studio ** You are now Level 2! ** studio

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:12 AM

#

ok so

#

i created a button which spawns parts into workspace, and than made it so when it spawns parts, you can press the button again to stop spawning parts.

#

prolly an easy fix for those who are not a beginner at coding

#

The problem im having rn is

#

making a button that clears the parts

#

idk if i just be using "findfirstchild" to find the parts or

#

smt else

#

i js need help on that

#

if anyone could help i would really appreciate it

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:14 AM

#

clears? use a for loop over all the buttons and do button:Destroy()

#

like

#

for i, button in Buttons do
button:Destroy()
end

#

if it's a folder of buttons you dont need to do find first child

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:15 AM

#

so it deletes all the parts

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:15 AM

#

yea

#

oh wait you mean button that clears parts

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:15 AM

#

yea

#

also sorry if this is dumb because im getting back into coding lol

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:16 AM

#

i see

#

did you create a folder of all the parts you want to destroy?

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:16 AM

#

spawn parts spawns them, and you can press clear to clear the parts

#

nah i didnt is it better if i do that

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:17 AM

#

yea

#

it makes it more organized

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:17 AM

#

alr wait

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:17 AM

#

and easier to access

#

alr

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:17 AM

#

im gonna show u the script i alr have rq

#

then add the parts to the folder

#

local button = script.Parent

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if parts then
        parts.Destroy()    
    else
        button.Text = "No parts found."
        wait(0.75)
        button.Text = "No parts found.."
        wait(0.75)
        button.Text = "No parts found..."
        wait(0.75)
        button.Text = "No parts found."
        wait(0.75)
        button.Text = "Clear parts."
    end
end)```

#

this is the clear parts button

#

and ill send the script for the create parts button

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:18 AM

#

alr

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:19 AM

#

wait btw

#

how do i send it in lua format

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:19 AM

#

lua

#

like that

#

where lua is the text

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:20 AM

#

local button = script.Parent
spawning = false
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if button.Text == "Spawn parts." then
        button.Text = "Stop."
        while button.Text == "Stop." do
            wait(0.01)
            local newpart = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
            newpart.Position = Vector3.new(0,30,0)
            newpart.Anchored = false
            newpart.Name = "Spawnpart"
        end
    end
    if button.Text == "Stop." then
        button.Text = "Spawn parts."
    end
    
end)

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:20 AM

#

alr 1m

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:21 AM

#

npnp

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:21 AM

#

ill replicate this in studio

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:21 AM

#

alright

#

take your time

#

idk if you needed a video but heres one anyways

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:27 AM

#

oh wait you already did the spawn parts

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:27 AM

#

yea

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:27 AM

#

you can just spawn them in a folder

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:28 AM

#

yeah i just did that

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:28 AM

#

oh then just destroy all the parts in the folder:

local Parts = workspace.Parts
local button = script.Parent

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    for _, part in Parts do 
        if part:IsA("BasePart") then
            part:Destroy()
        end
    end
end)

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:29 AM

#

ahh for loops

#

totally forgot bout that

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:29 AM

#

ye

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:29 AM

#

tysm broo

#

i appreciate it hella

#

was stuck on that for a while

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:30 AM

#

you might want to add a check if there is no folder

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:30 AM

#

woeful light ```local parts = workspace:FindFirstChild("Spawnpart") local button = script.Par...

i think what ill do

#

since i have a check there already

#

is add the for loop in the if condition

#

i can do that right?

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:31 AM

#

ye

#

local Parts = workspace.Parts
local button = script.Parent

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    for _, part in Parts do 
        if part:IsA("BasePart") then
            part:Destroy()
        elseif #parts == 0 then
            print("no parts. wil not destroy.")
        end
    end
end)```

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:32 AM

#

alright thanks bro

ashen trellisBOT Apr 9, 2024, 1:32 AM

#

studio ** You are now Level 3! ** studio

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:32 AM

#

no problem

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:35 AM

#

woeful light alright thanks bro

local Parts = workspace.Parts:GetChildren()
local button = script.Parent

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if #Parts > 0 then
        for _, part in Parts do 
            if part:IsA("BasePart") then
                part:Destroy()
            end
        end
    else
        print("no parts. will not destroy.")
    end
end)

#

also this is a more optimized way of doing it

#

if you want

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:36 AM

#

alr bet

#

also

#

to get the parts

#

could i do like

#

local parts = game.workspace.folder:GetChildren()

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:37 AM

#

yeah

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:37 AM

#

alright ty

#

and than i could do if parts >= 1 then ... right

#

last question ill ask @fossil juniper i feel bad bothering you

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:40 AM

#

woeful light and than i could do if parts >= 1 then ... right

dont think that's needed, > 0 is just checking if there are more than 0 parts

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:41 AM

#

woeful light last question ill ask <@1216875405672317018> i feel bad bothering you

no worries !

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 1:49 AM

#

fossil juniper dont think that's needed, > 0 is just checking if there are more than 0 parts

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 1:59 AM

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 2:39 AM

weird

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 2:39 AM

woeful light

same as this

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 2:39 AM

#

hm

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 2:39 AM

#

wait

#

nvm my idea didnt work

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 2:41 AM

#

since you're going to have parts anyway:

local parts = workspace.Parts:GetChildren()
local button = script.Parent

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if #parts > 0 then
        for _, part in parts do
                part:Destroy()
        end
    else
        button.Text = "No parts found."
        wait(0.75)
        button.Text = "No parts found.."
        wait(0.75)
        button.Text = "No parts found..."
        wait(0.75)
        button.Text = "No parts found."
        wait(0.75)
        button.Text = "Clear parts."
    end
end)```

#

i removed the other check

#

it should work

#

if you think its right it might be sum wrong with the variables or something

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 2:45 AM

#

rlly?

try removing GetChildren

#

just do workspace.Parts

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 2:46 AM

#

#

tysmm bro

#

you press a button, parts spawn, if you press it again, then they stop spawning

#

i coded that correctly

#

and it works

#

however now

#

im tryna create a clear parts button, thats the thing thats not working

woeful light Apr 9, 2024, 3:59 AM

#

fossil juniper since you're going to have parts anyway: ```lua local parts = workspace.Parts:G...

so now this

#

is the thing we created

#

and its not working and we have no idea why

#

alright

#

its just the local script

#

oh shitt my bad

#

#

#

#

alright

#

YOOO

#

IT WORKED

#

TYSM

#

cant believe i didnt think bout that bro

#

tysmmm @fervent fern @fossil juniper i really appreciate it

main wyvern Apr 9, 2024, 7:56 AM

#

im no expert but I think you need to use a remote event for it to remove the parts on everyones end

fossil juniper Apr 9, 2024, 7:27 PM
