I want to make an item spawn into the player's backpack when I touch a specific block, but when I touch it, it doesn't give me the tool. What am I doing wrong?
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function()
local gravity = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GravityCoil")
gravity:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
end)
First off, it's important to know that LocalPlayer only runs in a LocalScript, and LocalScript is limited in where it can be used, compared to a server Script:
For more info and reference: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/LocalScript
Second, in order to clone a tool to a player's backpack, you need to access that specific player's Character:
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
-- Detects if the part that 'hit' the brick contains a Humanoid
if hit.Parent.Humanoid then
-- Function GetPlayerFromCharacter returns the Character associated with the player (hit.Parent)
plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
-- Clones tool into player's backpack
local gravity = game.ReplicatedStorage.GravityCoil:Clone()
gravity.Parent = plr.Backpack
end
end)
Hopefully this helps.
can a local script go into a part like a wedge or a regular part
i dont know why but it not working i put it in one of my parts as a child of that part
To my and the wiki's knowledge, you can't use a LocalScript as a child of a Part, unless that Part is a Tool. You need to use this code in a server Script.
it gives the part like 1000 times, i've tried adding wait statements but it doesnt work
Fix: local db = false - 1st line : wait(2) - last line of script (9) : db == false 10th line as the wait statement is line 9.
