Tool disabled if picked up?
Picking up this weapon / having it spawned in my inventory makes it as if it's disabled - the cursor doesn't change, and the scripts inside don't run. I'm wondering if this is an issue with my script or not? These are the opening lines;
game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:wait()
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local tool = script.Parent
local handle = script.Parent.Handle
local reloading = false
local equipped = false
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
equipped = true
end)
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
equipped = false
end)
local mag = script.Parent.Handle.mag
local clip = script.Parent.Handle.clip
local outOfAmmo = false
local magMax = 50
local clipMax = 10
local debounce = false
local ignore = {workspace.doNotCollide,player.Character}
Thanks.

The problem here is that the script is waiting for the character to spawn - when the script runs, the character already exists, so the code waits until the player respawns (but you won't be able to tell since the tool gets removed just before the new character is made).
So:
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait() -->> Character does not exist, it will wait for it to spawn -->> But if it does exist, it simply sets the variable and no yielding happens
Hope I helped!
