Why does the tool not get placed inside of a player's backpack?
I need two different swords to be put into the player's backpacks, based on what team they are on. There is no error or warning, the script just doesn't do anything.
local RedCount = game.Teams.Red:GetPlayers()
local BlueCount = game.Teams.Blue:GetPlayers()
local RedSword = game.ServerStorage.RedSword
local BlueSword = game.ServerStorage.BlueSword
for i,v in pairs(RedCount) do
local ClonedSword = RedSword:Clone()
ClonedSword.Parent = game.Players[v].Backpack
end
for i,v in pairs(BlueCount) do
local ClonedSword = BlueSword:Clone()
ClonedSword.Parent = game.Players[v].Backpack
end
Please reply with a response or a question.
Thanks!

Hello.
The reason as to why your swords aren't cloning to the player's backpack is because you aren't defining the player properly. Using a in pairs loop will not define the player within the team, so we have to find a way around that. You can easily do this by calling the Player with the PlayerAdded function. After that, we can check what team the player is in, in our case it's either Red or Blue. From that we can determine what swords should be cloned to their backpack depending on their teams.
Here is how you would do it with this method:
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local RedTeam = Teams.Red
local BlueTeam = Teams.Blue
local RedSword = ServerStorage.RedSword
local BlueSword = ServerStorage.BlueSword
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character) -- This has no use in the current script, however it makes sure that the Character is loaded in to prevent failure to clone the items.
if Player.Team == RedTeam then
local ClonedSword = RedSword:Clone()
ClonedSword.Parent = Player.Backpack
end
if Player.Team == BlueTeam then
local ClonedSword = BlueSword:Clone()
ClonedSword.Parent = Player.Backpack
end
end)
end)
Hope this helps!
