I have this script in my tool, but I want it to automatically hold the Tool. How?

script.Parent.Handle.Touched:connect(function(hit) 
pcall(function() 
player = game.Players:getPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) 
script.Parent:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack 
script.Parent:Remove() 
end) 
end)

How do I make it automatically hold the item when grabbed or taken off the ground?

Hi ken,

You make the Player equip the tool by parenting the tool to the Character. What you're trying to do is quite simple and I just made a short script that accomplishes it. I would hope that you examine this script and learn from it, it's the best way to learn how to do what you're asking.

local part = script.Parent; -- The part that has the tool.

part.Touched:Connect(function(obj)
    local hum = obj.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid"); -- To check if a player touched the part.

    if hum then -- Checks if it's a player that touched the part.
        local tool = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ToolToGive"):Clone(); -- Clones the tool.

        tool.Parent = obj.Parent; -- Parents it to the Character

        part:Destroy(); -- Destroys the part so nobody else can get the tool.
    end
end)

Well, hope I helped and have a fabulous day/night.

Thanks,

Best regards,
