Is there a way to detect if something does/doesn't exist?
So i have tried 2 different ways, neither of them work.
(plr = the player)
1st attempt:
1 | if plr.Backpack["Building Tools"] == true then |
2 | print("btools") |
3 | else |
4 | print("no btools") |
5 | end |
and then my 2nd attempt:
1 | if not plr.Backpack["Building Tools"] == nil then |
2 | print("btools") |
3 | else |
4 | print("no btools") |
5 | end |
Is there a way? All help is appreciated!

Use FindFirstChild function,if it finds the targeted object,it returns true else it returns false
1 | if plr.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Building Tools") then --You dont need to double check it,as it returns the value |
2 | print("btools") |
3 | else |
4 | print("no btools") |
5 | end |

Hello, a way you can check if an instance is inside another, you can do this.
1 | local instance = object:FindFirstChild("whatyouaretryingtofind") |
2 | if instance then --true |
3 | --your code here |
4 | else -- false |
5 | --your code here |
6 | end |
