How to make a script insert a string into the newest part in a group?
Problem:
local String = Instance.new("ObjectValue", game.Workspace.Cake:FindFirstChild("Batter"))
String.Value = plr
String.Name = "Player Who Owns the Part"
Creates a string but puts it into the same part every time a part is made, and not the newest part.
Full Code:
local Button = script.Parent.Button2
local Drop = script.Parent.Drop
local Ready = true
local plrValue;
function MakeBlock(plr) -- added plr, because first argument of mouseclick is the player who has clicked it
if Ready then
Ready = false
local Block = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace.Cake)
Block.CFrame = Drop.CFrame
Block.Size = Vector3.new(3, 1.2, 3)
Block.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
Block.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Pastel brown")
Block.Name = "Batter"
local String = Instance.new("ObjectValue", game.Workspace.Cake:FindFirstChild("Batter"))
String.Value = plr
String.Name = "Player Who Owns the Part"
game.Debris:AddItem(Block, 400)
wait(3)
Ready = true
end
end
Button.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(MakeBlock)
Everything works, I just need it to insert a String into the newest part of the group..
This script listens to a button that tells the script to make a new part called Batter, in a group named Cake.
Then it gives the Batter a Object Value which states the owner.
It keeps placing the string into the same part though.. Here's whats happening. I need to find a way to make it put a string in the newest part
If anyone can help, that would be great. :)

Just set the object's parent to Block instead of :FindFirstChild("Batter")

FindFirstChild does what it says - it finds the first child that matches the name. The newest batter won't be the first child.
local Button = script.Parent.Button2
local Drop = script.Parent.Drop
local Ready = true
local plrValue;
function MakeBlock(plr) -- added plr, because first argument of mouseclick is the player who has clicked it
if Ready then
Ready = false
local Block = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace.Cake)
Block.CFrame = Drop.CFrame
Block.Size = Vector3.new(3, 1.2, 3)
Block.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
Block.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Pastel brown")
Block.Name = "Batter"
local String = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
String.Parent = Block
String.Value = plr
String.Name = "Player Who Owns the Part"
game.Debris:AddItem(Block, 400)
wait(3)
Ready = true
end
end
Button.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(MakeBlock)
local Button = script.Parent.Button2
local Drop = script.Parent.Drop
local Ready = true
local plrValue;
local newBatter;
function MakeBlock(plr) -- added plr, because first argument of mouseclick is the player who has clicked it
if Ready then
Ready = false
newBatter = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace.Cake)
Block.CFrame = Drop.CFrame
Block.Size = Vector3.new(3, 1.2, 3)
Block.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
Block.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Pastel brown")
Block.Name = "Batter"
local String = Instance.new("ObjectValue", newBatter)
String.Value = plr
String.Name = "Player Who Owns the Part"
game.Debris:AddItem(Block, 400)
wait(3)
Ready = true
end
end
Button.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(MakeBlock)
so i modified to code so that it will do what you wanted, basically i constantly keep a reference to the last created batter and give that the string, sintead of look for the firstchild named batter
You should use @EmeraldLimes 's module Attributez rather than creating an ObjectValue
Thank's for the replies guys.
All your suggestions look like they'll work. :)
