How do I detect if a thing has a certain child, and detect if it does?
I'm trying to change the starter character to a cat maid, but if its already a cat maid I dont want it to keep cloning. Im fairly new the scripting;
local function leftClick()
local found = workspace:FindFirstChild("StarterCharacter")
if found then
print("kiwi")
game.Workspace.Classes.CatMaid:Clone()
game.Workspace.Classes.CatMaid:Clone().Parent = game.StarterPlayer
game.Workspace.game.CatMaid:Clone().Name = "StarterCharacter"
end
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(leftClick)
I used the dev forum to help me a bit https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/Instance/FindFirstChild

What if you make a debounce using an if statement? Like this:
local DB = false
local function leftClick()
if DB == true then return end
DB = true
local found = workspace:FindFirstChild("StarterCharacter")
if found then
print("kiwi")
game.Workspace.Classes.CatMaid:Clone()
game.Workspace.Classes.CatMaid:Clone().Parent = game.StarterPlayer
game.Workspace.game.CatMaid:Clone().Name = "StarterCharacter"
end
end
--Function for resetting your debounce
local function ResetDB()
DB = false
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(leftClick)
EDIT: also, define a local for your clone.
local cln = game.Workspace.Classes.CatMaid:Clone() cln.Parent = game.StarterPlayer cln.Name = "StarterCharacter"
