Player won't get items after respawning, any help?

So, I'm making a randomizer type game where you get random items after every time you die, but the main issue is the the point of the game where you get random items. Everything works great, just except for when you respawn to get your items. When you respawn, the game will either crash, or give you 60+ items where you're meant to only get three. I've tried checking the amount of tools a player in the table has in their backpack, and so many other attempts that I just completely forgot about. And there aren't any errors in the output.


for x = 300,0,-1 do

    for j,plr in pairs(plrs) do
        if plr then
            if plr.Character then
                -- they in the game

                plr.Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
                    wait(game.Players.RespawnTime)
                    local weapons = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("weapons")

                    local melee = weapons:WaitForChild("Melee"):GetChildren()
                    local ranged = weapons:WaitForChild("Ranged"):GetChildren()
                    local misc = weapons:WaitForChild("Misc"):GetChildren()


                    local chosenMelee = melee[math.random(1,#melee)]:Clone()
                    local chosenRanged = ranged[math.random(1,#ranged)]:Clone()
                    local chosenMisc = misc[math.random(1,#misc)]:Clone()

                    chosenMelee.Parent = plr.Backpack
                    chosenRanged.Parent = plr.Backpack
                    chosenMisc.Parent = plr.Backpack

                    print(plr.Name,chosenMelee.Name,chosenRanged.Name,chosenMisc.Name)

                end)

            end
        else
            print(plrs[j].Name..' was removed')
            table.remove(plrs,j)
        end
    end


    wait(1)
    if x == 0 then
        --end of game
        wait(2)
        break
    end

end

You could just clone the items into both backpack and startergear so it would just automatically place the items into backpack on death... tightanfall 110 — 3y

the point would be to get random items and not the same ones that you had before jorcorrs 76 — 3y

I see your problem, one solution that I have in mind is that you can make a folder(parented wherever is best for you) with tools(in your case, you would create 3 folders) and get it's children in the script.

Using the event of Player called CharacterAdded, you can do something like this(I'll be using only 1 folder)

local getTools = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage').ToolsFolder:GetChildren()

game:GetService('Players').PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) -- gets player from PlayerAdded

local BP = plr.Backpack

plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function() -- events fires when character is added
local clonedTool = getTools[math.random(1, #getTools)]:Clone() -- the selected tool is cloned

clonedTool.Parent = BP
end)

i actually fixed it, I'll accept your answer anyway though jorcorrs 76 — 3y
