Why isn't this gamepass tool script give tools after player resets?

Asked by

Hello,

I made this script to give a tool to a player if they own a gamepass when they join the game. That part works fine. The problem is that if the player resets, they don't get the tool back. I tried to use a PlayerAdded event, but it doesn't seem to work.

Here is my script:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local ID = plr.UserId
    wait()
    if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(ID, 4726509) then
     plr:WaitForChild("Backpack",50)
     local boomclo = game.ServerStorage.Tools.BoomBox:Clone()
     boomclo.Parent = plr.Backpack
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
         local boomclo = game.ServerStorage.Tools.BoomBox:Clone()
     boomclo.Parent = plr.Backpack
    end)
else
print("No gamepass!")
end
end)

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

To make sure the player doesn’t lose the tool on death, place the clone in StarterGear as well.

boomclo:Clone().Parent = plr.StarterGear

Reason is, you aren't waiting for the backpack, that's the reason it's not working. Here is a fix:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
repeat wait() until plr.Backpack
   local ID = plr.UserId
        if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PlayerHasPass(ID, 4726509) then
         local boomclo = game.ServerStorage.Tools.BoomBox:Clone()
         boomclo.Parent = plr.Backpack
    end
    end)

P.S. I made it a bit smaller :P

You can use a character added event

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        local ID = plr.UserId
        wait()
        if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(ID, 4726509) then
            plr:WaitForChild("Backpack",50)
            local boomclo = game.ServerStorage.Tools.BoomBox:Clone()
            boomclo.Parent = plr.Backpack
        end
    end)    
end)

Use that instead. Add the character added up at the top after playeradded. Character added fires when a player first spawns or respawns. Adding it at the top will make everything inside the character added event repeat everytime they respawn.
