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
end)
please help!

heres my take on the script. Put this script (not local script) inside the KeyPart
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local KeyTool = ReplicatedStorage.Keycard
local KeyPart = script.Parent
local Prompt = KeyPart.ProximityPrompt
Prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
local bp = player.Backpack
if bp:FindFirstChild("Keycard") or player.Character:FindFirstChild("Keycard") then -- checks if the player already has Keycard
return -- does nothing if player already has Keycard
else -- if player doesn't have keycard
local KeyCopy = KeyTool:Clone()
KeyCopy.Parent = bp
end
end)
if you want the player to keep the keycard until they leave, do this:
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local KeyTool = ReplicatedStorage.Keycard
local KeyPart = script.Parent
local Prompt = KeyPart.ProximityPrompt
Prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
local sg = player.StarterGear
if sg:FindFirstChild("Keycard") then -- checks if the player's startergear contains Keycard
return -- does nothing if player already has Keycard
else -- if player doesn't have keycard
local KeyCopy = KeyTool:Clone()
KeyCopy.Parent = sg
end
end)

This may require some knowledge on dictionaries, but here is a script with some explanations.
local Part = script.Parent
local ProximityPrompt = Part.ProximityPrompt
--The Tool
local Tool = Part.Tool
--Use A Dictionary To Record Whoever Already Has the Tool
local playerWhoHasTools = {
}
--Create Event
ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
--Check dictionary to see if player already has tool
if not playerWhoHasTools[player.Name] then
local toolClone = Tool:Clone()
toolClone.Parent = player.Backpack
--Record player in dictionary so they don't get the tool again.
playerWhoHasTools[player.Name] = true
end
--Create Event So When Human Dies, They Are Removed from the Dictionary
local humanPart = player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if humanPart then
local humanEvent
humanEvent = humanPart.Died:Connect(function()
--Remove from Dictionary
playerWhoHasTools[player.Name] = nil
--Disconnect Event
humanEvent:Disconnect()
end)
end
end)
