You can either use the PlayerAdded event from game.Players or fire a RemoteEvent or RemoteFunction with a localscript.
Option 1: PlayerAdded
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local backpack = plr:WaitForChild("Backpack");
local tool = game.ReplicatedStorage.Tool:Clone(); -- Change this to the tool location
local ctool = tool:Clone();
ctool.Parent = backpack;
end
Option 2: A: RemoteEvent
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr) -- change to the location of your RemoteEvent.
local backpack = plr:WaitForChild("Backpack");
local tool = game.ReplicatedStorage.Tool:Clone(); -- Change this to the tool location
local ctool = tool:Clone();
ctool.Parent = backpack;
end)
Option 2: B: RemoteFunction
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = function(plr)
local backpack = plr:WaitForChild("Backpack");
local tool = game.ReplicatedStorage.Tool:Clone(); -- Change this to the tool location
local ctool = tool:Clone();
ctool.Parent = backpack;
return true; -- This is really the only reason you'd use RemoteFunction ;- to return something after it executes to the client who called it.
end
EDIT: I just saw that you wanted to clone the tool in the player's backpack, in which case you'd use Option 2 (either A or B, whichever you think would help more). You'd want to clone the tool in backpack instead of the one in ReplicatedStorage.
If you want to clone a tool in your backpack, first we need to get the local player since the player's backpack is locally based.
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Next, we need to actually type the script that clones the tool in your backpack and puts it in your backpack again.
player.Backpack.M9:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
So in the end, this is the final script:
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
player.Backpack.M9:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack

try waiting beforehand.
Wait, a localscript or a server script. You can only get the localplayer from a localscript.
You cant use localplayer in a normal script and by cloneing it with a local script only you will see it
and this is not a request site
i'm pretty sure this is just asking for a solution, and also remember that localscripts dont run in workspace, browniexpoptxrt
