Ok so basicly im trying to make it so when I click a button it checks the text in a textbox then searches that inside my players backpack and clones the tool with the text in the text box. ex. TextBox text says "BasicAxe" then I click the button and it looks for something called that in my player backpack and clones it so I have two.
If you need more info on what stuff is or looks like i'll respond with the info.
To do this via a local GUI, you must use the server so that you have the tool for all clients/server.
You will need a localscript, RemoteEvent in replicatedStorage, and a script in serverScriptService.
The localscript should look like this:
local textbox = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox -- Location of textbox
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() --On click
local toolName = textbox.Text --Takes string of text box
game.ReplicatedStorage.cloneGear:FireServer(toolName) -- Fire event called "cloneGear"
end)
This is the server side script
game.ReplicatedStorage.cloneGear.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, toolName)
local tool = plr.Backpack:FindFirstChild(toolName)
if tool ~= nil then
local newTool = tool:Clone()
newTool.Parent = plr.Backpack
end
end)
To change it to search in server storage, change the 2nd line of server side, changing it to
|Location|:FindFirstChild(toolName).
Hope this helps :)
