Owner tool giver not working? [ANSWERED]
I'm trying to make a script so that when the game owner enters the game, they are given a unique tool located in ReplicatedStorage. I'm no expert on scripting, but I know some of the basics. I've been trying to come up with a script, but nothing works. This is what I already have:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(check)
if check:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
if check.Name == "Player" then
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(check)
if player ~= nil then
local tool = game.ReplicatedStorage.TOOLNAME:Clone()
tool.Parent = player.Backpack
end
end
end
end)
I've also tried this, but still I got nothing.
tool1 = game.ReplicatedStorage.Owner.Guided
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(ownercheck)
if (ownercheck.Name == "Player"~= nil) then
game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Player")
local owner = game.Workspace.Player
local tool1Clone = tool1:Clone()
owner:WaitForChild("Backpack")
tool1Clone.Parent = owner.Backpack
end
end)

Your second script is closer than the first. Let's dissect what's wrong.
This is our first issue.
(ownercheck.Name == "Player"~= nil) then
You have randomly put a
~= nil there. Let's remove that.
tool1 = game.ReplicatedStorage.Owner.Guided
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(ownercheck)
if (ownercheck.Name == "NAME HERE") then
game.Workspace:WaitForChild("NAME HERE")
local owner = game.Workspace["NAME HERE"]
if owner then -- I added this myself, to make sure the owner actually exists.
local tool1Clone = tool1:Clone()
tool1Clone.Parent = ownercheck.Backpack -- We have linked OwnerCheck to the player, so no need to go through the workspace.
end
end
end)
