How do I make it so players can't pick up a tool off the ground? [closed]

I'm trying to make a game where you need to hover your mouse over a tool and press E to equip it. The problem is, I haven't found any way to make it so the player can't just pick the tool up off the ground. If anyone has a thought or solution, that would be very well appreciated.

Not the best scripter, but you can disable the 'TouchInterest; if a tool I believe. Quick example I wrote: script.Parent:WaitForChild(“TouchInterest”):Destroy() If not, you could disable the handle, meaning that the tool can't be used since it requires a handle. Not sure if it will rather error your code. vStarzzy 0 — 4y

Check out this devforum post on it: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/how-can-i-stop-the-player-from-picking-up-tools/399097

It basically says, if the handle has a "TouchInterest" in it, simply delete it. A touch interest, like its name suggests, detects if it's being touched.

To do this you would need to use something like this:

script.Parent:WaitForChild("TouchInterest"):Destroy() -- this would be in the handle
