I am having duplication problems. Why won't this script duplicate? [CLOSED]

I am trying to make a tool that duplicates a model then moves the duplicate to Workspace. Here is what I have:

local tool = script.Parent
local clickEvent = tool.ClickEvent
local spawnblock = game.Workspace.spawnblock
local clickEventConnection

local function createPart(location)
    local work = game.Workspace
    local car = game.ReplicatedStorage.Assets.Car
    local newCar = car:Clone()
    car:Clone()
    newCar.Name = "Car"
    car.Parent = work
    car:MakeJoints()
    car:MoveTo(spawnblock.Position)
    newCar.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Assets
end

local function onClick(player, clickLocation)
    createPart(clickLocation)
end

local function onEquip()
    clickEventConnection = clickEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(onClick)
end

Here is a local script with the rest of the code:

local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local clickEvent = tool.ClickEvent

local function onActivate()
    local clickLocation = game.Workspace.spawnblock
    clickEvent:FireServer(clickLocation)
    tool:Remove()
end

tool.Activated:connect(onActivate)

local function onEquip()
    clickEventConnection = clickEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(onClick)
end

This should be it, :)

    local car = game.ReplicatedStorage.Assets.Car:Clone() --Clone it instantly! It will already get cloned.

The way I was able to fix it was by changing the method you are using to detect a click! A tool has an event called activated so if you connect that it seems to work fine!

local tool = script.Parent
local spawnblock = game.Workspace.spawnblock

local function createPart(location)
    local work = game.Workspace
    local car = game.ReplicatedStorage.Assets.Car:Clone()
    car.Parent = work
    car:MakeJoints()
    car:MoveTo(spawnblock.Position)
    car.Archivable = true
end

local function onClick(player, clickLocation)
    createPart(clickLocation)
end

local function onEquip()
    tool.Activated:connect(onClick)
end


tool.Equipped:connect(onEquip)
