Player's Backpack doesn't receive tools from script, what's the problem?
The following code uses a "for" loop to clone game.ServerStorage.Tools.Donut (a tool) and give it to a player who joined the game:
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(client) |
2 | for i = 1, 3 do |
3 | repeat wait() |
4 | until client:FindFirstChild("Backpack") |
5 | local donut = game.ServerStorage.tools.Donut:Clone() |
6 | donut.Parent = client.Backpack |
7 | end |
8 | end) |
This didn't work, so I tried putting wait() once the client joins
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(client) |
2 | wait(5) |
3 | for i = 1, 3 do |
4 | repeat wait() |
5 | until client:FindFirstChild("Backpack") |
6 | local donut = game.ServerStorage.tools.Donut:Clone() |
7 | donut.Parent = client.Backpack |
8 | end |
9 | end) |
This worked, though. I'm not sure why it's like this. Is it because the player's Character needs to be loaded for them to recieve the tools?

I hope this helped
01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(client) |
02 | wait(5) |
03 | for i = 1, 3 do |
04 | -- under this will wait until the character is loaded to receive tools |
05 | repeat until client.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") |
06 | until client:FindFirstChild("Backpack") |
07 | local donut = game.ServerStorage.tools.Donut:Clone() |
08 | donut.Parent = client.Backpack |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
