How can I add a script inside a character?
Hello, I have a script that automatically adds inside the character via "StarterPlayer > StarterCharacterScripts". But now, I need to do something different. I need to do an action (click or touch) to get it. I know how to do the "action" and I have a clone of my script located inside "ServerStorage". I know how to clone it. But I dont know how to find the character to add it into him. Any help please? I am not requesting for a script. I know how to write it but I just dont know how to make that small thing that adds it to your character (I know how to add it to a Backpack for example.).
Thank You.
1 | local button = script.Parent.Parent |

4 | script.Parent.MouseClick:connect(function(plr) |
5 | local copy = game.ServerStorage["Grapple Hook Boi"]:Clone() -- The script |
6 | copy.Parent = -- How to add to a character? |
7 | end) |

You have the player parameter of MouseClick which you've named plr. You can get the character by accessing the Character property of the player. Keep in mind that the character might not exist, so you need to use an if statement for that.
1 | script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr) |
2 | local copy = game.ServerStorage["Grapple Hook Boi"]:Clone() |
3 |
4 | local character = plr.Character |
5 | if character then |
6 | copy.Parent = character |
7 | end |
8 | end) |
PS: Use Connect not connect

im pretty sure that you want to parent your script to the player's character, so you could do that by using the parameter of the MouseClick event which gets the player that clicked it like this example:
1 | script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr) -- parameter use :Connect |
2 | plr.Character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(10) -- the parameter gets the player not the character |
3 | end) |
also :Connect() is decaperated, instead use :Connect().
1 | local button = script.Parent.Parent |

3 |
4 | script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr) |
5 | local copy = game.ServerStorage["Grapple Hook Boi"]:Clone() |
6 | copy.Parent = plr.Character |
7 | end) |
