What do you mean by "crash"? Does the script just error? Does Studio actually stop responding? BlueTaslem 18071 — 8y

Is this a server script or a local script? Cause only local scripts are supposed to reach ReplicatedStorage. Try using ServerStorage if this is a server script like on line 9:

local weapon = game.ServerStorage.Weapons:FindFirstChild(swordName)

ReplicatedStorage always crashes my game, try using lighting instead. Put your swords in a model in lighting or just put your swords in lighting and use;

game.Lighting.Weapons:FindFirstChild(swordName)

Does it still crash, or can it not find the swords? feeliirie 5 — 8y
