Attempt to Destroy Welds Failed?
a splitter script where when touched will destroy any welds in the part that touched it
return function()
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(t)
if t.Name == "Pushbox" and t.Parent.Name or t.Parent.Parent.Name == "DualityPushboxSpawnButton" then --seeing if the part touched is named 'pushbox and the parent's name of the pushbox is 'DualityPushboxSpawnButton'
for i,v in pairs(t.Parent or t.Parent.Parent) do
if v.Name == "WeldConstraint" or "Weld" then
v:Destroy() -- seeing if the dualitypushboxspawnbutton contains any welds, and destroys them
end
end
end
end)
end

The problem is that you're directly referencing the Object without calling GetChildren(). The pairs function expects you to input a table (which is what GetChildren() returns) but you're instead inputting an instance object (t.Parent and t.Parent.Parent), hence the error.
Fixing this is quite easy.
return function()
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(t)
if t.Name == "Pushbox" and t.Parent.Name or t.Parent.Parent.Name == "DualityPushboxSpawnButton" then
for i,v in pairs(t.Parent:GetChildren() or t.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()) do -- Now the script uses the object's children instead of the object directly.
if v.Name == "WeldConstraint" or "Weld" then
v:Destroy() destroys them
end
end
end
end)
end
