Why doesn't the dagger clone properly into the player when they join?

Asked 284 views1 answers
local function onCharacterAdded(character)
	if game.Workspace.Trueorno.Value >= 1 then
		local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
		local dagger = game.ReplicatedStorage.DaggerWood:Clone()
		dagger.Parent = plr.Backpack
	end
end

This script is supposed to clone a Wooden Dagger into the player's backpack each time they respawn, but it never does. It's only supposed to happen when the lobby doesn't exist, which is why I made the if statement. There are no errors, so I'm not sure what's wrong with it. If you know what is, please help by posting a comment or answer. Thanks.

you never called the function that is why it is not running. Also, change it to this : 

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
		if game.Workspace.Trueorno.Value >= 1 then
			local dagger = game.ReplicatedStorage.DaggerWood:Clone()
			dagger.Parent = plr.Backpack
		end
	end)
end

I don't want it to be PlayerAdded, as Character is different. It should be whenever the player respawns, and not joining.

I think the problem is that it always goes through the if statement.

Thanks! Honestly thought it wouldn't work, but it did after fixing an error (changed the last end to end) to close the function)
