How do you re-enable a disabled script?

Asked 3,437 views1 answers

I made it so that a script would be disabled when the tool it is in is unequipped. What would you do to re-enable the script? I tried script.Parent.Enabled = true but it didn't work. 

Tool = script.Parent.Parent.Parent

Tool.Equipped:connect(function()
	script.Parent.Enabled = true
end)

Any help? I'm not sure what else to do. I disabled the parent of this script, and now I'm trying to re-enable it when the tool is selected. The tool is the parent of the parent of this script.

Scripts don't have an Enabled property, they have a Disabled property - also this setup might be finicky in that you have it disabled when the game starts up.

Oh, it only disables the first time you equip and tunequip the item.

Enabled is not a property of a script, the actual name for it is Disabled. It's as simple as doing this:

script.Parent.Disabled = true
-- Some code later...
script.Parent.Disabled = not script.Parent.Disabled -- or script.Parent.Disabled = false

If you have any questions, please ask them.
