Why won't this clone?

I made this really simple script, but it's not working.

local backpack = game.Players.LocalPlayer.BackPack
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function()
    game.Lighting.Sword:Clone(backpack)
end)

Help?

You have to set the parent;

game.Lighting.Sword:Clone().Parent = backpack

One error you had is you said "BackPack" but it needs to be "Backpack" Tempestatem 884 — 10y

Neither of yours work, I don't know what's going on! Wait, is it because it doesn't work in test? Grenaderade 525 — 10y

Try this. Make sure you put it in the part that gives the sword.

local sword = game.Lighting.Sword
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(h)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(h.Parent) -- find the player from the character

    if (player) then
        -- a player touched it

        local clone = sword:Clone()
        clone.Parent = player.Backpack -- parent the clone to the player's backpack
    end
end)

Put this in Local Script. That's why none of these work. You didn't put it on Local Script fireboltofdeath 635 — 10y

Oh and..... Do you have a object named "Sword"? It has to have capital. fireboltofdeath 635 — 10y
