Why won't this give players a Pistol? [SOLVED]
game.Workspace.Guns.Changed:connect(function(t)
if t == "Start" then
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Item = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Pistol:Clone()
Item.Parent = Player.Backpack
end
end)
In another script, I have something to change the Gun Value to "Start"
Oh, its in LocalScript too

Is filtering enabled? If so, make sure you are changing the Guns value client-side. If not then add some prints to see where the script stops. (Like 1 every line). So something like:
game.Workspace.Guns.Changed:connect(function(t)
print("Value Changed")
if t == "Start" then
print("Value = Start")
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Item = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Pistol:Clone()
print("Player defined, item cloned")
Item.Parent = Player.Backpack
print("Item parented")
end
end)

Ok, so nothing is coming through, so I am guessing that the LocalScript isnt even working. Any ideas? Is it possible to do the same thing in just a normal script? NinjoOnline 1146 — 9y

for some reason now, if a player dies, they dont get their gun back. Anyway to make them so once they get the gun it stays with them until the other script removes the gun NinjoOnline 1146 — 9y

Try putting it in ServerStorage.

That doesn't work for LocalScripts. Descendants of ServerStorage are virtually invisible to LocalScripts. M39a9am3R 3210 — 9y

Have you tryed putting
game.Workspace.Guns.Changed:connect(function(t)
if t == "Start" then
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Item = game:GetService("Lighting").Pistol:Clone() -- Changed to lighting. Remember to put the gun in there as well.
Item.Parent = Player.Backpack
end
end)
