How would I make it to where the script clones a random tool from a folder in Replicated Storage?
local Item = script.Parent.Item
local Price = script.Parent.Price
local Currency = script.Parent.Currency
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
local CurrencyName = player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild(Currency.Value)
local ItemName = game.ReplicatedStorage.LootCrate[math.random]
if CurrencyName.Value >=Price.Value then
CurrencyName.Value = CurrencyName.Value - Price.Value
ItemName:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear
ItemName:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack -- dont change anything here
end
end)
This is the script that I am using to do this. It is supposed to be like a loot-box that you can buy, and it chooses a random tool from the folder in Replicated Storage. The folder is named "Lootcrate"

I added comments. Let me know if you need any more explanation or if the code doesn't work.
local Item = script.Parent.Item
local Price = script.Parent.Price
local Currency = script.Parent.Currency
function getRandomItem(location)
--warn that the location they specified has nothing in it so we can't get a random item.
if #location:GetChildren() == 0 then
warn("there are no items in the location ".. location:GetFullName().."please try another location")
return --return nothing
end
local itemTable = location:GetChildren() --table containing all the items inside the specified location
local randomPosition = math.random(1,#itemTable) --picks a random position inside the table
local randomItem = itemTable[randomPosition] --gets the item at the table's random positoin
return randomItem --returns the item specidied
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
local CurrencyName = player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild(Currency.Value)
print("the if statement condition is: ", CurrencyName.Value >= Price.Value)
if CurrencyName.Value >= Price.Value then
--cals the getRandomItem() function to get an item inside the location `game.ReplicatedStorage.LootCrate`
local randomItem = getRandomItem(game.ReplicatedStorage.LootCrate)
--keep in mind here you're getting ONE item and cloning it twice - once to startergear, once to backpack
--if you want to do TWO different items, call the getRandomItem() function again.
randomItem:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear
randomItem:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack -- dont change anything here
CurrencyName.Value = CurrencyName.Value - Price.Value
end
end)
