How to remove a tool when someone has it enabled?
I have this short script here that I want to use to remove a certain tool. But the problem is if the player has it enabled it won't be removed. Is there a way to access what they have selected?
Here's the script:
1 | first_infected.StarterGear.Shrike:remove() |
2 | first_infected.Backpack.Shrike:remove() |
Thanks!

I haven't tested it, but I edited my answer to include a different solution that may solve the problem? BlueTaslem 18071 — 10y

Tools, when equipped, are moved into the player's character.
Just check there, too (I'm unsure if deleting an equipped tool might have bad effects)
1 | place = first_infected.StarterGear; |
2 | if place:FindFirstChild("Shrike") then |
3 | place.Shrike:Destroy() |
4 | end |
5 | place = first_infected.Character; |
6 | if place:FindFirstChild("Shrike") then |
7 | place.Shrike:Destroy() |
8 | end |
This solution may fix the problem you saw:
01 | place = first_infected.StarterGear; |
02 | if place:FindFirstChild("Shrike") then |
03 | place.Shrike:Destroy() |
04 | end |
05 | place = first_infected.Character; |
06 | if place:FindFirstChild("Shrike") then |
07 | local tool = place.Shrike; |
08 | tool.Enabled = false; |
09 | tool:Destroy() |
10 | end |

Thanks it worked. Unfortuantely it keeps my arms in the same position. To fix it is it like Cframing? wjs3456 90 — 10y

Unfortunately I'm not sure how to fix it. I believe if they equip another tool and de-equip that, it will be fixed, but I'm not sure the most elegant way to fix this. BlueTaslem 18071 — 10y

1 | place = first_infected.Character; |
2 | if place:FindFirstChild("Shrike") then |
3 | place:FindFirstChild("Shrike").Parent = first_infected.Backpack |
4 | wait() |
5 | v.Backpack.Shrike:Destroy() |
6 | end |
It removes it to the backpack from where I can destroy it.
