local RepStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local CableEvent = RepStorage:WaitForChild("Cable")
local BuildEvent = RepStorage:WaitForChild("Build")
local CableTool = RepStorage:WaitForChild("CableTool")
local BuildTool = RepStorage:WaitForChild("BuildTool")
local ToolEquiped = false

--Tool equiping function
local function EquipAndDequip(tool, plr, ToolOn)
    local character = plr.Character
    if ToolOn == true then
        local CableTool = character:FindFirstChild(tool.Name)
        CableTool:Destroy()
        ToolOn = false
    else
        local CableTool = tool:Clone()
        CableTool.Parent = character
        ToolOn = true
    end
    return ToolOn
end


CableEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
    --Tool equiping
    ToolEquiped = EquipAndDequip(CableTool, plr, ToolEquiped)
end)

BuildEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
    --Tool equiping
    ToolEquiped = EquipAndDequip(BuildTool, plr, ToolEquiped)
end)

That is the code, and sorry if its bad i dont have a lot of experience (im happy that i even made this), and i would like to know if this would work on multiplayer, its on a script in serverScriptService

why are you storing ToolOn in a variable whats the point of that

#

frail mortar why are you storing ToolOn in a variable whats the point of that

I dont even know, if it works for me i dont touch it

frail mortar Nov 2, 2025, 6:03 PM

#

like in the events ToolEquiped = … thats what i mean

#

oh i get ut

#

it

#

yeah this wont work for multiplayer

covert spruce Nov 2, 2025, 6:04 PM

#

frail mortar yeah this wont work for multiplayer

Its because the ToolOn will be shared for everyone yeah?

frail mortar Nov 2, 2025, 6:05 PM

#

Yeah ToolEquiped is the same for everyone

covert spruce Nov 2, 2025, 6:05 PM

#

frail mortar Yeah ToolEquiped is the same for everyone

So how should i fix it? Should i use a local script, then call a event and equip the tool in a server script?

frail mortar Nov 2, 2025, 6:06 PM

#

idk if im missing something cause im on my phone rn but you are not rlly using ToolEquiped

#

oh ye

#

u are

covert spruce Nov 2, 2025, 6:07 PM

#

I think im going to handle all the logic in a local script and only equip the tool in the server script, would that work?

frail mortar Nov 2, 2025, 6:08 PM

#

what exactly does CableTool or what is it for

covert spruce Nov 2, 2025, 6:08 PM

#

frail mortar what exactly does CableTool or what is it for

Its just a tool model in replicated storage, same with build tool

#

for now

frail mortar Nov 2, 2025, 6:09 PM

#

well if its in replicatedstorage ts doesnt even make sense cause exploiters have access to that

covert spruce Nov 2, 2025, 6:10 PM

#

frail mortar well if its in replicatedstorage ts doesnt even make sense cause exploiters have...

Its just a tool for decoration, like i can even make the system without the tool equip, its just for beauty

studio ** You are now Level 3! ** studio

frail mortar Nov 2, 2025, 6:10 PM

#

is everyone allowed to use it

covert spruce Nov 2, 2025, 6:10 PM

#

frail mortar is everyone allowed to use it

yeah

frail mortar Nov 2, 2025, 6:10 PM

#

then just make it client sided

covert spruce Nov 2, 2025, 6:10 PM

#

like its the essential tool for the game

frail mortar Nov 2, 2025, 6:11 PM

#

yeah just make it client sided

covert spruce Nov 2, 2025, 6:11 PM

#

frail mortar then just make it client sided

But then other players wont see the tool equiped?

#

i need a server script too

frail mortar Nov 2, 2025, 6:12 PM

#

make a parameter for equiped and unequiped in your remote event and just toggle it like that you don’t need to rlly always know whats the current state

#

yk what i mean

covert spruce Nov 2, 2025, 6:12 PM

#

frail mortar yk what i mean

Not realy

#

like a atribute boolean for equiped and unequiped?

frail mortar Nov 2, 2025, 6:14 PM

#

no

covert spruce Nov 2, 2025, 6:14 PM

#

OHHH

#

i get it

#

like event:FireServer(toolOn)?

frail mortar Nov 2, 2025, 6:18 PM

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local cableEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Cable")
local buildEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Build")
local cableTool = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CableTool")
local buildTool = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BuildTool")


local function toggleTool(tool, plr, toolActive)
    local character = plr.Character

    if toolActive == true then
        local tool = character:FindFirstChild(tool.Name)
        tool:Destroy()
        return
    end

    tool:Clone().Parent = character
end

cableEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, toolActive)
    toggleTool(cableTool, plr, toolActive)
end)

buildEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, toolActive)
    toggleTool(buildTool, plr, toolActive)
end)

#

check this

#

wait

#

actually

#

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local cableEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Cable")
local buildEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Build")
local cableTool = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CableTool")
local buildTool = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BuildTool")


local function toggleTool(tool, plr, toolActive)
    local character = plr.Character

    if toolActive == true then
        character:FindFirstChild(tool.Name):Destroy()
        return
    end

    tool:Clone().Parent = character
end

cableEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, toolActive)
    toggleTool(cableTool, plr, toolActive)
end)

buildEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, toolActive)
    toggleTool(buildTool, plr, toolActive)
end)

#

this

covert spruce Nov 2, 2025, 6:19 PM

#

yeah im doing that rn

frail mortar Nov 2, 2025, 6:20 PM

#

yk what i mean tho

#

idk why the hell you would do this server sided but i guess

covert spruce Nov 2, 2025, 6:28 PM

#

frail mortar idk why the hell you would do this server sided but i guess

Im a beginer :)

frail mortar Nov 2, 2025, 6:29 PM

#

ye i know

#

but if a player holds a tool it should automaticly show it for the other users

#Would this code have any issues in multiplayer?
