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?
BP = script.Parent -- LocalScript is placed in the player's Backpack.
FL = BP.Flashlight
char = BP.Parent.Character -- Finds character.
Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
local a = FL:clone()
if key == "f" and a.Parent == char then
a:remove()
else
a.Parent = char
end
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.
BP = script.Parent -- LocalScript is placed in the player's Backpack.
FL = BP.Flashlight
char = BP.Parent.Character -- Finds character.
Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
local a = FL:clone()
if key == "f" then
if char:FindFirstChild("Flashlight") then
char:FindFirstChild("Flashlight"):Destroy() --remove is deprecated, use destroy.
else
a.Parent = char
end
end
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.
My bad, I forgot an end. Try now.
It still doesn't work. Now the output says "23:56:27.330 - Players.Player1.Backpack.InventoryScript:10: 'then' expected near 'if'".
Fixed. Again, I simply forgot to put a "then"" after an if statement. Update me what the result is.
It works now! Thanks so much!
No problem!
