I am having problem to find the specific item in my game called “keyTorch”. This makes item get held by player if picked and also toggles the color of eye of totem pole but after it is picked i cant find a way to define this object. also, this game is parkour-type game so i have my model in serverstorage to spawn new one in case the player falls and is lost, but cant find a way to know if the torch is really lost or is held by player. sorry for my bad grammars.

01--code (for checker to see if the key is held by player or it is lost)
02 
03local totemEye1 = script.Parent.eye1
04 
05local totoemEye2 = script.Parent.eye2
06 
07local players = game.Players
08 
09local originalkeyTorch = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("keyTorch")
10 
11local originalkeyPosition = originalkeyTorch.Handle.Position
12 
13local keyTorchLostDetector = script.Parent.keyLostDetector
14 
15local torchBackDetector = script.Parent.Parent.torch1Checker
16 
17local keynotDestroyed = true
18 
19local keystolen = false
20 
21keyTorchLostDetector.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
22 
23if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")then
24 
25print("the visible key torch is about to get stealed by player")
26 
27wait(20)
28 
29if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("visiblekeyTorch")~= game.Workspace then
30 
31print("the key is not in original Place")
32 
33keystolen = true
34 
35if [[--apperantly this part doesn`t work--]] game.Workspace:FindFirstChildOfClass("Model"):FindFirstChild("visiblekeyTorch") or game.Workspace:FindFirstChildOfClass("Model"):FindFirstChild("BackPack"):FindFirstChild("visiblekeyTorch") then
36 
37print("the key is in player")
38 
39else
40 
41print("the key is not found")
42 
43keystolen = false
44 
45local cloneKey = originalkeyTorch:Clone()
46 
47cloneKey.Name = "visiblekeyTorch"
48 
49cloneKey.Parent = game.Workspace
50 
51print("the key was loaded")
52 
53end

Is this a tool? If it is then, you can find it under a `player.Character` if it is equipped. When it is unequipped it will automatically be sent back to the `player.Backpack` NickAtNick 163 — 6y

Yes it is a tool. Is this way possible when for example there is player a,b,c, and d, and if player "b" has the tool i can know that the tool is held by one of the player without having to know who exactly has it? Thank you Yuuwa0519 197 — 6y
