    local character = player.Character
    
    local existingTools = {}
    for _, tool in player.Backpack:GetChildren() do
        if tool:IsA("Tool") then
            existingTools[tool.Name] = (existingTools[tool.Name] or 0) + 1
        end
    end
    if character then
        for _, tool in character:GetChildren() do
            if tool:IsA("Tool") then
                existingTools[tool.Name] = (existingTools[tool.Name] or 0) + 1

    for colorName, amount in playerColors do
        local toolTemplate = ToolsFolder:FindFirstChild(colorName)
        if toolTemplate then
            local currentAmount = existingTools[colorName] or 0
            local toGive = amount - currentAmount
            for i = 1, toGive do
                local toolClone = toolTemplate:Clone()
                toolClone.Parent = player.Backpack
            end
        end

OH WAIT

wanton wasp

wanton wasp
#

just try it

#

it's probably bc the character isn't loaded yet

#

and equip waits until character exist so it can detect if ur tool is inside the character (also known as equipping the item)

#

so basically if u do that before the character load, the equip points to no character meaning it won't just work bc it doesn't know the character

indigo crystal
#

So player.CharacterAdded function inside playeradded? Or seperate

wanton wasp
#

wait nvm im wrong

#

let me see

#

it's smth about roblox give me a sec

#

nvm just try what I said and hope it'll work

#

if ur me ill just recode some of the whole thing
