How can I find If the player has a certain Item equipped?
Ello Developers
I made this script below this text (Local-script, Inside of a button) where pressing It with a certain Item equipped will fire an event, currently, I tried doing so but It cannot fire It
Script:
01 | local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer |
02 | local Debounce = false |
03 |
04 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
05 | if not Debounce then |
06 | Debounce = true |
07 | if Player.Backpack:WaitForChild("Crossbow") then |
08 | Player.Backpack:WaitForChild("Crossbow").SpecialAbility1:FireServer() |
09 | wait(3) |
10 | Debounce = false |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 | end) |

unrelated to the specific issue, but I did notice that the Debounce is placed incorrectly, and that could cause some issues eventually. The "Debounce = true" should be on the same level of the "Debounce = false". (i.e. you could put it inside the "if Player..." statement.) sergeant_ranger 184 — 2y

If a tool is "equipped" by a player it will be parented to their character rather than their backpack. So you just have to replace Player.Backpack with Player.Character.
(Also use FindFirstChild instead of WaitForChild, WaitForChild is used to wait for something to appear rather than to check if it exists.)
1 | if Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Crossbow") then |
2 | Player.Character.Crossbow.SpecialAbility1:FireServer() |
3 | wait(3) |
4 | Debounce = false |
5 | end |
