When a tool is equipped it's always the child of the player equipping it.

Here's the code:

01local Players = game:GetService("Players") --Get player service
02 
03Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
04    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character) -- get the in-game player that is not the service
05        local tool = player:FindFirstChild("tool")
06        if tool then
07            -- code
08        end
09    end)
10end)

can someone help with making roblox scripts only work when a certain tool is equipped?
