Tool isn't getting taken from players backpack. Any help? I accept answers!
So I'm creating a script that takes the players tool once they stop touching a seat. Nothing is happening and I'm getting an output that says "attempt to index nil with "Backpack". It is not in a local script. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
local deBounce = false
local function takeRocket(hit)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if deBounce == false then
deBounce = true
wait(1)
local rifle = player.Backpack.AssultRifle
rifle:Destroy()
deBounce = false
end
end
script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(takeRocket)

The error you say attempt to index nil with "Backpack" is because player is sometimes nil, if for example an Accessory's Handle touches the part, it's parent is not the Character but the Accessory so using GetPlayerFromCharacter on it will return nil, you can fix this by checking if player is not nil as the other guy did:
local deBounce = false
local function takeRocket(hit)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
-- This will return if player does not exist
if not (player) then
return
end
if deBounce == false then
...
Other issue is that if rocket tool is equipped, it's not in Backpack but in the Character so you should look for the tool in both like this:
local function takeRocket(hit)
local Character = hit.Parent
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)
if deBounce == false then
deBounce = true
wait(1)
local rifle = player.Backpack:FindFirstChild('AssaultRifle') or Character.AssaultRifle
rifle:Destroy()
deBounce = false

I used a different way but I'll still accept M9F 94 — 3y
