Remove gear from backpack on touch?
It's pretty self explanatory. When the block is touched, a certain gear is removed from the player's backpack (in this case "Sword"). This is the script I was using :
parent = script.Parent function onTouch(hit) game.Players.Player.Backpack.Sword:remove() end parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)
Not sure what has gone wrong in the script.

Are you using a Local or regular script? s_iara 94 — 4y

I have improved your code a bit, this should be the solution.
local Name = "name of tool" -- name of the tool
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local Player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if Player then
local Backpack = Player:FindFirstChild("Backpack")
if Backpack then
if Backpack:FindFirstChild(Name) then -- if found, destroy it
Backpack[Name]:Destroy()
end
end
end
end)

game.Players.Player is nothing, unless you are magically called Player, it won't work.
You'll need to search the player from the hit part:
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/Players/GetPlayerFromCharacter
Note that hit is a part of your character body in case you're touching it, but the hit part can be any part in the game. So make sure after calling GetPlayerFromCharacter that you make sure it actually is a player and not nil.

The way to check if the hit is a player is add "if Player then" to your script itchymoonfire 179 — 4y

-- LocalScript
local part = script.Parent
function onTouch(hit)
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if plr.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Sword") ~= nil then -- Checks if Sword is not equipped by the player
plr.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Sword"):Destroy()
else if workspace:FindFirstChild(plr.Name):FindFirstChild("Sword") ~= nil then -- Checks if Sword is equipped by the player
workspace:FindFirstChild(plr.Name).Sword:Destroy()
end
end
part.Touched:connect(onTouch)
