How can I select different part names within a function?
1 | function generateMedKit(name,XYZ) |
2 | local MedKits = game.ServerStorage.MedKits.name |
3 | MedKits.Position = XYZ |
4 | MedKits.Parent = game.Workspace |
5 | end |
6 | generateMedKit("Med1","Vector3.new(463.39, 28.452, 220.52)") |
7 | generateMedKit("Med2","Vector3.new(463.39, 28.452, 208.84)") |
8 | generateMedKit("Med3","Vector3.new(463.39, 28.452, 196.33)") |
I understand what is not working here, but I am not sure how to fix it. The variable is being set to "game.ServerStorage.MedKits.name", but I need the script to make "name" whatever I write within the argument like "Med1" that way for each function I call I can select a different part within the ServerStorage.
1 | function generateMedKit(name,XYZ) |
2 | local partName = name |
3 | local MedKits = game.ServerStorage.MedKits.partName |
4 | MedKits.Position = XYZ |
5 | MedKits.Parent = game.Workspace |
6 | end |
7 | generateMedKit("Med1","Vector3.new(463.39, 28.452, 220.52)") |
8 | generateMedKit("Med2","Vector3.new(463.39, 28.452, 208.84)") |
9 | generateMedKit("Med3","Vector3.new(463.39, 28.452, 196.33)") |
I also tried doing it this way trying make "partName" a variable of the "name" I wanted, but it didn't work.
Sorry if it is hard to understand what I'm asking, I just started scripting and can't explain this stuff well yet. I'm not even sure if any of this script could even work.

I have a group called MedKits with Med1 through Med3 within it and I need to select one Med at a time. So yes I am trying to select a specific Med ElectricZooo 55 — 5y

Use :FindFirstChild(name)
1 | function generateMedKit(name, XYZ) |
2 | local MedKits = game.ServerStorage.MedKits:FindFirstChild(name) |
3 | MedKits.Position = XYZ |
4 | MedKits.Parent = game.Workspace |
5 | end |
6 | generateMedKit("Med1","Vector3.new(463.39, 28.452, 220.52)") |
7 | generateMedKit("Med2","Vector3.new(463.39, 28.452, 208.84)") |
8 | generateMedKit("Med3","Vector3.new(463.39, 28.452, 196.33)") |
