How to clone tables and give them a parent?
Hello,
Im trying to make a plot saving and loading system by using datastore. I can print the table by unpacking it and it prints the saved parts of the plor. But I can't copy them and give them a parent by unpacking it.
If anyone knows how to clone and give a parent to a table.Any help would be awesome.

You can use a for - loop to get all of the assets in the table, then you can clone them and parent them.
1 | for i, TableChild in pairs(table) do -- Replace table with the actual table. |
2 | local newTableChild = TableChild:Clone() |
3 | newTableChild.Parent = workspace.TableFolder -- Replace with where you want it to be parented. |
4 | end |

what is tablechild in this script like table:GetChildren or unpack(table)? DmrGamingX 64 — 4y

TableChikd is what we define the parts in the "table" table, everything that's in that table is defined as TableChild. The for - loop will loop through each child and run the stuff inside the loop on them. ACHRONlX 255 — 4y
