Starter pack tool giver and remove command not working?

local com = ";remove gear"
players = game.Players:GetChildren()

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	
	if player:GetRankInGroup(42142) >= 7 then
	player.Chatted:connect(function(message)
		if message == com then
			game.players.StarterGear:ClearAllChildren()
			end
		end)
	end
end)

local com2 = ";add SMG"
players = game.Players:GetChildren()

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	
	if player:GetRankInGroup(42142) >= 7 then
	player.Chatted:connect(function(message)
		if message == com2 then
			game.ServerStorage.Tools.SMG:Clone().Parent = game.players.StarterGear
			end
		end)
	end
end)

On the ;remove gear command it removes starter gear. On the ;add SMG gear it adds the SMG gun to the starter gear. These commands don't work. Why is this?

Try to make it where it insert the tool into the backpack. Here's a code:

 game.ServerStorage.Tools.SMG:Clone().Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack

If that doesn't work, then try capitalizing "players". You say game.players, that might not work because it's case-sensitive.

game.players.StarterGear --game.Players.StarterGear
