Why is this script not cloning and setting the parent value to backpack?
So I am making a shop script and I ran into a problem when a player joins for the first time and has nothing in Backpack this script should run and adds started tools into their backpack. Instead, the script does not run.
Script:
01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
02 | if #(player:FindFirstChild("Backpack"):GetChildren()) == 0 or nil then |
03 | local x = game.ServerStorage.Loadout.Primary:Clone() |
04 | x.Parent = player:FindFirstChild("Backpack") |
05 | x.Name = "Primary" |
06 | local y = game.ServerStorage.Loadout.Secondary["GLOCK 17"]:Clone() |
07 | y.Parent = player:FindFirstChild("Backpack") |
08 | y.Name = "Secondary" |
09 | end |
10 | end) |

There is also no error in the output, and I also verified if it is running by printing true at the beginning which it does. mikey2019d 43 — 4y

Print the number of instances in the backpack as well and see what it outputs. Loughdough 291 — 4y

Thanks but i found the problem to be that the function is firing the moment i join so I need to wait until back pack is existing in player mikey2019d 43 — 4y

I would put the code inside the .CharacterAdded event because tools get removed when you die. COUNTYL1MITS 312 — 4y

You could just put the tools in starter pack deadwalker601 110 — 4y

This should work
01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
02 | player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function() |
03 | if #(player:FindFirstChild("Backpack"):GetChildren()) == 0 or nil then |
04 | local x = game.ServerStorage.Loadout.Primary:Clone() |
05 | x.Parent = player:FindFirstChild("Backpack") |
06 | x.Name = "Primary" |
07 | local y = game.ServerStorage.Loadout.Secondary["GLOCK 17"]:Clone() |
08 | y.Parent = player:FindFirstChild("Backpack") |
09 | y.Name = "Secondary" |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 | end) |
