fast question about a loop.

[sinful patrol]

for _, barry in pairs(barrytable) do
if barry then
print("barry found.")

this is printing barry found only one time, even if the elements inside the barrytable are 5, why?

and they all named barry

[junior flame]

if barry then is true all the time except if the value is false

show the whole code next time plz

[sinful patrol]

ill show it now

[proper barn]

** You are now Level 9! **

[junior flame]

y tho i just told you, if barry then is only checking the truthiness of the value. it doesnt matter if its an instance named barry or not.

[sinful patrol]

you right but it seems that thats not he problem

wait a sec ill send the script

local bushpart = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("BushPart")
local barriesfolder = bushpart:WaitForChild("Barries")



function foundbarries()
local barriestables = {} 
for _, barry in pairs(barriesfolder:GetChildren()) do
    if barry then
        table.insert(barriestables, barry)
        print("barry found")
        barry.Size = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
    end
end
    return barriestables 
end


local barrytable = foundbarries()
print(#barrytable)
for _, barry in pairs(barrytable) do
    if barry then
    print("barry found",_)
local growth = barry:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("BoolValue")
local prompt = barry:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("ProximityPrompt")
for i = 0, 3 do
    barry.Size = barry.Size + Vector3.new(0.1,0.1,0.1)
    task.wait(3)
    print("barry size updated")
    end
    growth.Value = true
    prompt.Enabled = true
    end
end

@junior flame

[junior flame]

local script or serverscript?

[sinful patrol]

server

all elements are in the table i checked

[junior flame]

whats wrong with it

[sinful patrol]

im doing something wrong with the 2nd loop

[sinful patrol]

basically

for i = 0, 3 do
barry.Size = barry.Size + Vector3.new(0.1,0.1,0.1)
task.wait(3)
print("barry size updated")
end
growth.Value = true
prompt.Enabled = true

this works only for one berry

[junior flame]

maybe there's only one

your code only runs once so there's that

use collectionservice maybe

also ☠️ grow a garden clone

if you stuck on this you aint no chance at the offline thing

[sinful patrol]

bro wtf im just trying to learn scripting and making a collectable berry not grow a garden

btw

what do you mean by using collectionservice

why would i need that

[junior flame]

maybe look up what it is and you tell me some situations where you might need that

[sinful patrol]

i know what is it

but i dont find reason to use it there

broo im so confused this should be easy

what is wrong with that loop

every berry should grow

[junior flame]

where is this script

and is this the whole script

[sinful patrol]

serverscript

[sinful patrol]

yea

maybe

some debug lines?

to see

but as i said print("barry found",_)
it prints barry found 1

[junior flame]

so yea like i was saying your code only runs once so if you have a different script creating them it might only be picking up one. do also add more prints, check output window, consider breakpoints etc

check your explorer to see if there's more than 1 in the right place etc

[sinful patrol]

the weird thing is that if i check the table before the loop it gives all the 5 berries, but inside the loop i get only one

[junior flame]

tell me some situations where you might need collectionservice which is not at all related to a collection of berries on a berry bush and even less related to the first step in making a grow a garden clone etc but idk i just say things for the sake of saying things sometimes, your guess is as good as mine

[junior flame]

you also have a task.wait in the big loop so whole thing runs very sloooow lua for i = 0, 3 do barry.Size = barry.Size + Vector3.new(0.1,0.1,0.1) task.wait(3) print("barry size updated") end

[sinful patrol]

it needs to be like that

every 3 seconds it grows

[junior flame]

which i'm sure has nothing to do with an attempted first berry bush of a grow a garden clone idk im just saying stuff for the sake of saying stuff at this point

[sinful patrol]

is it wrong?

[junior flame]

good luck

[sinful patrol]

i said that im not making grow a garden?

[sinful patrol]

.

not every bush means is grow a garden, im learning scripting and i tought this was a good thing to start

why would i lie to you xd

i appreciate the suggestions but i dont understood why did u get mad over the fact that im cloning a game

even if i was doing that its still a great thing to "replicate systems" to learn

[junior flame]

so it is a fact that you're trying to clone grow a garden as your first game? why would you lie to me indeed xd

[junior flame]

also i dont care all that much i just think it's funny any time a new game hits the front page tonnes of attempted clones will immediately follow, for the last few weeks it's been dead rails, now it's grow a garden lol. it's bound to happen. anyway like i said maybe try collectionservice.

[sinful patrol]

alr so tell me why would i clone a game? im just doing a bush grow system to exercise on functions and loops, there are thousands of tutorial on youtube of how to clone grow a garden i think so there is a reason if im not watching them im just trying to learn some fondumentals

[sinful patrol]

i dont really care if u think im cloning a game or not, im just trying to make some systems to undestand the foundumentals, it can be a survival game too lol. btw just dont stress too much about it thanks for the suggestions

[junior flame]

for weeks before dead rails it's been mostly tsb clones, it's nice to see beginners moving onto something arguably much easier to make than a combat system or making trains follow a path of rails or procedural generation etc

there's only been a couple of questions about procedurally generating plants ;p

[junior flame]

collectionservice has a lot of properties that are very useful for what you're trying to do and conveniently solve a lot of little problems in what you're trying to do, and no doubt you're going to want more than 1 berry bush, so may as well rip that bandaid off and give it a shot 👍
