How to prevent players from picking up more than 1 tool?

I have a script that let's you pick a tool up from the replicated storage by holding e on a model. but you can get tons of that tool if you keep repeatedly pressing e, which can give you more than that 1 tool. i want to make it so you only can have 1 of that tool and can't get no more.

this is the script for the ProximityPrompt

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService ("ReplicatedStorage") local keyTool = ReplicatedStorage.Keycard

local KeyPart = script.Parent

KeyPart.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect (function(player) local keyCopy = keyTool:Clone() keyCopy.Parent = player.Backpack

view source
1end)

please help!

heres my take on the script. Put this script (not local script) inside the KeyPart

view source
01local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
02local KeyTool = ReplicatedStorage.Keycard
03 
04local KeyPart = script.Parent
05local Prompt = KeyPart.ProximityPrompt
06 
07Prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
08    local bp = player.Backpack
09    if bp:FindFirstChild("Keycard") or player.Character:FindFirstChild("Keycard") then -- checks if the player already has Keycard
10        return -- does nothing if player already has Keycard
11    else -- if player doesn't have keycard
12        local KeyCopy = KeyTool:Clone()
13        KeyCopy.Parent = bp
14    end
15end)

if you want the player to keep the keycard until they leave, do this:

view source
01local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
02local KeyTool = ReplicatedStorage.Keycard
03 
04local KeyPart = script.Parent
05local Prompt = KeyPart.ProximityPrompt
06 
07Prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
08    local sg = player.StarterGear
09    if sg:FindFirstChild("Keycard") then -- checks if the player's startergear contains Keycard
10        return -- does nothing if player already has Keycard
11    else -- if player doesn't have keycard
12        local KeyCopy = KeyTool:Clone()
13        KeyCopy.Parent = sg
14    end
15end)

You should probably use his solution, it's much more simple and can work across multiple parts in case you have multiple prompts that involve giving out your keycard. ArsonMcFlames 363 — 3y

This may require some knowledge on dictionaries, but here is a script with some explanations.

view source
01local Part = script.Parent
02local ProximityPrompt = Part.ProximityPrompt
03 
04--The Tool
05local Tool = Part.Tool
06 
07--Use A Dictionary To Record Whoever Already Has the Tool
08local playerWhoHasTools = {
09 
10}
11 
12--Create Event
13ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
14    --Check dictionary to see if player already has tool
15    if not playerWhoHasTools[player.Name] then
