i made a script that gives a player a tool, but when i test it it doesn't work and in the output it says:
Attempt to index nil with 'Backpack'
Here's the script:
local trowel = assets.Trowel:Clone()
trowel.Parent = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(player).Backpack
help
It can be because the script starts running before the Backpack is fully loaded in. Try pasting this script:
local trowel = assets.Trowel:Clone()
trowel.Parent = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(player):WaitForChild("Backpack",100)
it doesn't work and in the output it says Attempt to index nil with 'Backpack'
Easy, Now look why are you trying to find player from character when you already have it. Another is it has to be game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetCharacterFromPlayer()
Just use this.
local trowel = assets.Trowel:Clone()
trowel.Parent = game.Workspace.LocalPlayer.Backpack
Also, make sure it's a LocalScript and it's parent is StarterPlayer > StarterPlayerScripts
Also, if that's all you need then just put the tool in StarterPack.
It's a very bad idea to clone tools on a client, it won't be visible to others.
Yes, Ik i said its better to put it in starterpack. Then you would need to use bunch of events.

Are these the only 2 lines in your script? What is 'player'?
Your question has insufficient information. Does the player variable come from a PlayerAdded event? Does the player variable come from a For -- In -- Do? The question is too varying for me to give a proper answer.
