How Do I Make The Tool Remove After 5 Seconds?

What I'm trying to make this script do is when a player killed a test dummy. The item from the test dummy will drop on the ground, but the tool is in lighting though not in the test dummy and if the player don't pick up that item, then it will be remove in a certain amount of time. How can I do that? Can somebody help me?

function Drop() 
local drops = {"Item"} 
local G = math.random(1, 1) 
local Obj = game.Lighting:findFirstChild(drops[G]):Clone() 
Obj.Parent = game.Workspace --
Obj.Handle.CFrame = script.Parent.Head.CFrame + Vector3.new(5,2,0) 
script:remove()
end 


while true do 
    wait(.1) 
    if (script.Parent.Humanoid.Health <1) then 
        Drop() 
    end 
end

For your main script:

local s = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("DummyToolHandler"):Clone()
s.Parent = Obj

For the "DummyToolHandler" script:

Make a script called "DummyToolHandler". It should be in ReplicatedStorage (I recommend this for everything you want to keep out of the game unless moved, better than Lighting). This is it's code.

Note: This script will make the tool get deleted if dropped by the player, or anytime it's parent is not Backpack or the parent does not have a child named HumanoidRootPart, after the countdown of 5 seconds.

local tool = script.Parent
local maxNum = 5
local num = 0
local parent = tool.Parent
local find = tool.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local enabled = true

while enabled == true do
    while tool.Parent ~= "Backpack" or not find do
        wait(1)
        num = num + 1
    end

    tool.AncestryChanged:connect(function(child, par)
        if parent ~= par and child == tool then
            enabled = true
        end
    end)

    repeat wait() until num == 5

    if tool.Parent ~= "Backpack" or not find then
        tool:remove()
    else
        num = 0
        enabled = false
    end
wait()
end

Hopefully this worked :P Sometimes repeat wait() until --code1 == --code2 doesn't work...
