Accessing Backpack from Server?
I'm trying to access a value inside the Players Backpack via a script from the server:
01 | function onClick(plr) |
02 | local find = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack.Player_Inv:FindFirstChild("Lock Pick") |
03 | if find ~= nil then |
04 | if find.Amount.Value > 0 then |
05 | script.Parent:Destroy() |
06 | find.Amount.Value = find.Amount.Value - 1 |
07 | end |
08 | end |
09 | end |
10 |
11 | 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
1 | 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
1 | local find = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack.Player_Inv:FindFirstChild("Lock Pick") |
use
1 | local find = plr.Backpack.Player_Inv:FindFirstChild("Lock Pick") |
