How to remove equipped player tool?

Asked Nov 16, 2020276 views2 answers

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?

Yes, it waits for the character to be loaded

try with function, then add script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(YourFunctionName)
