sleek token
kind of hard to explain but I have (for example) a name of a part with Part.Name. The problem is that a few lines down I need to get a child of a folder that has the Part.Name's name and I have no idea how to do it.
Here is example code if it worked like this:
local myPartsName = workspace.Part.Name
local childOfFolder = workspace.myEpicFolder. -- myPartsName would go here but I need it to use the value of myPartsName not myPartsName itself.

do you mean you want to get the child with the name u got in "myPartsName"?
sleek token
yes
scenic plover
workspace.myEpicFolder[myPartsName]
or
workspace.myEpicFolder:FindFirstChild(myPartsName)

ohh ok thanks
lemmie see if it works
ok so it works to an extent
when i print the result it gives [Instance(200B1EA9848)] = {} (im setting it to an empty table on purpose)
scenic plover
what u printed
sleek token
it should be myCoolPart = {}
scenic plover
thats the reference to your part tho
scenic plover
being honest idk why that happens
but yeah that weird thing is your part
if u want to name u can do maybe
table[part.Name] = part
sum like that
sleek token
it should be `myCoolPart = {}`
returns this
scenic plover
and then u get the key
