How to know if there is 2 of the same part?
I want to know how know if there is 2 of the same part. I am making a little puzzle that the player needs to solve by pushing around the ball. My code:
local toggle = false
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
if not toggle then
toggle = true
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black")
script.Parent.Material = ("Plastic")
local ball = Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace)
Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace)
ball.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
ball.Position = Vector3.new(-24, 110, 0)
ball.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white")
ball.Material = ("SmoothPlastic")
ball.Size = Vector3.new(10, 10, 10)
ball.Name = ("Ball")
game.Workspace.Ball:Destroy()
wait(5)
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
script.Parent.Material = ("Neon")
toggle = false
end
end
end)
I want to make it so if there is 2 balls then the script will delete one ball. But I don't know how to count how many balls there is and there is one problem were if there is no balls like if it falls off the map and I respawn it will just delete it self. How do I fix this?

Before you spawn the first ball, delete the second one. If these balls are bound to a specific player you may want to make a way to tag the player with it. Perhaps with a custom property in the ball.

You can try checking every instance in the workspace, and if it matches the name of the balls, just add it to a table, and do whatever you wanted to!
local children = workspace:GetDescendants()
local balls = {}
local counted = 0
for _,v in pairs(children) do
if v.Name == "ball name here" then
counted = counted + 1
table.insert(balls,counted,v)
end
end
