Cloning tool from ReplicatedStorage to the player's backpack works in Studio but not in the game?
some psuedo code here to show you what i'm doing:
local weapon = game.ReplicatedStorage["GUN"]
function buy(GUI)
if boughtWeapon then
if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("GUN") == nil then
weapon:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
end
end
end
Filtering enabled is off. Works perfectly in Studio but when I publish the game the tool is invisible and sends you flying if you equip it. Note that it still works perfectly fine even in the game if you just put it in StarterPack.

Does the tool work fine in game (Not Studio) when it is not in the players backpack. It most likely has nothing to do with the Backpack but the tool itself not working in game. LegitmateTrades 159 — 6y

Turn on FilteringEnabled first, as it will protect your game from hackers and exploiters.
Also, "player" is not defined. Define it. Same for "boughtWeapon".
Altogether, this is what your script should look like:
--[[
Please note that locals will no longer work. Use standard variables.
It was alright 2 years ago, but they disabled it. You can only use locals within the same block of code now.
--]]
weapon = game.ReplicatedStorage("GUN")
boughtWeapon = true
part = script.Parent
player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
function buy()
if boughtWeapon == true then
if not player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(weapon) then
weapon:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
end
end
end
part.Touched:Connect(buy)
As for flinging the player upon equipping it, look in the script of the Tool. I can't help you with that, unfortunately.

Yes I know that was just pseudo code not the real script. I'm still having the problem and I know that the problem isn't in the tool because it works fine if you just put it in the StarterPack. The problem only happens when you clone the tool. xXrawr_xdXxOwO 24 — 6y

Try this:
local weapon = game.ReplicatedStorage["GUN"]
function buy(GUI)
if boughtWeapon then
print('bought weapon!')
if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("GUN") == nil then
local gunclone = weapon:Clone()
gunclone.Parent = player.Backpack
end
end
end
