Hello, I am trying to make a script were a player can equip a trident, but its not working, here is the code that the error is from

            local tridentc = trident:Clone()
            tridentc.Parent = player.Backpack
            tridentc.Name = "Trident1"
            character.Humanoid.EquipTool(tridentc)

I keep on getting an error that says

** 2:07:21.324 - The function EquipTool is not a member of "Tool" **

what did I do wrong?

The issue you are having is that you're trying to use a . instead of a :

Therefore what you should do is

local clone = trident:Clone()

clone.Name = 'Trident1'

clone.Parent = player.Backpack

character.Humanoid:EquipTool(clone)

This should work perfectly now. But I should add Mc3334 is correct, if you'd like it to just be automatically equipped. Setting the clones parent to the player.Character may be a bit more beneficial.

But yeah that was your issue :)

To get your results, you could clone the tool under the player's character. It would look something like this.

local tridentc = trident:Clone()
tridentc.Parent = player.Character --I changed the "Backpack" to "Character" so it will equip the tool
tridentc.Name = "Trident1"

I hope this was helpful. If you need further help regarding this topic, feel free to comment on my post.

Hello thanks for helping out, but the trident spawns only in the middle of the baseplate, when I parent the trident clone to character? turbomegapower12345 48 — 5y
