How do I clone a tool in the workspace and put it in a players back pack when a part is touched?
I am trying to create a script within a part that when the part is touched, will clone a tool from within the workspace and put it in the players backpack. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
Here is the script I have came up with that is not working:
local tool = game.Workspace.FryingPan
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer --finds the script's parent, the player.
function Touch(hit)--when clicked, function
tool:Clone() --clones tool
tool:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack --has the cloned tool's parent the player's Backpack
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(Touch)

if i'm correct, you're doing this in a ServerScript and using Player.LocalPlayer will not work.
instead, you're gonna use player.PlayerAdded or :GetPlayerFromCharacter
local tool = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("FryingPan")
local player = game:GetService("Players")
function touched(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then -- If it's a humanoid
local plr = player:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) -- we get the player from the character
if plr then -- if player exist then
tool:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
end
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(touched)
