How would you cycle through weapons?
So, I've got Backpack turned off, and I'm force equipping the tools. It successfully cycles through to the next/previous gun, but it just stops working afterwards. Should I use "while true do" to keep cycling through the weapons?
Here's the snippet of code I've got at the moment:
local gun1 = game.Lighting.Guns.Runner.SniperRifle
local gun2 = game.Lighting.Guns.Runner.London
gun1.Parent = char --Force equip
if gun1.Parent == char then
print("Gun1 is parented")
mouse.WheelForward:connect(function()
print("Gun2 is parented")
gun1.Parent = game.Lighting.Guns.Runner
wait(.5)
gun2.Parent = char
end)
mouse.WheelBackward:connect(function()
print("Gun2 is parented")
gun1.Parent = game.Lighting.Guns.Runner
wait(.5)
gun2.Parent = char
end)
end
if gun2.Parent == char then
print("Gun1 is parented")
mouse.WheelForward:connect(function()
gun2.Parent = game.Lighting.Guns.Runner
wait(.5)
gun1.Parent = char
end)
end

Ok, so I managed to do a whole lot of editing to your snippet of code, and I found many things that would go wrong.
Firstly, when you parent a gun, it won't be in Lighting, so if another player tried to switch, it would brake. Instead, I cloned the gun into the player's backpack.
Secondly, parenting and unparenting tools from the character can break some guns made from popular gun makers like manofthelol and TurboFusion. Use the :EquipTool() and :UnequipTools() functions in the Humanoid.
Third, you don't need a loop, you need the if statement inside the WheelBackward and WheelForward events.
Here's what I did to your snippet. I will add comments to describe why I did what I did:
game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false) --Turn the backpack off, I'm assuming you did this
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse() --Get the player's mouse, I'm assuming you did this
local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character --Get the character, I'm assuming you did this
local gun1 = game.Lighting.Guns.Runner.SniperRifle:Clone() --Make a copy of the gun in Lighting to put in the player's backpack
local gun2 = game.Lighting.Guns.Runner.London:Clone() --Make a copy of the gun in Lighting to put in the player's backpack
local Humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid") --Easily call the player's Humanoid. But we may need to wait a bit, so use :WaitForChild()
gun1.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack --Take the copied guns and paste them into the player's backpack
gun2.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack
Humanoid:EquipTool(gun1) --Force equip
function Switch() --This is your main function that will fire every time the player moves his/her mouse wheel up or down
if gun1.Parent == char then --Check if gun1 is currently equipped
print("Gun1 is parented") --Debug
Humanoid:UnequipTools() --Unequip all the tools that the Humanoid currently has equipped
wait(.5) --Wait a little bit to make sure it unequips
print("Gun2 is parented") --Debug
Humanoid:EquipTool(gun2) --Equip the next gun
elseif gun2.Parent == char then --Same thing here, just reversed
print("Gun2 is parented") --Debug
Humanoid:UnequipTools()
wait(.5)
print("Gun1 is parented") --Debug
Humanoid:EquipTool(gun1)
end
end
mouse.WheelForward:connect(Switch) --I'm doing it this way so you can switch with both directions
mouse.WheelBackward:connect(Switch)
I tested this to make sure it would work and this is what happened
I made a LocalScript inside the StarterPack for this to work. If the snippet is from a LocalScript and is in StarterPack then you shouldn't have to worry about that.
Good luck with your future Scripting Adventures! ~lightpower26
