Quest System I Made Not Working With No Errors?

So the script is:

view source
01local tools = game.ReplicatedStorage.ChristmasEvent:GetChildren()
02    local starterGui = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')
03game.Workspace["Gingerbread Man"].Head.Dialog.DialogChoiceSelected:connect(function(player, Dialog)
04        if Dialog.Name == 'QuestGiver' then
05starterGui.Quests.QuestsText.Text = "Quest: 0/8 Reindeer And 0/5 Sleigh Parts"
06        if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack:FindFirstChild(tools) then
07            local clone = game.ReplicatedStorage.Eggnog:Clone()
08             clone.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer:FindFirstChild("Backpack")
09        end
10    end
11end)

The problem is at the end i doesn't give me the Eggnog and shows no errors. Christmas Event (Line 1) has all the items I want to be in the player's inventory. My original problem was everything was in server storage and when I thought for once I realized server can't be accessed by local script. So I just changed it to replicated (Simple). I have the items in my inv and it just doesn't give me the eggnog any suggestions?

SOLVED: FindFirstChild can't be done with a variable so I tried GetChildren(tools) and it worked fine thanks everyone who tried to help! :)

Dialog choices weren't updated to work in FE.

roblox seems to not have updated dialogs. They only work in local scripts now. So you might need remote events. Or you could make your own dialog system which I recommend since it allows for customization. Plus I don't see roblox updating dialogs to work in server scripts. You would still need remotes anyways if the server needs to do something.

Keep it in server storage.

Try this instead for the cloning service,

view source
1local clone = game.ReplicatedStorage.Eggnog:Clone().Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer:FindFirstChild('Backpack')

If that doesn't work It could be that in line '06' you didn't define a string value FindFirstChild('Tools')

This doesn't seem to be the case. Also can you provide a way to fix the string value because I thought string values would be the only thing to work. So I did FindFirstChild("Tool", "Tool") and so on. Which was a LONG line of code and it didn't work so any help? maybe find first child christmas event and then do get children? CosmicIsGod 139 — 5y
