workspace.Dispenser.Gui.SurfaceGui.Frame.TextButton1.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
local Cup = workspace.Dispenser.Box2
local Handle = workspace.Dispenser:WaitForChild('Handle') -- "Handle" assumed to already be in Workspace
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character


print('LOADED CUP')
    for i = 1,10 do
        Handle.Transparency = Handle.Transparency - 0.1
        wait(0.1)
    end
    workspace.Sound:Play()
    wait(3)
    Handle.Transparency = 1
    local NewCup = game.ServerStorage.Coffee:Clone()
    NewCup.Handle.CFrame = Cup.CFrame
    NewCup.Parent = player.Backpack
    print (NewCup.Parent)
end) -- Rewritten

When I try to run this code via LocalScript, all it prints in the output when I try to clone the item to the player's backpack is, "Backpack is not a valid member of model". I've had this problem in the past and have no idea why it happens. Also the LocalScript is placed inside StarterCharacterScripts, too.

Also if you are going to comment, "Try WaitForChild" it either doesn't work or I'm putting it in the wrong place. MustangHeart 67 — 5y

You get the backpack from the LocalPlayer, not their Character lol. And ServerStorage is inaccessible by clients, move your objects to ReplicatedStorage. User#19524 175 — 5y
