So ive been trying to make a brick that once clicked gives you an object. I have the script set up to go from the Lighting but i want the tool itself to be a Child of the ParentPart and still give it to you.

function hi(x)
    local y = x.Backpack
    local z = game.Lighting["Gun"] 
    z:Clone().Parent = y
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect

Please help Anons

I'm assuming by ParentPart you mean the part that is getting clicked? checkerscat2 116 — 5y

All you need to to is move "Gun" from lighting into the part and this script will work.

Also another tip don't use lowercase connect since roblox have deprecated it.

function hi(x)
     local z = script.Parent.Gun
    z:Clone().Parent = x.Backpack
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(hi)

I also need a click detector correct? (Im more of a builder) iNykoda 3 — 5y

Yes you also need a insert a click detector into the part. sonysunny 36 — 5y

I have it set up like this in the work space: Workspace>Part>ClickDetector>Script>Gun. But then i go to test the game and the part doesnt give me my gun. Ik im doing something wrong but what? iNykoda 3 — 5y

Put the ClickDetector Script and Gun into the Part, don't put them inside of eachother. sonysunny 36 — 5y

:Clone().Parent = Deprecated. Use local Clone = z:Clone() Clone.Parent = x.Backpack namespace25 594 — 5y

You need to add "(function()" after connect.

Example:

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function()
