How would I find or if the player has tool equipped?
Hey scriptinghelpers, I'm working on a tool. So the touch is fine everything works but, I'm trying to add or if the player has the tool equipped then to this function (or something like it similar doesn't have to be an if then statement). I don't really know how I would do this or, where I would put this.
This is a script inside of a Handle(part), handle is inside of a tool.
1 | --I have other scripts that give the tool away so, it's constantly changing. |
2 | function onTouch(part) |
3 | local character = part.Parent |
4 | local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character) |
5 | script.Parent.BrickColor = player.TeamColor |
6 | script.Parent.Value.Value = player.TeamColor |
7 | end |
8 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouch) |
Thanks for the help in advance! I appreciate it.
Thanks Xyternal for the solution! Here's my script I ended up with.
01 | local player = script:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA"Player" or game:GetService"Players":GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Parent) |
02 | function toolEquipped() |
03 | game.ReplicatedStorage.StringValue.Value = "Equipped" |
04 | game.ReplicatedStorage.BrickColorValue.Value = player.TeamColor |
05 | end |
06 | function toolUnequipped() |
07 | game.ReplicatedStorage.StringValue.Value = "Unequipped" |
08 | end |
09 | script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(toolEquipped) |
10 | script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(toolUnequipped) |

My all time favorite is the StringValue. You can make one StringValue in Rep Storage and in your tool, you can add this one script
local script function
01 | function ToolEquipped() |
02 | game.ReplicatedStorage.StringValue.Value = "Equipped" |
03 |
04 | end |
05 |
06 | function ToolUnEquipped() |
07 | game.ReplicatedStorage.StringValue.Value = "Uneuipped" |
08 |
09 | end |
10 |
11 | script.Parent.Equipped:connect(ToolEquipped) |
12 | script.Parent.UnEquipped(ToolUnEquipped) |
Server script inside serverscriptservice
1 | local value = game.ReplicatedStorage.StringValue |
2 |
3 | while true do |
4 | if value.Value = "Equipped" then |
5 | --code |
6 | else |
7 | --code |
8 | end |
