the tool gets loaded in faster than the connection gets time to register it

static turtle Apr 19, 2026, 4:15 PM

#

I take the object in my hands and put it back in my backpack, how does it work?

#

tool in starter pack

maiden totem Apr 19, 2026, 4:16 PM

#

like you want to see when your player unequips the tool?

static turtle Apr 19, 2026, 4:16 PM

#

yes

maiden totem Apr 19, 2026, 4:16 PM

#

for _, v in plr.Backpack:GetChildren() do
  v.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    print("tool unequipped")
  end)
end

#

and you can do a backpack.childadded if you want it to register tools that get added later on

is there any way to wait for the player to load?

#

static turtle is there any way to wait for the player to load?

no not necessarily

#

what do you mean by wait for the player to load

#

what do you mean by loading

static turtle Apr 19, 2026, 4:29 PM

#

if you wait 5 seconds and connect ChildAdded, it will start working, but if you connect it immediately, nothing will happen

static turtle if you wait 5 seconds and connect ChildAdded, it will start working, but if you ...

#

static turtle Apr 19, 2026, 4:34 PM

#

#

maiden totem Apr 19, 2026, 4:34 PM

#

alright

static turtle Apr 19, 2026, 4:36 PM

#

#

It doesn't work without wait

river robin Apr 19, 2026, 4:38 PM

#

Player:WaitForChild("Backpack")?

static turtle Apr 19, 2026, 4:39 PM

#

I tried it

river robin Apr 19, 2026, 4:39 PM

#

Didn't work?

static turtle Apr 19, 2026, 4:39 PM

#

no response

river robin Apr 19, 2026, 4:39 PM

#

Uh

#

Can you show us what happens when you press play?

#

Like loading into the game

#

Nvm

#

Saw it

static turtle Apr 19, 2026, 4:40 PM

#

uhh okay

river robin Apr 19, 2026, 4:41 PM

#

Uh

#

Did it print when you added the wait?

#

Like child added

#

Oop

#

Saw it

#

Yeah it didnt print

#

Anything

#

It didnt print 1

#

It's because starter pack won't signal it

static turtle Apr 19, 2026, 4:43 PM

#

river robin It's because starter pack won't signal it

I've already pulled it out of the starterpack and moved it to workspace.

river robin Apr 19, 2026, 4:44 PM

#

Yeahh I overlooked it mb

#

Uh

static turtle Apr 19, 2026, 4:44 PM

#

@river robin Any ideas?

#

I ran into this problem when I was doing the inventory limit, but the item counter wasn't updated in any way, so I created a test location and am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong.

river robin Apr 19, 2026, 7:06 PM

#

Maybe try waiting for character added?

#

    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        local backpack = player:WaitForChild("Backpack")
        backpack.ChildAdded:Connect(function(item)
            print(player.Name .. " received item: " .. item.Name)
        end)
    end)
end)```

#

Yeah there's something about backpacks being tied to player characters

#

@static turtle try this out

#

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Backpack even in the official they tie it around characters
