Why won't the player's backpack autoequip by clicking a gui?

Asked by

I'm trying to make the player, whenever he/she clicks a gui button, equip a tool from the player's backpack. It says it keeps failing at line 15. The error is listed below. Can someone explain to me why it is giving me an error? (Yes, it is in a LocalScript.)

Error: Players.Player1.PlayerGui.Backpack.ScrollingFrame.AutoEquip:15: attempt to index global 'findval' (a nil value)

An easier way to do this would be how I've done it below assuming the LocalScript is inside the button of the Gui.

view source
1TOOLHERE = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack["SwordOrSomething"]
2 
3script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
4    game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(TOOLHERE)
5end)

to un-equip the tools you might as well use this line it's just nice and simple. I'm not saying this is the best way to do it I'm just giving you an easier option to what you have already.

1game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:UnequipTools()

There are plenty more people on here that can explain this better than me.
