How to remove equipped player tool?

Asked by

Hello, so I've figured out how to remove tools in backpack, but when you equip a tool it wont get deleted since it's no longer in the backpack, could somebody tell me what I'm missing?

        local pack = player.Backpack
                    local findSword = pack:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword")
                    local Char = workspace:FindFirstChild("Player")
                    local equippedSword = Char:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword")
                    if findSword then                            
                        findSword:Destroy()
                    elseif equippedSword then
                        print("sword is equipped!")

Instead of using Workspace:FindFirstChild(“Player) (which wouldn’t work anyway because it would be looking for a child of workspace named “Player”)

Use player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() to look for the character.


local pack = player.Backpack
            local findSword = pack:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword")
            local Char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
            local equippedSword = Char:FindFirstChild("ClassicSword")
            if findSword then                            
                findSword:Destroy()
            elseif equippedSword then
                print("sword is equipped!")

OH thanks! so player.Character define's the player's character already, what does the wait function do? wait for character to be added? pie9909 18 — 4y
