EquipTool and UnequipTools are methods of the Humanoid class. You are trying to call them on a Player.

player.Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(x)

player.Character.Humanoid:UnequipTools()

The issue is both of these lines:

player:EquipTool(w)
player:UnequipTools()

The Player object doesn't consist of those two functions. You can't just call arbitrary functions on objects and expect them to do what you wish. Try adding the cloned tools to the player's Backpack.

@qwrn12 You can't force someone to equip a tool, as far as I know. Programmix 285 — 9y

They actually aren't arbitrary methods, they exist in the wiki under methods of Humanoid. 1waffle1 2908 — 9y
