If you are using Dialogue, you can use the event DialogChoiceSelected. This event detects whenever one of the dialogue choices has been selected in a dialogue.

For example, I have placed a TestDummy and have placed a Dialogue Onto It's Head, Then Inside the Dialogue, I have placed 3 Dialogue Choices.

I then created a local script and placed it onto StarterCharacter(this event only works locally).

local Dialogue = workspace.Dummy.Head.Dialog

Dialogue.DialogChoiceSelected:Connect(function(player, dialogueInstance)
    print(player, dialogueInstance) --It has default params that gives you whoever triggered it and the dialogue choice,
    --Do whatever you want here.
end)

Whenever one of the dialogue choices have been selected by the player, this event will trigger.

Note: Dialogue and DialogueChoices are two different things, DialogueChoices should be placed inside Dialogue.

Kind of, you used the event correctly, but I would recommend using a remote event because you are using a local script. Using a local script to give tools to players is not safe and it may break the tool. So I would recommend you fire a remote event to validate how much Currency the player has on the server to prevent exploiters. https://pastebin.com/SNzpLHZY ArsonMcFlames 363 — 2y

Here is what the server script is suppose to look like. ArsonMcFlames 363 — 2y
