Im confused..

[upbeat frost]

This is my script:
local button = script.Parent
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local currentool = player.Backpack:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('Tool')
currentool.Enabled = true
end)

everytime i click the button it comes out with the error "Players.whyjustwhyf.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextButton.LocalScript:6: attempt to index nil with 'Enabled'"
How do i fix it??

[vocal elm]

it didnt find a tool in the player's backup which is a tool

there is no tool in the players backpack

[upbeat frost]

oh

i have a system that gives you tools based off the leaderstats that puts the tool into the players inventory... wouldnt the script see the tool when its put into the players inventory?

[vocal elm]

do you see the tool?

[upbeat frost]

yea

[vocal elm]

is the tool equipped

[upbeat frost]

yea

[vocal elm]

thats the problem

see the thing is

when the tool is equipped its no longer in the players backpack

when the tool is equipped it goes to the player's character

[upbeat frost]

oh

[vocal elm]

try checking there

[upbeat frost]

ok

not to be annoying but, its still popping up with the same error somehow...

[vocal elm]

could you show me the error

[upbeat frost]

thats small.

wait

Players.whyjustwhyf.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextButton.LocalScript:7: attempt to index nil with 'Enabled'

[vocal elm]

whats the uh code now

[upbeat frost]

local button = script.Parent
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local currentool = player.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('Tool')
local currentool1 = player.Backpack:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('Tool')
currentool.Enabled = true
currentool1.Enabled = true
end)

[vocal elm]

uh not what I meant

wait

[upbeat frost]

its kinda like the slap battle system, im tryna make it so you cant use the tool in lobby yet when u spawn in u can use it.

[dawn helm]

wat

[upbeat frost]

i used that to try to find the tool.

[vocal elm]

local Button = script.Parent
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
 local CurrentTool = Player.Backpack:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") or Character and Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool")
 if CurrentTool then
  CurrentTool.Enabled = true
 end
end)

[dawn helm]

        currentTool.Enabled = true
    end
    if backpackTool then
        backpackTool.Enabled = true
    end```

yeah use that
