When the user presses backspace, I want to remove the currently equipped gear if any.
First I tried this:
player:GetMouse().KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if string.byte(key) == 8 then
-- backspace key was pressed
for _, child in pairs(player.Character:GetChildren()) do
if child.ClassName == "Tool" then
child:Destroy()
end
end
end
end)
But that didn't work because the tool had already been moved by the time my listener was called. I could do this:
player.Backpack.ChildRemoved:connect(function(child)
wait()
if child.Parent == Workspace then
child:Destroy()
end
end)
Are there any better solutions, preferably that don't use wait or tick? |

Why don't you use a ChildAdded event on workspace?
workspace.ChildAdded:connect(function(child)
if child:IsA("Tool") then
child:Destroy()
end
end) |

Actually, your second one would only fire once and wouldn't remove it once it entered the workspace simply because tools are removed from your backpack and put into your character when you use them. |

Why not just set the .CanBeDropped property to false? |

Because then the tool is moved to the backpack, instead of being removed altogether. |

workspace.ChildAdded:connect(function(x)
if x:IsA("Tool") or x:IsA("HopperBin") then
x:Destroy()
end
end) |

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plyr)
plyr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
char.ChildAdded:connect(function(child)
if child:IsA("Tool") then
plyr:GetMouse().KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key:byte() == 8 and child and plyr.Backpack:FindFirstChild(child.Name) then
child:Destroy()
end
end)
end
end)
end)
end)
Something like that? |

I don't know if you consider this hacky but use a hopperbin and weld anything to the player for the tool part. (unless you need tool-specific methods, hopperbins are the best because they stay selected when you press backspack) |

Set CanBeDropped to false and use a modified version of your first example? |
