How do you locate a Tool in your Backpack?
1 answer
Its based on the script, if you want to locate the tool in a player's backpack, just type :
oof = script.Parent.Parent --- Goes to the backpack, not tool, remove a Parent to detect the tool.
-- then add it to anywhere you want.
That is all i know, if it didn't work, tell me :D Oh, and also, make sure to place the Script inside the Tool, do not put it inside a block which is inside the tool, if you need to do that, add a Parent to the line up there, and also, if there are more than 1 tools, then add this to find the tool you need.
oof = script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("ToolName")
-- not sure if this one works :)
Those lines only work in a script which is inside a tool. You can make it simple though, like
oof = script.Parent
Good luck!

This would give an error, like " Value is not a member of Tool", The line you wrote is trying to find a value inside your TOOL., if you expect the script to find something INSIDE the tool, like blocks, the line you wrote also works i cannot explain anymore.

Are you using a server script or a localscript?
localscript
