Why does my script give me my tools but not the children of the tool?
After going server-side with my backpack save after death script I found another issue with it, It kinda works now but I have an issue that my script clones all the items in my backpack back when I die, but it doesn't clone the children of the tools
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
repeat wait() until player.Character
local char = player.Character
char:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
local tools = player.Backpack:GetChildren()
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
wait(1)
for i,v in pairs(tools) do
if v:IsA("Tool") then
local clonedTool = v:Clone()
clonedTool.Parent = player.Backpack
end
end
end)
end)
end)

Here's a nifty solution for you. While I don't know what exactly was wrong with your original code, this modified code will do what you're hoping for.
Essentially, this will rename tools which you own to your tool, and then move them to ServerStorage, transporting them back to you after you respawn. If you need tools to be named something specific and this will interfere with something, I'm sure you can come up with a different method to sift through the tools in ServerStorage - such as a StringValue inside each tool.
I also made it so it will return the tool you are holding as well - which I moved by using FindFirstChildOfClass() inside of Character.
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
for _,v in pairs(game.ServerStorage:GetChildren()) do
if string.sub(v.Name, 1, string.len(player.Name)) == player.Name then
v.Parent = player.Backpack
end
end
Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
for _,v in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
v.Parent = game.ServerStorage
end
if Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") ~= nil then
Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool").Name = (tostring(player).."'s tool")
Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool").Parent = game.ServerStorage
end
end)
end)
player:WaitForChild("Backpack").ChildAdded:Connect(function(tool)
tool.Name = (tostring(player).."'s tool")
end)
end)

you have to do v:getchildren() its the only way
