How do I access the "anchored" function without having to call each particular part?

Asked by

this is my current script:


while true do
    print(script.Parent.Part1.Anchored)
    print(script.Parent.Humanoid.Health)

    wait(20)

    script.Parent.Part1.Anchored = false
    script.Parent.Part2.Anchored = false
    script.Parent.Part3.Anchored = false


    script.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 0

    print(script.Parent.Humanoid.Health)

end

I think to do what I want it to, I would have to use the GetChildren Function? I dont really understand it though.

GetChildren Explanation

GetChildren is a function of Instance that returns a table of Instances. You can loop through this to modify each child.

How to Use GetChildren

Using it is actually pretty simple when you figure it out. Look at my example below. It will do a for loop on the children and then check their class to make sure they are actually parts.

for i,v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
    if v:IsA("BasePart") then -- BaseParts are basically what you want to use when checking through different types of parts in order to achieve the same result
        v.Anchored = false
    end
end
