[IMPORTANT] How do I make a script that makes an tool get replaced by an another tool?

Asked 247 views1 answers

Hello, a beginner scripter, and I was wondering how this code would work properly, I have 2 items, item A and item B, if I go up to the item A giver, and take the item A, and then go to item B giver and take the item B, item A gets replaced with item B. (and no, I don't want any name changers or transparency changers"

This is what I have for now...

function hit(part)
	local h = game.Players.Player.Backpack["Raw Potato"]
	if h ~= false then
		end
	if h ~= true then
		h:remove()
	end
end

		
script.Parent.Touched:connect(hit)

^^ The one above doesn't work

local debounce = false

function getPlayer(humanoid) 
local players = game.Players:children() 
for i = 1, #players do 
if players[i].Character.Humanoid == humanoid then return players[i] end 
end 
return nil 
end 

function onTouch(part) 

local human = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") 
if (human ~= nil) and debounce == false then

debounce = true

local player = getPlayer(human) 

if (player == nil) then return end 

script.Parent:clone().Parent = player.Backpack

wait(2)
debounce = false
end
end


script.Parent.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

I'm just going to rewrite your script and give you comments since that just seems easier. I have no clue what script.Parent is or script.Parent.parent, so this may be completely off.

Script 1

function hit(part)
	local character = part.Parent -- get player character
	if character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then -- gake sure is a player
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(charater) -- get player
		local item = player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Raw Potato")  -- get item
		if item then -- does item exist
			item:Destroy() -- destroy item (use destroy, remove is deprecated)
		end
	end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(hit)

Script 2

local debounce = false

function onTouch(part) 
	local character = part.parent
	local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	
	if humanoid and not debounce then
		debounce = true
	
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
			script.Parent:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack -- Add item to backpack
			wait(2)
			debounce = false
		end
	end

end
script.Parent.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

Note - I am 99% sure this will not work how you want it initially, it is merely framework for you to build off of.
