Hi there, Server scripts cannot use LocalPlayer. Also, if you tried to add the tool locally it'd only show for the local player. You also don't need to use multiple scripts. Here's an example of what you can do.

view source
01function givePlayersTool()
02local players = game.Players:GetChildren()
03for i, v in pairs(players) do
04local clone =  game.Lighting.tools.tool1:Clone()
05clone.Parent = v.Backpack
06end
07end
08while true do
09    givePlayersTool()
10    map = game.ReplicatedStorage.Maps.map1:Clone()
11    map.Parent = game.Workspace
12    wait(120)
13    map:Destroy()
14    map = game.ReplicatedStorage.Maps.map2:Clone
15    map.Parent = game.Workspace
16    givePlayersTool()
17    wait(120)
18    map:Destroy()
19end

If i wanted to delete the tool would i just put v.Backpack.tool:Destroy? Encryptal 0 — 5y

HI! So the problem i noticed first was that you are calling the localplayer from a server script and not a local script. I recommend using a remote event and firing to all clients where the local script would be in the starterplayerscripts...

ServerScript:

view source
01local giveTool = game.ReplicatedStorage.givetool.Value
02 
03while true do
04    map = game.ReplicatedStorage.Maps.map1:Clone()
05    map.Parent = game.Workspace
06    giveTool = 1
07game.ReplicatedStorage.GiveToolEvent:FireAllClients(giveTool)
08    wait(120)
09    map:Destroy()
10    map = game.ReplicatedStorage.Maps.map2:Clone()
11    map.Parent = game.Workspace
12    giveTool = 0
13    wait(120)
14    map:Destroy()
15end

LocalScript:

view source
1game.ReplicatedStorage.ToolGivingEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(giveTool)
2    local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
3    local Tool = game.Lighting.tools:FindFirstChild("tool"..giveTool):Clone()
4    Tool.Parent = player.Backpack
5end)

Let me know if that works!

Put it in starter playerscripts. In the explorer, go to the very botton then open the drop down for StarterPlayer, then add a localscript to starterplayer scripts FishslayerX 8 — 5y
