Is their a way to keep items in Backpack there?

game.Workspace.Values.Guns.Changed:connect(function(g)
    if g == "Give" then
        local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
        local Item = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Guns.Pistol:Clone()
        Item.Parent = Player.Backpack
    end
end)

I am trying to make something that gives a play a gun in their BackPack, but when they die they lose that item. Do I have to make something that detects if a player has died and if so restockthem with the item, or can I have something which even if the player dies, they keep the weapon?

I am not a noob to scripting, I have knowledge of it. I am not requesting any coding, just asking if it is possible, and maybe somethings I would need to add to the script.

When giving the item to the player, make a clone for both the Backpack and the StarterGear.

game.Workspace.Values.Guns.Changed:connect(function(g)
    if g == "Give" then
        local Item = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Guns.Pistol
        Item:Clone().Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack
        Item:Clone().Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.StarterGear
    end
end)

StarterGear meaning startPack? NinjoOnline 1146 — 9y

No, it's a child of the player object. So like, 'Item:Clone().Parent = Player.StarterGear'. Goulstem 8144 — 9y

I have editted the question with the code I am using now. It is in a LocalScript. How could I clone and parent the same item twice? NinjoOnline 1146 — 9y
