Why isn't my inventory system working?
My script is supposed to equip a flashlight every time I hit "f", and remove the flashlight if it is already equipped. It's not working. Can anyone help?
01 | BP = script.Parent -- LocalScript is placed in the player's Backpack. |
02 | FL = BP.Flashlight |
03 | char = BP.Parent.Character -- Finds character. |
04 |
05 | Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse() |
06 |
07 | Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key) |
08 | local a = FL:clone() |
09 | if key == "f" and a.Parent == char then |
10 | a:remove() |
11 | else |
12 | a.Parent = char |
13 | end |
14 | end) |

You are checking if "a" is in the Player, while you have set a to clone the Flashlight. You should rather check if the Flashlight is in the player. I'm not sure if this will make a difference, but might as well try.
ALSO: You are only activating the function if the F key is pressed AND the Flashlight is in the character. If the Flashlight isn't there, the function isn't activating. This is what I suspect is the problem.
01 | BP = script.Parent -- LocalScript is placed in the player's Backpack. |
02 | FL = BP.Flashlight |
03 | char = BP.Parent.Character -- Finds character. |
04 |
05 | Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse() |
06 |
07 | Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key) |
08 | local a = FL:clone() |
09 | if key == "f" then |
10 | if char:FindFirstChild("Flashlight") then |
11 | char:FindFirstChild("Flashlight"):Destroy() --remove is deprecated, use destroy. |
12 | else |
13 | a.Parent = char |
14 | end |
15 | end |
16 | end) |
This should work, if not, let me know, and let me know if you have any errors in the output.

It doesn't work and the output doesn't show any errors. Nifer2 174 — 10y

My bad, I forgot an end. Try now. SlickPwner 534 — 10y

It still doesn't work. Now the output says "23:56:27.330 - Players.Player1.Backpack.InventoryScript:10: 'then' expected near 'if'". Nifer2 174 — 10y

Fixed. Again, I simply forgot to put a "then"" after an if statement. Update me what the result is. SlickPwner 534 — 10y
