Tool adds/removes accessories even when unequipped?

I've found a temporary solution for a previous for a previous problem but a new issue has arisen. The tool does what I want it to, but the problem is that it does this even when the tool isn't equipped, which is an issue for obvious problems.

Here is the script:

local ISEquipped = false
local Mask = script:WaitForChild("Mask")
local Hood = script:WaitForChild("Hood")
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
    ISEquipped = true
end)
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    ISEquipped = false
end)

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
    if plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") then
        if plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Mask") == nil then
            Mask:Clone().Parent = plr.Character
            Hood:Clone().Parent = plr.Character
        elseif plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Mask") then
            plr.Character.Mask:Destroy()
            plr.Character.Hood:Destroy()
        end
    end
end)

And the local script:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = Player:GetMouse()

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    script.Parent.RemoteEvent:FireServer()
end)

The tool as it is in the workspace:

Tool

Script & Local Script & Remote Event

[Inside Script] Mask & Hood (Accessories)

I've tried a few different things but whatever I do either seems to break it or not change anything. Any and all help is appreciated.

I think you forgot to fire if ISEquipped is true or false in the Server, try this:

local ISEquipped = false
local Mask = script:WaitForChild("Mask")
local Hood = script:WaitForChild("Hood")
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
    ISEquipped = true
end)
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    ISEquipped = false
end)

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
    if plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") then
        if ISEquipped == true then
            if plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Mask") == nil then
                Mask:Clone().Parent = plr.Character
                Hood:Clone().Parent = plr.Character
            elseif plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Mask") then
                plr.Character.Mask:Destroy()
                plr.Character.Hood:Destroy()
            end
        else
            print("Tool is not equipped! Equip in order to work.")
        end
    end
end)

If there are mistakes, lemme know. ????

It seems that even if the tool is equipped it'll still print("tool is not equipped"). Any idea why that might be? AnomalousRobot 2 — 1y

Finally found the solution! Here it is:

  • Add a part to the tool named Handle [The part can be almost anything as long as it's unanchored and named Handle]
  • Change the script to this:
local ISEquipped = false
local Mask = script:WaitForChild("Mask")
local Hood = script:WaitForChild("Hood")
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
    ISEquipped = true
end)
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    ISEquipped = false
end)

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
    if ISEquipped then
        if plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") then 
            if plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Mask") == nil then
                Mask:Clone().Parent = plr.Character
                Hood:Clone().Parent = plr.Character
            elseif plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Mask") then
                plr.Character.Mask:Destroy()
                plr.Character.Hood:Destroy()
else
            end
        end
    end
end)

Hope this will be helpful to anyone in the future!
