Why doesn't parenting a tool into a character work?
I'm trying to force a player to equip a tool by simply cloning it from ServerStorage into their Character model. Although this works fine in Play Solo, when I play online it doesn't work. Although the tool does clone into the character model, it appears to not be welded or positioned correctly on the arm. The Handle spawns at a single point in the world, then falls and gets deleted. What can I do to fix this?
Here's the code, although it's really not the problem, you can use it for reference.
local box = script.Parent.SelectionBox
local weaponName = script.Parent.Name
local weapon = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild(weaponName)
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
--Check for projectile
if not hit or not hit.Parent then return end
local chr = hit.Parent
local hum = chr:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if hum and hum.Health > 0 and not chr:FindFirstChild(weaponName) and box.Visible then
box.Visible = false
local tool = weapon:Clone()
tool.Parent = chr
wait(5)
box.Visible = true
end
end)

I'm not online 24/7 :/. Anyways, it doesn't work. It works on PlaySolo, but online it does the same thing as before. This is because the wiki says "This item behaves in the same way as parenting a tool to a Player's character." http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=EquipTool ZeptixBlade 215 — 9y

This answer was done with out studio, I will edit this code later when I have studio.
local box = script.Parent:WaitForChild('SelectionBox') -- Wait for it!
local weaponName = script.Parent.Name
local weapon = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild(weaponName)
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
--Check for projectile
if not hit or not hit.Parent then return end
local chr = hit.Parent
local hum = chr:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if hum and hum.Health > 0 and not chr:FindFirstChild(weaponName) and box.Visible then
box.Visible = false
hum:EquipTool(weapon:Clone()) -- Use this function to equip the tool
wait(5)
box.Visible = true
end
end)
I hope this helped : D

I don't understand why your script doesn't work I even error checked it, this is most likely a roblox bug and you should report it to ! TheDarkOrganism 173 — 9y
