Tool.Name， I think I’m doing this wrong， whenever I call Tool:Destroy() on a BaseTool (Tool) object it’ll destroy it， except the only change I made was by adding __index inside of the PropaneTank.new() function so I could read the properties of the PropaneTank… But if I remove that then my script will also break… Yeah I’m not sure what’s going on anymore.
