Simple sword giver, serverstorage to player backpack?
Hi I attempted a simple sword giver script, the script isn't sending the sword to my backpack, but it will send it to the workspace if I change it, am I missing something important?
local debounce = false
game.Workspace.Part.Touched:Connect(function()
if not debounce then
debounce = true
print("test")
local cloneSword = game.ServerStorage.ClassicSword:Clone()
cloneSword.Parent = game.Players:FindFirstChildOfClass("Backpack")
wait(1)
debounce = false
end
end)

Index Backpack, don't use FindFirstChild() on it. DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 3y

What you need to do first is detect if the part that hit the object is actually a character. Next, you would get the character's player to get his backpack and finally clone and parent the item to the player's backpack.
Here's how you would do it:
-- Services
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
-- Parts
local sword = ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword")
-- Booleans
local debounce = false
-- Connections
game.Workspace.Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
-- Check if the part that hit is the part of a character
local char = hit.Parent
local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if hum and not debounce then
debounce = true
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
local swordClone = sword:Clone()
swordClone.Parent = player.Backpack
debounce = false
end
end)

You can create a variable called Player and store all the players in that variable. You can get all players using get service or simply game.workspace.Players DevMaster333 215 — 3y
