function onEquip
"Blah blah blah"
something.Equipped:connect(onEquip)

But a Script like:

script.Parent.Equipped:connect(function(...

What you are trying to create is something called an anonymous function, a function that does not have a direct identifier, or name.

You can only use these kinds of functions with built-in ROBLOX events, such as Equipped or Touched.

yourTool.Equipped:connect(function()
    --Code for when the Tool is equipped.
end)

That would be the same thing as

function onEquipped()
    --Code for when the Tool is equipped.
end

yourTool.Equipped:connect(onEquipped)

But in a less amount of lines.

Here is the Wiki page on anonymous functions so you can read more about them.

Oh, I thought the Way I wanted was a faster way, thanks! KenzaXI 166 — 9y

They both do the exact same thing. One just takes up less lines. Discern 1007 — 9y
