How to detect two tools in player's backpack?

Asked 688 views2 answers

This is my script: I want to detect if two tools (MediterraneanAvenue and BalticAvenue) are there in the player's backpack when he touches a part and want to give my conditions accordingly. But when I tried this it didn't work! Can someone please help me?

local Part = script.Parent
	
	
		
	Part.Touched:Connect(function(HIT)
		local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(HIT.Parent)
		
	local FindMediterraneanAvenue = Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("MediterraneanAvenue")
	local FindBalticAvenue = Player.BackPack:FindFirstChild("BalticAvenue")
	
	
		
		local H  = HIT.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if H and not FindMediterraneanAvenue then
			Player.PlayerGui.MediterraneanAvenue.StartUp.Visible = true
			
	elseif H and FindMediterraneanAvenue and not FindBalticAvenue then
		print("You need to own all lots first.")
		
	elseif H and FindMediterraneanAvenue and FindBalticAvenue then
			Player.PlayerGui.MediterraneanAvenue.ClickBuild.Visible = true
			
				
	
				
		
		end
	end)
	
	
	Part.TouchEnded:Connect(function(part) -- leaves the part
	if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) then -- if the part leaving is a player
	local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) -- the player
	if Player.PlayerGui.MediterraneanAvenue.StartUp.Visible == true then -- if the gui is open
		Player.PlayerGui.MediterraneanAvenue.StartUp.Visible = false
		if Player.PlayerGui.MediterraneanAvenue.ClickBuild.Visible == true then
			Player.PlayerGui.MediterraneanAvenue.ClickBuild.Visible = false  
		
		
		
end 
end
	end
	end)

If you want to check for tools, you have to check both the backpack and character (since the tools are in the character if they are equipped). You also have to remember that 'Backpack' doesn't have a capital P. Here's an example function for checking for the tool:

local function playerHasTool(player, toolName)
	local tool = player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(toolName) or player.Character:FindFirstChild(toolName)
	if tool then
		return true
	else
		return false
	end
end

thing.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if playerHasTool(player, "MediterraneanAvenue") and playerHasTool(player, "BalticAvenue") then
		--do stuff
	end
end)

Hope this helps!

should I put if playerHasTool(player,"MediterraneanAvenue") == true?

You don't need to, since true == true just evaluates to true anyway, so you can just do it like it is in the example.

just do

if Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("MediterraneanAvenue") and Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("BalticAvenue") then ... end
