Accessing Backpack from Server?

Asked by 8 years ago

I'm trying to access a value inside the Players Backpack via a script from the server:

function onClick(plr)
    local find = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack.Player_Inv:FindFirstChild("Lock Pick")
    if find ~= nil then
        if find.Amount.Value > 0 then
            script.Parent:Destroy()
            find.Amount.Value = find.Amount.Value - 1
        end
    end
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClick)

Scripts like these have worked in the past, so I'm not sure what the problem is here. Also, there is nothing printed in the output related to this script. Help?

You can't use

local find = game.Players.LocalPlayer

from a Script, only LocalScripts.

Remember the plr variable in the function? This is the player who clicked. So instead of using

local find = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack.Player_Inv:FindFirstChild("Lock Pick")

use

local find = plr.Backpack.Player_Inv:FindFirstChild("Lock Pick")
