LocalScript gives tool in studio test mode but not in real play mode?
So I am very new to scripting and I'm trying to make a tool move into a players starterpack when they press a button.
01 | local button = script.Parent |
02 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
03 |
04 | button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() |
05 | button.Parent.TextLabel.Visible = false |
06 | button.Visible = false |
07 | local fireball = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("Fireball"):Clone() |
08 | fireball.Parent = player:FindFirstChild("StarterGear") |
09 | wait(0.5) |
10 | player.Character.Humanoid.Health = nil |
11 | end) |
It works completely fine in studio test mode, however in play mode the player is reset, the gui on their screen disappears, but they don't get the tool?
The LocalScript is inside a button in StarterGui.
In play mode there is no error output in Client Log.
Edit - I want to keep the game with FE on, is there any fix?

This can be fixed by adding this little bit of code:
01 | local gui = button.Parent.Parent |
02 | --change ^^ to the right path of the ScreenGui |
03 | wait(0.2) |
04 | local button = script.Parent |
05 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
06 | if not player.Character ~= nil then |
07 | gui.ResetOnSpawn = false |
08 | gui.Enabled = true |
09 | end |
10 | button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() |
11 | button.Parent.TextLabel.Visible = false |
12 | button.Visible = false |
13 | local fireball = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("Fireball"):Clone() |
14 | fireball.Parent = player:FindFirstChild("StarterGear") |
15 | wait(0.5) |
16 | player.Character.Humanoid.Health = nil |
17 | end) |
01 | local button = script.Parent |
02 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
03 |
04 | button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
05 | button.Parent.TextLabel.Visible = galse |
06 | button.Visible = false |
07 | local fireball = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("Fireball"):Clone() |
08 | fireball.Parent = player:WaitForChild("StarterGear") |
09 | fireball:Clone().Parent = player:WaitForChild("Backpack") |
10 | end) |
What I did was added another code, which is fireball:Clone().Parent = player:WaitForChild("Backpack") and removed line 10 because it actually kills the player. StarterGear is what holds tools a player will get everytime they die, but will not have the tool when given directly, so I added Line 6. Hope this helped.

I'm not a pro scripter but put wait(1) at the start and then test it in multiplayer and see if it works. Sometimes in multiplayer the item you are trying to define isn't loaded and the script can't pass it because it sees it as an error.
01 | wait(1) |
02 | local button = script.Parent |
03 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
04 |
05 | button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() |
06 | button.Parent.TextLabel.Visible = false |
07 | button.Visible = false |
08 | local fireball = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("Fireball"):Clone() |
09 | fireball.Parent = player:FindFirstChild("StarterGear") |
10 | wait(0.5) |
11 | player.Character.Humanoid.Health = nil |
12 | end) |
