I need the cylinder part (glowberryModel) to have itself be copied and spawned on the square part (spawn) but the script I have doesn't work, what's going wrong?

#

Brand new to coding by the way so please be as simple as possible :p

what is the purpose of "glowberry"

pearl hazel what is the purpose of "glowberry"

It doesn't really have a purpose I've just started the creation of the game. I just want to figure out how to make a copy of glowberry that will have a chance to appear on spawn every now and again before I develop it further

pearl hazel Apr 30, 2025, 4:03 PM

#

sorta like a random spawn?

queen nest Apr 30, 2025, 4:03 PM

#

Yeah, a random spawn on a specific point

#

Aka spawn

pearl hazel Apr 30, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

only one spawn point?

queen nest Apr 30, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

I'll add more later, but for now Im just trying it with this one spawn point

#

I can always just duplicate spawn and have it in several places around the map

pearl hazel Apr 30, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

its not that simple lol

#

okay let me try make you something

queen nest Apr 30, 2025, 4:05 PM

#

pearl hazel its not that simple lol

Oh God

#

The 5 words I didn't want to hear 😭

queen nest Apr 30, 2025, 4:05 PM

#

pearl hazel okay let me try make you something

If you can, that would be PERFECT

pearl hazel Apr 30, 2025, 4:06 PM

#

any specific spawn interval?

queen nest Apr 30, 2025, 4:06 PM

#

I'm confused why it's not that simple though, wouldnt each spawn have a chance at duplicating glowberry and having it spawn?

queen nest Apr 30, 2025, 4:06 PM

#

pearl hazel any specific spawn interval?

Not really because I can change it when necessary

pearl hazel Apr 30, 2025, 4:11 PM

#

queen nest I'm confused why it's not that simple though, wouldnt each spawn have a chance ...

well, it might just spawn on all the spawns at once then

queen nest Apr 30, 2025, 4:11 PM

#

Ah that makes sense actually

pearl hazel Apr 30, 2025, 4:12 PM

#

what i did is i made two spawns, "glowberryspawn1" and "glowberryspawn2" so it spawns randomly between the two and only onone of them

queen nest Apr 30, 2025, 4:12 PM

#

Oh cool!

pearl hazel Apr 30, 2025, 4:12 PM

#

just testing

queen nest Apr 30, 2025, 4:13 PM

#

If I were to add more glowberry spawns later on is that possible?

pearl hazel Apr 30, 2025, 4:14 PM

#

yes i will show you how in a second

#

do you want the glowberry to get destroyed when it respawns on another spawn? or just them to pile up

queen nest Apr 30, 2025, 4:14 PM

#

Id like to have them able to spawn at the same time, but not all the time

#

If you get me

pearl hazel Apr 30, 2025, 4:14 PM

#

i dont understand lol

queen nest Apr 30, 2025, 4:15 PM

#

Let me think of how to explain this

#

Each spawn has its own chance to spawn the glowberry for 5 minutes at a time, so multiple could spawn but none might spawn

pearl hazel Apr 30, 2025, 4:15 PM

#

im saying after it spawns on another spawnpad must it stay on both spawns or get destroyed on the original spawn

queen nest Apr 30, 2025, 4:16 PM

#

pearl hazel im saying after it spawns on another spawnpad must it stay on both spawns or get...

Nope, thanks for clarifying, id like them to spawn on a pad, exist for 5 minutes, and then disappear

pearl hazel Apr 30, 2025, 4:16 PM

#

gotcha

queen nest Apr 30, 2025, 4:16 PM

#

So every 5 minutes 1 pad could spawn one, or none, or all of them

#

I hope that's a little clearer sorry

pearl hazel Apr 30, 2025, 4:18 PM

#

for the sake of time im just going to make it a couple of seconds but you can change it later

queen nest Apr 30, 2025, 4:18 PM

#

Yeah ofc that's fine, I was trying to do that anyways haha

--Put this script into ServerScriptService.
--Make three parts each called GlowberrySpawn1, GlowberrySpawn2, GlowberrySpawn3.
--Make a part named "Glowberry" and put it into ReplicatedStorage, the part will dissapear its normal.
--Anchor all parts so they dont roll around on the map
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local glowberryTemplate = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Glowberry")

local spawnPoints = {
    workspace:WaitForChild("GlowberrySpawn1"),
    workspace:WaitForChild("GlowberrySpawn2"),
    workspace:WaitForChild("GlowberrySpawn3")
}

local spawnInterval = 12 -- Time between spawns (SECONDS)
local activeGlowberries = {} -- Track current glowberries

-- Chance to spawn at a given point (between 0 and 1), 0=none 1=always
local spawnChance = 0.5 -- 50% chance

-- Function to spawn a glowberry at a specific spawn point
local function trySpawnGlowberry(spawnPart)
    if math.random() < spawnChance then
        local glowberry = glowberryTemplate:Clone()
        glowberry.CFrame = spawnPart.CFrame
        glowberry.Parent = workspace

        table.insert(activeGlowberries, glowberry)

        -- Destroy it after 5 seconds (deletes after 5 seconds)
        task.delay(5, function()
            if glowberry and glowberry.Parent then
                glowberry:Destroy()
            end
        end)
    end
end

-- Main loop (DONT CHANGE OR IT WILL BREAK)
while true do
    wait(spawnInterval)

    -- Clear previous references
    activeGlowberries = {}

    -- Try spawning at each spawn point
    for _, spawn in pairs(spawnPoints) do
        trySpawnGlowberry(spawn)
    end
end

there will be a little copy button when you hover over it

#

just click that and wabam!
