I wanted to call a function to see if there was a tool in the character. However, the function returns false even though I checked and the tool was in the character.
function checkforTool()
for _,tool in ipairs(plr.Character:GetChildren()) do
if tool:IsA("Tool") then
return true
else
return false
end
end
end
Don't worry about missing variables, I'm just trying to get to the point. Am I using the for loop correctly?
##Problem
What is happening is, whenever that first object of Character is found out not to be a tool, the function will automatically return the false value.
##Solution
Wait to return the false value at the end of the loop. That way you've gone through all objects and there are no tools detected.
##Final Script
function checkforTool()
for _,tool in ipairs(plr.Character:GetChildren()) do
if tool:IsA("Tool") then
return true
end
end
return false --All you had to do was move return false to outside the for loop.
end

You could just return tool:IsA("Tool") by the way.
