Tool not giving a tool from replicated storage (?)
Anyway I made a tool that has a secret feature, when pressing E It gives you a tool that lets you put people In jail, however It appears that I am attempting to Index nil with 'Backpack'???
Script (Local script):
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
script.Parent.GiveItem:FireServer()
end
end)
Script (Server script):
local tool = script.Parent
local ReplicatedStorage = game.ReplicatedStorage
local HiddenTools = ReplicatedStorage.SecretItems
local Player
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(client)
Player = client
end)
tool.GiveItem.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
local JailCell = HiddenTools["Jail Cell"]:Clone()
JailCell.Parent = Player.Backpack
tool.UserInputService:Destroy()
script:Destroy()
end)

That's because in this case the Player variable in ServerScript can be nil if game.Players.PlayerAdded isn't fired. i'm assuming you're trying to give the Hiddentool to the player who holds the tool. try replacing your ServerScript's script with this Script
local tool = script.Parent
local ReplicatedStorage = game.ReplicatedStorage
local HiddenTools = ReplicatedStorage.SecretItems
tool.GiveItem.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
if tool.Parent = Player.Character then -- check if player holds the tool
local JailCell = HiddenTools["Jail Cell"]:Clone()
JailCell.Parent = Player.Backpack
tool.UserInputService:Destroy()
script:Destroy()
end
end)
