Backpack is not a valid member of Player???

Asked 570 views1 answers

So this is my gamepass script for a player to receive an "Exceed" so they can fly around the map. Apparently it pops up with an error "Backpack is not a valid member of Player" does anyone know why?

local passId = 000000000
local Tools = {"Exceed"}
local GamePassService = game:GetService("GamePassService")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	repeat wait() until Player.Backpack
	repeat wait() until Player.StarterGear
	if GamePassService:PlayerHasPass(Player, passId) then
		for i = 1, #Tools do
			game.Lighting.Tools:FindFirstChild(Tools[i]):Clone().Parent = Player.Backpack
			game.Lighting.Tools:FindFirstChild(Tools[i]):Clone().Parent = Player.StarterGear
		end
	end
end)

Try this:

local passId = 00000000
local Tools = {"Exceed"}
local GamePassService = game:GetService("GamePassService")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    local Backpack = Player:WaitForChild("Backpack")
    local StarterGear = Player:WaitForChild("StarterGear")
    if GamePassService:PlayerHasPass(Player, passId) then
        for i,v in pairs(Tools) do
	    game.Lighting.Tools:FindFirstChild(v):Clone().Parent = Backpack
            game.Lighting.Tools:FindFirstChild(v):Clone().Parent = StarterGear
        end
    end
end)

The only changes I made was using the WaitForChild function instead of the repeat loop.

If you have any other problems, be sure to comment on this answer so we can work it out.

Also, don't use Lighting for storage. Use ReplicatedStorage when accessing from LocalScripts and ServerStorage when accessing from Server Scripts.
