Why doesnt the drop weapon system work?

[rare stirrup]

is there an error?

or, what is the issue exactly?

[sharp osprey]

the script is meant to clone a replica of an tool when they die, this script doesnt do that

[rare stirrup]

what DOES it do

is there an error?

[sharp osprey]

what

i told u

[rare stirrup]

like an output error

[sharp osprey]

no

it just doesnt work

[rare stirrup]

send the place file if you may

[sharp osprey]

why

script is there

i told u why it doesnt work

now help me find out why it isnt working please

[rare stirrup]

so that i can narrow it down easier

looks alright on the surface

but there could be other factors

does the original tool get destroyed correctly?

[sharp osprey]

it works perfectly for npcs

just not players

[rare stirrup]

show me the code for the npcs? what's the difference?

as in npcs death code for the same feature

[sharp osprey]

one second

this the code for when the nmpc dies

dont mind the hp part

thats for healing the player when they kill an npc

[rare stirrup]

okay

could you add a print here and see what it says?

in original code

[sharp osprey]

okay

[rare stirrup]

just after parenting the replica

[sharp osprey]

like i said the npc script works perfectly

its just when the player dies with a tool it doesnt create a replica

[rare stirrup]

print what the parent of the replica is

and i mean in the original code, not npc code

[sharp osprey]

what for players?

[rare stirrup]

yeah

[sharp osprey]

my bad

[rare stirrup]

no prob bob

[sharp osprey]

it prints out

so it does set the parent to workspace

but when i go back to where i died theres no replica

[rare stirrup]

check the explorer - it ought to show up there when you die

maybe just a positioning issue

OH

sorry, just worked it out

you set the Y position to 5

[sharp osprey]

oo okay

[rare stirrup]

when you set the cframe

it should be the player's position +5, presumably

[sharp osprey]

ohh

huh

stil doesnt work

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
        local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

        if not rootPart then return end

        humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
            local posX, posY, posZ = rootPart.Position.X, rootPart.Position.Y, rootPart.Position.Z

            local tool = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") or player.Backpack:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool")
            
            if tool then
                tool:Destroy()

                local replica = game.ReplicatedStorage.PlaceholderReplica:Clone()

                for _, part in ipairs(replica:GetDescendants()) do
                    if part:IsA("BasePart") or part:IsA("MeshPart") then
                        part.CanCollide = true
                        part.Massless = false
                    end
                end

                replica:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(posX, posY + 5, posZ))
                replica.Parent = workspace
                print("works")
            end 
        end)
    end)
end)

also the replica doesnt appear in workspace in the explorer

@rare stirrup

[rare stirrup]

hi was getting food

hmm

if it's not too big, sending it would help me debug it :) but no worries if you dont want to

weird that it doesnt appear in the explorer if it prints the parent, assuming you did test that

[sharp osprey]

yep

[bleak patrol]

** You are now Level 6! **

[sharp osprey]

also i tried printing out the posx y and z and i got this

so it is ercording the positions

but not cloning for some reason

[rare stirrup]

OH

yeah

its tracking the position of the root part when it's spawned

not when the character dies

[sharp osprey]

huh

but it records it after the humanoid dies

[rare stirrup]

yeah sry im dumb

eating rn can look at it more after

[sharp osprey]

yep

[rare stirrup]

what y value would be normal?

or expected

[sharp osprey]

well anything around 0-5

i removed teh +5

[sharp osprey]

☹️

[rare stirrup]

hi

[sharp osprey]

hello

[rare stirrup]

honestly im not sure what else i can help with without the place file, it looks as if it ought to be working

[sharp osprey]

oh alright

well i’m off to bed anyway

[rare stirrup]

alrighty

sorry i couldnt help more
