tool give script not giving

[wary phoenix]

i cooked up this extremely simple server script just to make a proof of concept for my game's weapon selection system, but aint nothing happening. no errors in console and the Backpack is in fact called Backpack.

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local tool = script.tommy

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local backpack = plr:WaitForChild("Backpack")
    local clone = tool:Clone()
    clone.Parent = backpack
end)

clone.Parent = backpack
end)

[versed basalt]

This Is the script:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Tool = script:WaitForChild("tommy")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
print(player.Name .. " joined the game")

local backpack = player:WaitForChild("Backpack")
print("Backpack found for " .. player.Name)

local clone = Tool:Clone()
clone.Parent = backpack
print("Gave tommy to " .. player.Name)

end)

[runic raft]

** You are now Level 6! **

[versed basalt]

@wary phoenix does It work now

[wary phoenix]

no

[autumn basin]

maybe player joined before script loaded

[versed basalt]

Wait are you using clickdetector

[autumn basin]

theres a fix for that

[versed basalt]

Or like where Is the script

[autumn basin]

i cant send rn

[wary phoenix]

nope, i saw the playeradded print visibly delayed after the initialized print in my previous version

[wary phoenix]

script is under serverscriptservice

[versed basalt]

OOH

[autumn basin]

try putting the script in a baseplate also restarting studio

maybe something is interfering

[versed basalt]

@wary phoenix

Is the TOOL not Part

Inside the script?

[wary phoenix]

yes, the tool is in the script

update: i put it in a touch script in a part and it worked

[versed basalt]

good

[vestal cliff]

you should use characteradded instead

backpack gets wiped when a new character is added so it probably gives them the tool then spawns them for the first time, deleting the tool

[vocal totem]

is tommy in fact called tommy?

im assuming its a tommy gun but thats not important

[wary phoenix]

im just testing it rn but i probably will do that
