What's the correct way to make this work?

[zenith geyser]

I want to make a part in the script where at the start, there's a lot of children in different items inside one folder named items, and i want to reduce them to maxStock, in this case, 8, this is my current code

local gs1 = workspace:WaitForChild("Map"):WaitForChild("GasStation1")
local store = gs1:WaitForChild("Store")
local interior = store:WaitForChild("Interier")
local register = interior:WaitForChild("Register"):WaitForChild("CashRegister")
local drawer = register:WaitForChild("CashDrawer")
local drawerprompt = drawer:WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt")

local itemsFolder = interior:WaitForChild("Items")
local maxStock = 8

for _, itemModel in ipairs(itemsFolder:GetChildren()) do
    local children = itemModel:GetChildren()
    for i = maxStock + 1, #children do
        children[i]:Destroy()
    end
end```

local gs1 = workspace:WaitForChild("Map"):WaitForChild("GasStation1")
local store = gs1:WaitForChild("Store")
local interior = store:WaitForChild("Interier")
local register = interior:WaitForChild("Register"):WaitForChild("CashRegister")
local drawer = register:WaitForChild("CashDrawer")
local drawerPrompt = drawer:WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt")

local itemsFolder = interior:WaitForChild("Items")
local maxStock = 8

for _, itemModel in ipairs(itemsFolder:GetChildren()) do
local parts = {}
for _, child in ipairs(itemModel:GetChildren()) do
if child:IsA("BasePart") then
table.insert(parts, child)
end
end

if #parts > maxStock then
    table.sort(parts, function(a, b)
        return a.Name < b.Name
    end)

    for i = maxStock + 1, #parts do
        parts[i]:Destroy()
    end
end

end

thanks

first of all

do not use that many WaitForChild

thats useless

just use points

cause most of the things that spawns in the game they spawn before any script

so no need to use that many wait for child

got it

[alpine quarry]

Only use waitforchild if something isint loaded yet right?

[hardy dove]

yea

for i, obj in itemModel:GetChildren() do
if i <= maxStock then
obj:Destroy()
end
end

But I assume this is for a “drawer” or “cash register” type thing
