What do you need this for?
plush egret
to check if item exists in both server and client; as well as for other stuff
wicked creek
```lua
function module.FindInstance(name, class: optional | string, ancestorName...
i think you could remove a lot of the nesting by doing "if _ and _ then"
cause its pretty hard to follow with all of the nesting
its just a choice though honestly
orchid pelican
to check if item exists in both server and client; as well as for other stuff
Couldn't you just (from the client) parse the part name as an argument and maybe it's parent into a remote function to check if it exists? E.G
local function isClientInstance(instanceName, parent)
return (parent:FindFirstChild(instanceName) == nil)
end
OR (im unaware if this version would work or not)
just parse the part and see if the server recieves it? E.G:
local function isClientInstance(instance)
return (instance == nil)
end
that could work
plush egret
yea, it works
solar grove
if the point is checking if it only exists on the client or server then that would work
plush egret
it returns nil if the item only exists in client whenever you pass the instance[which only exists in client] to server
