Why won't roblox create/move a folder to player character?
Hello! I've been trying to make an inventory script (with slots for wearing items) and there are 2 slots for weapons which are named "Weapon1" and "Weapon2". They weren't working in online mode because i was creating them locally (I have filtering enabled) and the server didn't see it, so i moved the code that creates them to a serverside script and im completely baffled.
local weps = {"Weapon1","Weapon2"}
Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plyr)
---OTHER STUFF---
for i,v in pairs(weps) do
print("weps")
local c = Instance.new("Folder",plyr.Character)
c.Name = v
if c then
print(c.Name) end
end
----OTHER STUFF----
end)
So, for some reason c exists (because it prints the name of c) but the folders aren't inside the character, I changed the destination to workspace and it created the folders. Like this:
local c = Instance.new("Folder",workspace)
The folders actually appear in the workspace but when i change the destination to the character like this:
local c = Instance.new("Folder",workspace)
c.Parent = plyr.Character
The folders are just nowhere. I have NO idea how the heck this happening...

I solved it.. It was creating the folders before the character was actually created.

You do not need the PlayerAdded event. Just use an LocalScript on StarterPlayerScripts (at starterPlayer)
local weps = {"Weapon1","Weapon2"}
for i,v in pairs(weps) do
print("weps")
local c = Instance.new("Folder",game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character) -- gets the character and inserts the folders
c.Name = v
if c then
print(c.Name)
end
end
It does not need anything to run. It runs once a player appears.
