I need help with a touched event to destroy a player's tool?

Asked 291 views1 answers

So I was trying to make something when if you touch something with a tool it will get taken out of your inventory and placed into the shrine. However, it will not work



local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.event
local function touched()
	script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Beans") then
			script.Parent.Parent.BeanPosition.Transparency = 0
			print("Player has beans!")
			local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
			print(player.Name.." needs their beans removed.")
			local light = script.Parent.Parent.Carpet.SurfaceLight
			light.Enabled = true
			player.Backpack.Beans:Destroy()
			script.Parent.Parent.BeanPosition.Script.Disabled = true
		end
	end)
end

while wait(5) do
	spawn(touched)
end

yes, it says "Beans is not a valid member of Backpack" when it's in the player's inventory.

Hello, If the player has the item equipped, then the tool is in their character.. please try the script below.

local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.event
local function touched()
    script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
        if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Beans") then
            script.Parent.Parent.BeanPosition.Transparency = 0
            print("Player has beans!")
            local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
            print(player.Name.." needs their beans removed.")
            local light = script.Parent.Parent.Carpet.SurfaceLight
            light.Enabled = true
            hit.Parent.Beans:Destroy()
            script.Parent.Parent.BeanPosition.Script.Disabled = true
        end
    end)
end

while wait(5) do
    spawn(touched)
end
