Why is this player spawning and tool loading script not working?
This script is in a regular (non-local) script, and is supposed to equip a weapon when a game begins.
Everything is defined, however, nothing works. I have no idea why, as output has given me nothing.
Can someone please help me?
Here's the script:
01 | local Player = script.Parent.Parent |
02 | local GUI = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Loadout_GUI") |
03 | local Playing = game.ServerScriptService.MainGame:WaitForChild("Playing") |
04 | local P1 = Player.Classes[GUI.Classy.Value]:WaitForChild("Primary") |
05 | local S = Player.Classes[GUI.Classy.Value]:WaitForChild("Secondary") |
06 |
07 | while wait(0.1) do |
08 | if Playing.Value == true then |
09 | local Primary = game.ServerStorage.Weapons[P1.Value]:clone() |
10 | local Secondary = game.ServerStorage.Weapons[S.Value]:clone() |
11 | Primary.Parent = Player.Backpack |
12 | Secondary.Parent = Player.Backpack |
13 | Player.CameraMode = "LockFirstPerson" |
14 | Player.Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(Player:WaitForChild("Backpack"):WaitForChild(Primary.Name)) |
15 | script:Destroy() |
16 | end |
17 | end |

You may have an infinite yield or Playing may not be true in ServerScriptService.
If GUI is a ScreenGui in StarterGui, then you need to add an additional "Parent" to Player.
local Player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent --script.Parent = ScreenGui --script.Parent.Parent = StarterGui --script.Parent.Parent.Parent = Player
Try assertion as well:
01 | --This code is based on the fact everything in your code is valid and everything is defined. |
02 | assert(game.Players:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Name), 'Could not find a Player (Player).') |
03 | assert(script.Parent:FindFirstChild 'Loadout_GUI', 'Could not find Loadout_GUI (ScreenGui).') |
04 | assert(game.ServerScriptService:FindFirstChild 'MainGame', 'Could not find MainGame (Object).') |
05 | assert(game.ServerScriptService.MainGame:FindFirstChild 'Playing', 'Could not find Playing (BoolValue).') |
06 |
07 | assert(script.Parent.Loadout_GUI:FindFirstChild 'Classy', 'Could not find Classy (Value).') |
08 | assert(Player:FindFirstChild 'Classes', 'Could not find Classes (Object).') |
09 | assert(Player.Classes[Gui.Classy.Value]:FindFirstChild 'Primary', 'Could not find Primary (Object).') |
10 | assert(Player.Classes[Gui.Classy.Value]:FindFirstChild 'Secondary', 'Could not find Secondary(Object).') |
