you could just have physics apply to the dropped tool for a second (by unachoring it, then reanchoring it after a few seconds (to save on physics calculations)), yet that could cause some unwanted physics issues

have tried that, if its unachored it just falls through the ground for some reason

That's most likely due to you having set CanCollide to false. You can fix this by either using collisiongroups or just setting it back to true as you drop the weapon

oh ye, forgot that lol, let me try that

#

how can i check if the player is holding an item

crude orbit how can i check if the player is holding an item

You can just use currentTool

crude orbit Jun 4, 2025, 2:20 PM

#

did that

#

Set it to nil if the player drops a weapon (without picking one up), and just the if currentTool when he picks something up

#

if that check passes, then you know that he has a tool that he first has to drop

crude orbit Jun 4, 2025, 2:22 PM

#

okay

queen spruce Jun 4, 2025, 2:22 PM

#

(I would also just make a function for dropping tools, and fire it both when the player "drops" the tool, and when he picks a tool up while already having one)

#

Just makes it easier to write it all

crude orbit Jun 4, 2025, 2:23 PM

#

crude orbit

keycode.g is for that

You also need to run it when you switch tools

#

I would also maybe change over currentTool to an instance instead of a string, will help with processing

crude orbit Jun 4, 2025, 2:35 PM

#

okay

#

i got an error

PlayerScripts.Item:55: Expected identifier when parsing expression, got ')'  -  Studio - Item:55

queen spruce Jun 4, 2025, 2:36 PM

#

show line 55

crude orbit Jun 4, 2025, 2:37 PM

#

its line 60

queen spruce Jun 4, 2025, 2:37 PM

#

one of your if statements has no end

crude orbit Jun 4, 2025, 2:38 PM

#

i tried to add an end, nothing changed

queen spruce Jun 4, 2025, 2:38 PM

#

it could also be multiple ones, just format the code and see where you're missing ends

crude orbit Jun 4, 2025, 2:39 PM

#

okay

#

im not missing any now and it still says that

queen spruce Jun 4, 2025, 2:45 PM

#

You're most likely still missing one (or have an extra one)

crude orbit Jun 4, 2025, 2:45 PM

#

i cant find it tho

queen spruce Jun 4, 2025, 2:46 PM

#

send the entire code

crude orbit Jun 4, 2025, 2:48 PM

#

ok

huh

wdym by dont close in time

queen spruce Jun 4, 2025, 2:55 PM

basically, there is no "end" after it

crude orbit Jun 4, 2025, 2:55 PM

#

okay

#

where should there be an end in that place

#

it just gives me more errors when i add one

#

@queen spruce

crude orbit where should there be an end in that place

... I'll be nice and redownload studio to help you, don't have any proper IDE set up for lua(u) right now.
I'll get back to you later

@crude orbit , just make sure to read that comment

crude orbit Jun 4, 2025, 3:11 PM

#

ye

#

i did

#

ty

#

the error is gone now, but nothing is happening when i press g

#

is it because of the tween?

crude orbit Jun 4, 2025, 3:22 PM

queen spruce <@929097135469781022> , just make sure to read that comment

that was for line 19, i dont know how it ended up all the way down there lol, it didint cause any problems before so i just didnt bother to fix it

queen spruce Jun 4, 2025, 3:22 PM

#

crude orbit the error is gone now, but nothing is happening when i press g

I simple added "ends" where it seemed logical, it can very well be that some ends are place in the wrong position

#

As stated in the comment, this is why guardclauses are important, as I've no clue which else belongs to which if
