Random gear on touch isnt working ???
The following is suppose get a random gear when a part is touched and clone it to the players inventory. The problem is picking the random gear.
local Gears = game.ServerStorage.Gears:GetChildren()
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
local Inventory = Player.Backpack
local RandomGear = math.random(1, #Gears) -- PROBLEM HERE
RandomGear.Parent = Inventory
end
end)

The problem here is that you only have the index for the random gear, not the gear itself. :GetChildren function gives you a table of children of an object. Here is your script's fixed version:
local Gears = game.ServerStorage.Gears:GetChildren()
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
local Inventory = Player.Backpack
local RandomGearIndex = math.random(1, #Gears) -- PROBLEM HERE
local RandomGear = Gears[RandomGearIndex]
RandomGear.Parent = Inventory
end
end)
You might also want to add a debounce to your script if you don't want the player to get a lot of gears at once but I won't include that here.
