How do I remove a tool in the backpack without error?

Asked Jul 4, 2018310 views2 answers

I want this when clicking the text button even if the tools are not in the Backpack, the Script continues without errors, and if one or all of the tools are in the Backpack are destroyed.

If you did not understand my explanation, here's a makeshift script:

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local bp = player:findFirstChild("Backpack")

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() 

        bp.Tool:Destroy()
		bp.Tool2:Destroy()
		bp.Tool3:Destroy()
		bp.Tool4:Destroy()

--script continuation...
end)

If you just want to empty the backpack, you can do

backpack:ClearAllChildren()

But if you want to remove a specific tool only if it exists, use FindFirstChild() and check if it returns nil

local tool = backpack:FindFirstChild("Tool1")
if tool then
    tool:Destroy()
end

And for multiple tools:

local tools = {"Tool1", "Tool2", "Tool3"}
for i,v in pairs(tools) do
    local tool = backpack:FindFirstChild(v)
    if tool then
        tool:Destroy()
    end
end

If you're asking to effectuate the code you've written, and if it errors keep going in the script, you may want to wrap your code in a pcall(). This will make a protected call which, when the script errors it will let it continue.

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local bp = player:findFirstChild("Backpack")

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() 
	pcall(function() -- this will make an anonymous pcall function
		bp.Tool:Destroy()
		bp.Tool2:Destroy()
		bp.Tool3:Destroy()
		bp.Tool4:Destroy()
	end)
	--script continuation...
end)
