Why isn't this script working?

Asked 206 views1 answers

So I was making a script to insert a tool into a player's startergear when they join. Here's the script:

function PlayerAdded(player)
if player.Name == workspace.ToolValues.Tool.Value then
game.ServerStorage.Tool:Clone().Parent = game.Players[player.Name].StarterGear
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(PlayerAdded)

When I try this, it says "StarterGear is not a valid member of Player" Any thoughts as to why this isn't working?

It is likely that you are trying to gain access to StarterGear before it is created. Try adding a WaitForChild method call on line 3:

game.ServerStorage.Tool:Clone().Parent = game.Players[player.Name]:WaitForChild("StarterGear")
