Tool Equipped event not firing?
Hierarchy goes like this:
-Tool -Script -Particles (THIS IS A FOLDER!) -AuraParticle
01 | repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("Character")~= nil |
02 |
03 | local tool = script.Parent |
04 | local aura = tool.Particles:FindFirstChild("AuraParticle") |
05 | local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer |
06 | local char = plr:FindFirstChild("Character") |
07 | local la = char:FindFirstChild("Left Arm") |
08 | local ra = char:FindFirstChild("Right Arm") |
09 |
10 | local function auraArms() |
11 | print("Aura Arms activated!") |
12 | end |
13 |
14 | 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:
1 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
2 | if not player.Character then |
3 | player.CharacterAdded:wait() |
4 | end |
5 | local character = player.Character |
