(Solved) Is there a way to force a player to drop an item through a script?
****I solved this issue myself, no help is needed****
I was making a script that limits the amount of items a player can have in their backpack, and I was going to do this by force dropping whatever item they just picked up if they have the max number of items in their inventory. However, I don't know how to force drop an item that the player just picked up.
My script looks like this:
limit = 2
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p)
p.Backpack.ChildAdded:Connect(function(tool)
local items = p.Backpack:GetChildren()
if #items == limit then
-- force drop item
end
end)
end)
Any help is appreciated!

You can't necessarily "force" a player to drop an item. You would have to destroy it. Try this out:
limit = 2
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p)
p.Backpack.ChildAdded:Connect(function(tool)
local items = p.Backpack:GetChildren()
if #items > limit then -- greater than 2 (you can also put >= which is greater than or equal to)
tool:Destroy()
end
end)
end)

Actually, I was able to force-drop it by setting its parent to workspace after waiting .5 seconds. Thank you for the answer, though NoahsRebels 99 — 4y
