I need to make a script that destroys all the gears in the player's backpack when executed. The script I have made up till now is:

local children = player.Backpack:GetChildren()
if (children) then
    children:Destroy()
end

I get this error:

ServerScriptService.RemoteEventsScripts.Client To Server.RelatedToTeams.NeutralTeam:11: attempt to call method 'Destroy' (a nil value)

when you say get children, it returns a table. You cannot destroy a table tonyv537 95 — 5y

For problems like that you need to use for loop.

Here is your script:

local Tools = player.Backpack:GetChildren() -- gets the children of the backpack

for index, object in pairs(Tools) do
    if object:IsA("Tool") then -- checks if current child is a tool
        object:Destroy() -- destroy
    end
end

Thanks! You solved my problem. StrategicPlayZ 58 — 5y
