Hello, I'm developing a game, I want the script to be like,

-- If a person steps on it, it automatically unequips tool A and automatically equips tool B.

Can't seem to make it work.

01local examplePart = game.Workspace.examplePart
02local exampleTool = player.Backpack.ThisIsExample1
03local exampleToolA =  player.ReplicatedStorage.ThisIsExample2
04 
05 
06examplePart.Touched:Connect(onTouch)
07exampleToolA.Parent.Equipped:connect(function()
08print(omg its equipped lol)
09exampleTool.Parent.Unequipped:connect(function()
10print(omg its unequipped lol)
11end)

I'm a beginner scripter but at least I tried. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! buz

What is the error its giving to you? and you can't print string without using quotations marks (" "), try using this print code: print("omg its equipped lol") vBaRaAx02 1 — 6y

And use :Connect() because :connect() is deprecated SirDerpyHerp 262 — 6y

And i think there are some "end" missing, because there are three functions and only one "end" mewant_taco 17 — 6y

Also at line 6 you are conenecting to a function called ("onTouch") when there's no function with that name mewant_taco 17 — 6y

Hey i think i have fixed your problem.

First we will need a variable for the player: (make sure this is a Local Script)

`1`	`local` `player` `=` `game.Players.LocalPlayer`

Now we can do the full code!

First lets see the code you alredy have:

01local examplePart = game.Workspace.examplePart
02local exampleTool = player.Backpack.ThisIsExample1
03local exampleToolA =  player.ReplicatedStorage.ThisIsExample2
04 
05 
06examplePart.Touched:Connect(onTouch)
07exampleToolA.Parent.Equipped:connect(function()
08print(omg its equipped lol)
09exampleTool.Parent.Unequipped:connect(function()
10print(omg its unequipped lol)
11end)

Ok now its the part where the magic happends. There's a way that you can force the tool equipment, its using Humanoid:EquipTool

So your script should look like this:

01local player = game.Player.LocalPlayer
02 
03examplePart.Touched:Connect(onTouch)
04Humanoid:EquipTool(exampleTool)
05end
06exampleToolA.Parent.Equipped:connect(function()
07print(omg its equipped lol)
08end
09exampleTool.Parent.Unequipped:connect(function()
10print(omg its unequipped lol)
11end)

Unfortunatly idk if there's a way to unequip a tool using a script :/ For more information about this subject, check this article

I hope this works for you, if it doesn't send me a message!

(also if i spelled something wrong correct me, im portguese sry :/)

(and also im noob at scripting so it very probable that this doesn't work, but good luck)

Hey i found out that you can use this thing called "unequipTool(*tool name here*)" mewant_taco 17 — 6y
