Equipped is not a valid member of Part? Works for another tool
Making a tool that is supposed to spawn a clone of the tool in hand on M1. Works on other tool, but not with the one I put the LocalScript in.
For context, the LocalScript is in the tool 'Handle' and has a RemoteEvent that has a script descendent.
On test, the following error pops up: Equipped is not a valid member of Part "Players.[PlayerName].Backpack.[ModelName].Handle"
Interestingly enough, this LocalScript (and all it's descendents) functions properly on the original tool it was in and I've double checked to see if I've missed any parts in the tool that are maybe critical and found none apart from a Handle (which is already in the tool I'm trying to debug)
Below is the LocalScript in question, any help would be appreciated:
bin = script.Parent
function onSelected(mouse)
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
script.RemoteEvent:FireServer(mouse.hit.p)
script.Parent:Destroy()
end)
end
bin.Equipped:connect(onSelected)

When you are referring to bin, you are referring to a part of the tool. ** Check the location of the local script. **As you can see by the error, you are referring to a part of the tool (the handle), not the tool itself.
I have two fixes.
1. Move the localscript so it is directly under the tool or you can change the variable.
or
2. Replace the script
Instead of
bin = script.Parent
do
bin = script.Parent.Parent
Because if you do the first one, you are merely referring to a part. The second one is referring to the tool. Here is the full script:
bin = script.Parent.Parent
function onSelected(mouse)
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
script.RemoteEvent:FireServer(mouse.hit.p)
script.Parent:Destroy()
end)
end
bin.Equipped:connect(onSelected)
But why does this error occur in the first place?
The handle is merely a part, it does not contain the .equipped event. You are trying to connect the .equipped event to a function via the handle but the handle does not have that property. Instead use the tool. The tool contains the .equipped event.
