Is it possible to change the order of a load-out in a players Backpack?

Asked 318 views1 answers

So currently I have a custom backpack however I'm unsure how I could change the order of the layout of weapons. I'd like to have the ranged weapons (ie guns, bows) in slot 1 and melee weapons (ie swords, bats) in slot 2. For Example, If I had a sword named "AzureSword" and a gun named "Pistol" then the sword will be in slot 1 and the pistol will be in slot 2, based off of alphabetical order. I'm not sure how I could get around this without renaming the weapons. Does anyone have any ideas?

Not sure if this is useful but, custom backpack script:

local Items = {}
local frames = {}
local Equiped = nil
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character

game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack,false)

function Scan(location)
	for i,v in pairs(location:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("Tool") then
			table.insert(Items,v)
		end
	end
end

function Update()
	print(Equiped)
	for i,v in pairs(frames) do
		v:Destroy()
	end
	for i,v in pairs(Items) do
		local sam = script.Sample:Clone()
		sam.Name = v.Name
		sam.Parent = script.Parent.Holder
		sam.ImageLabel.Image = v.TextureId
		sam.Text = v.Name
		table.insert(frames,sam)
		if Equiped ~= nil and Equiped == v then
			sam.BorderSizePixel = 2
		end
		sam.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
			if Equiped == nil or Equiped ~= v then
				Equiped = v
				Character.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
				Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(v)
			else
				Equiped = nil
				Character.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
			end
		end)
	end
end

function backpackchanged()
	Items = {}
	Scan(Character)
	Scan(Player.Backpack)
	Update()
end

backpackchanged()

Player.Backpack.ChildAdded:connect(backpackchanged)
Player.Backpack.ChildRemoved:connect(backpackchanged)

Character.ChildAdded:connect(backpackchanged)
Character.ChildRemoved:connect(backpackchanged)

Create a two tables, "Primary" and "Secondary"

local Primary = {"AzureSword"} -- list of primary weapon names (string only)
local Secondary = {"Pistol"} -- list of secondary weapon names

Use a loop to check if the weapon is a primary/secondary

local Primary = {"AzureSword"}
local Secondary = {"Pistol"}

function checkPrimary(tool, location)
	for i = 1, #Primary do 
		if (tool.Name == Primary[i]) then 
			tool.Parent = location
		else
			checkSecondary(tool. location)
		end
	end
end

function checkSecondary(tool, location)
	for i = 1, #Secondary do 
		if (tool.Name== Secondary[i]) then 
			tool.Parent = location
		end
	end
end

function giveTool()
	-- remove this just an example of how to use the function
	for _, v in pairs(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:GetChildren()) do 
		if v:IsA("Tool") then 
			checkPrimary(v, game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack)
		end
	end
end
