why does this only work with 1 tool? [unanswered]
script.Parent.ChildAdded:connect(function(g)
wait(0.5)
local newtool = g
local oldtools = game.Lighting:GetChildren()
for i,v in pairs(oldtools)do
local oldname = v.Name
if newtool.Name ~= oldname then
newtool:Destroy()
end
end
end)
so basically i want this script to delete any tool that is added in players backpack if it does not have the same name as 1 of the tools in lighting. but this script only deletes the tool if there is 1 tool in lighting if there are 2 or more tools in lighting this script will not destroy the tool that is added to the backpack. please help

Pls use server storage not lighing to store models. User#5423 17 — 8y

Your script should work like this:
script.Parent.ChildAdded:connect(function(g)
if not game:service'Lighting':FindFirstChild(g.Name,true) then
g:Destroy()
--put code logging the deletion here
end;
end)
Ideally, you should store all tools in ServerStorage to prevent them being exploited into a Player's backpack, however LocalScripts cannot access this Service or any of its Descendant Instances.
