I'm trying to get this tool to be able to reset my character.. Help?

Asked 329 views1 answers

I am following the cookbook to scripting on the ROBLOX wikia. And I'm on chapter 5 at the beginning where you make a hopperbin that resets your character once you left click.. I can't seem to get it to do that.

I have a tool that is in StarterPack and the localscript is inside the tool.

This is the code:

script.Parent.Selected:connect(function(m)
	m.Button1Down:connect(function()
		if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character then
			game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:BreakJoints()
		end
	end)
end)

This is the error: Selected is not a valid member of tool.

Your problem is that Selected is not an event, however Equipped is. Replace Selected with Equipped, and it should work. However, I believe a more convienient way would be to use the activated event like this:

script.Parent.Activated:connect(function()
    if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character then
        game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:BreakJoints()
    end
end)
