How to find and name all tools in backpack?
Okay,
Basically I have a script that checks through your backpack to read out all of the tools the player has in output.
If it is working, when the player steps on a brick, it should go in the output and read out the tools something like this:
Tool A, Tool B, Tool C, -- continues going
Currently, my code looks like this and I can't seem to figure out how to convert the table into a string and get it all in one print. I have been successful at getting it out in 3 seperate prints using unpack() but that's not what I wanted to do.
local c = plr.Backpack:GetChildren()
local backpack = {}
for i = 1,#c do
if c[i]:IsA("Tool") then
table.insert(backpack, c[i])
end
end
print() -- output goes here
Thanks, tgarbrecht

Did you print(backpack)? If that does not work, maybe try this: print(backpack:GetChildren())? Soban06 410 — 4y

yes, printing backpack by itself will just return a table value and backpack:GetChildren() errors. i've been on this for hours and can't seem to find out a way to get it formatted correctly or even work without formatting it tgarbrechtALTacc 20 — 4y

It seems like you were attempting to print out the tool instances, but wanted to print out the tool names. This should work:
local c = plr.Backpack:GetChildren()
local backpack = {}
for i = 1,#c do
if c[i]:IsA("Tool") then
if i == #c then
table.insert(backpack, c[i].Name)
else
table.insert(backpack, c[i].Name..", ")
end
end
end
print(unpack(backpack)) --This will print each of the values in "backpack", each separated by a comma (except for the last value)

Thank you so much, it works. Any way to separate it with commas or no? tgarbrechtALTacc 20 — 4y

Nevermind, figured it out on my own. tgarbrechtALTacc 20 — 4y

Yep. If anything, I updated the post so that the values are separated by commas. Alexrocks911 15 — 4y
