |
04 |
05 | PickaxeGiver.Touched:Connect(function(hit, plr) |
06 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then |
07 | print("Check Works") |
08 | if Pickaxe.Parent ~= plr.Backpack then |
09 | print("Tool Check Works") |
10 | ClonedPick.Parent = plr.Backpack |
11 | print("Give Tool Works") |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | end) |
I've looked at other posts to no avail. I've tried splitting the function into two separate functions and running it then. Tips would be appreciated since I'm relatively new scripter.

It doesn't know what you are assigning for "Backpack" meaning you probably need to change plr.Backpack to something else FBS_8 25 — 4y

01 | local PickaxeGiver = script.Parent |
02 | local Pickaxe = game.ReplicatedStorage.GameItems:WaitForChild("Pickaxe") |
03 | local ClonedPick = game.ReplicatedStorage.GameItems.Pickaxe:Clone() |
04 |
05 | PickaxeGiver.Touched:Connect(function(hit) -- you can't define plr here... |
06 | local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) --Here we attempt to get player instance from the parent of the part that touched. |
07 | if plr then -- here we check if its a valid player |
08 | print("Check Works") |
09 | if Pickaxe.Parent ~= plr.Backpack then |
10 | print("Tool Check Works") |
11 | ClonedPick.Parent = plr.Backpack |
12 | print("Give Tool Works") |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | end) |
Note: this will only make 1 player to be able to have the pickaxe
