I really need to be able to force players to select HopperBins and, if failing that, Tools (The tool, however, must not be visible) My current script for doing it is this (Uses a tool but fails to work) local tool = script.Parent.Tool tool.Equipped:connect(function(mouse) print("It.. worked!") mouse.Icon = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=73087677" tool:Destroy() end) tool.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.Character

So... Um what's wrong with the script. Do you want it to disappear? Or is it not working at all?

It fires the Equipped event but immediatly sets the Mouse to Inactive (The hopperbin is deleted)

local tool = script.Parent.Tool tool.Equipped:connect(function(mouse) print("It.. worked!") mouse.Icon = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=73087677" tool:remove() end) tool.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.Character Use that.

How will changing Destroy to Remove help?

> tool.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.Character Once you `:Destroy()` an instance, it becomes RbxLocked so that you can't reparent it and all things connected to it are disconnected. If you want to reparent, use `:remove()` or `.Parent=nil` but remember if you use `:remove()` you will lose access to all of the children of the hopperbin.

That's what I don't like about the "improved" remove, Destroy() it locks the parent property, so you cant recover it, they need to take out the depreciation of it, they are completely different.

@robocorp; :Remove() accomplishes the same as .Parent = nil

@SDuke: The tool.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.Character part is before the tool gets destroyed. I have seen this done before...
