How to clone a tool from replicated storage to backpack with a dialog?
So I'm making a little hangout place for me and my friends and I was thinking of making a bar with a dialog. The dialog works well but it doesn't give me the item. Here's the script I wrote. The script is right inside the DialogChoice.
local rootBeer = game.ReplicatedStorage.RootBeer
workspace.Dialog.DialogChoiceSelected:connect(function(player,choice)
if choice.Name == "RootBeer" then
local clone = rootBeer:Clone() -- Setting the clone to the variable "clone"
clone.Parent = player.Backpack -- setting "clone"'s parent to player.Backpack
end
end)

Hi! First of all it's kinda weird how you have the dialog directly in the workspace. It's usually a child of a part, like a character's head.
Second of all, you must use a LocalScript (or ModuleScript required by LocalScript) and you must put that LocalScript in either StarterPlayerScripts or StarterCharacterScripts. Since a localscript is client-side only, if you want everyone else to see the tool as well you will have to use a RemoteEvent. It's not complicated, all you have to do is add a RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage, fire it (with :FireServer()) and have a server-side script in ServerScriptService listen for the OnServerFired event. (You should definitely read the documentation though)
