How would I get this script to remove the player's inventory when they step on a teleport pad?
I am trying to make a teleport to a tower so i want to remove the player (who steps on the pad)'s inventory. here is the code, I am using a regular script because when I use the same code in a local script, It doesnt work and I get no errors. The error i get here is
Workspace.Doors.Door4.Teleport.Clear Gear:2: attempt to index nil with 'Backpack'
This is my code.
1 | script.Parent.Touched:connect(function() |
2 | local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack |
3 | p:ClearAllChildren() |
4 | end) |

This means it's on a server script, you can't see the local player on the server.
Also connect is deprecated, you should use Connect.
We can use the Touched argument we name hit which is the object that touched it. As an object can't be a Model and a character is composed of a model with object parts, we can simply just check if the parent of the object is a player's character.
Solution script:
1 | local players = game.Players |
2 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) |
3 | local parent = hit.Parent |
4 | local playerGet = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(parent) -- returns player or nil |
5 | if playerGet then -- is actually a player |
6 | playerGet.Backpack:ClearAllChildren() |
7 | end |
8 | end) |
You cannot use LocalPlayer in a server script. Try this script instead:
1 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) |
2 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then -- make sure its a player that touched it |
3 | local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) -- get the player in the game |
4 | player.Backpack:ClearAllChildren() -- clear the backpacks children |
5 | end |
6 | end) |
