wdym

pure radish Jun 30, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

like you can insert models right

#

doing stuff like :ins with admin commands

south socket Jun 30, 2023, 5:13 PM

#

you want to check server storage?

pure radish Jun 30, 2023, 5:13 PM

#

well like what if i put one model in workspace and one model in serverstorage

#

you need to make a seperate variable with game.GetService:(serverstorage) or smth along those lines

#

then you can simply do (variable).waitforchild:(thing your looking for )

pure radish Jun 30, 2023, 5:14 PM

#

so if i do that it doesnt matter if its in workspace or serverstorage?

south socket Jun 30, 2023, 5:14 PM

#

i mean you can use either

#

servestorage is just abit harder to get to

#

actually im pretty sure you cna just do game.serverstorage but i'd reccomend the varible if you plan to reuse the object

pure radish Jun 30, 2023, 5:23 PM

#

south socket actually im pretty sure you cna just do game.serverstorage but i'd reccomend the...

is there any way i could do something like this or is it just not possible

old birch Jun 30, 2023, 5:24 PM

#

you can do that

pure radish Jun 30, 2023, 5:25 PM

#

how do i fix the error under local

#

because it wasnt there when i did it without or im pretty sure

old birch Jun 30, 2023, 5:26 PM

#

if u hover your mouse over it, it will tell you the issue

#

over the local

pure radish Jun 30, 2023, 5:26 PM

#

expected identifier when parsing expression got local

old birch Jun 30, 2023, 5:27 PM

#

there msut be a error

#

above that line of code

pure radish Jun 30, 2023, 5:30 PM

#

old birch above that line of code

ok i fixed that but now

#

its saying this

#

but how come its not looking in workspace if i did serverstorage or workspace

old birch Jun 30, 2023, 5:30 PM

#

put game.Workspace["CRJ-200"] before

#

the game.ServerStorage

#

therefore it will check workspace first

pure radish Jun 30, 2023, 5:31 PM

#

old birch therefore it will check workspace first

then what if i put it in serverstorage

old birch Jun 30, 2023, 5:31 PM

#

it should be fine

#

as long as theres 1 in workspace or serverstorage

pure radish Jun 30, 2023, 5:33 PM

#

ok i inserted it through admin from serverstorage

#

and its saying the same thing

#

i dont know if i need to do some other script to insert it

old birch Jun 30, 2023, 5:36 PM

#

:WaitForChild() maybe?

pure radish Jun 30, 2023, 5:38 PM

#

saying this now

#

also not sure if i put waitforchild in the right place or not

old birch Jun 30, 2023, 5:39 PM

#

put in "CRJ-200" inside the () of WaitForChild

#

WaitForChild("CRJ-200")

pure radish Jun 30, 2023, 5:42 PM

old birch Jun 30, 2023, 5:45 PM

#

maybe jsut do a if statement to check if exists

pure radish Jun 30, 2023, 5:46 PM

#

if infront of the game.workspace stuff?

old birch Jun 30, 2023, 5:47 PM

#

local PLANE

if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("CRJ-200") then
  PLANE = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("CRJ-200")
elseif game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("CRJ-200") then
  PLANE = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("CRJ-200")
end```

pure radish Jun 30, 2023, 5:54 PM

#

old birch ``` local PLANE if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("CRJ-200") then PLANE = game...

#

the light only works when its started in workspace

old birch Jun 30, 2023, 5:55 PM

#

pure radish Jun 30, 2023, 5:56 PM

#

old birch Jun 30, 2023, 5:58 PM

pure radish Jun 30, 2023, 6:13 PM

#

old birch this doesnt have mousebutton1click on it

none of my scripts do

#

it has mousebutton1down

old birch Jun 30, 2023, 6:14 PM

#

pure radish

this says one of ur scripts does

#

and its because u changed the name of the text

#

so u will need to go into that script

#

and edit it so it matches the name of the text

pure radish Jun 30, 2023, 6:15 PM

#

old birch this says one of ur scripts does

weird i dont see any
