Tool Equipped event not firing?
Hierarchy goes like this:
-Tool -Script -Particles (THIS IS A FOLDER!) -AuraParticle
repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("Character")~= nil
local tool = script.Parent
local aura = tool.Particles:FindFirstChild("AuraParticle")
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = plr:FindFirstChild("Character")
local la = char:FindFirstChild("Left Arm")
local ra = char:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")
local function auraArms()
print("Aura Arms activated!")
end
tool.Equipped:connect(auraArms)
It just doesn't want to do anything, no errors are in the output either. The tool doesn't have require a handle so that property is false, and that's really the only thing I changed in the properties of the tool.

Character is not a child of LocalPlayer, but is rather a property. Therefore your WaitForChild call will most likely never stop yielding. If you want to wait until the character is added, you could do something like this:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if not player.Character then
player.CharacterAdded:wait()
end
local character = player.Character
