How to clone an object with it's children?

I am making a script that would clone a ball and it’s effects (children) to the workspace.


NRGremoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.nrgEvent

NRGremoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
  local NRGclone = game.ReplicatedStorage.NRGfolder.EnergyBmain:Clone()

  NRGclone.Parent = game.Workspace
  NRGclone.Position = Vector3.new(0,30,30)
end)

The thing is, that it only clones the main (EnergyBmain). It doesn’t clone it’s children which are particles and such. They’re stored in a folder (NRGfolder) and is located inside ReplicatedStorage. I’m very lost on what to do, i can’t find a way to clone the whole thing (main and children), please help. Thanks.

(on mobile rn.)

im even more lost as to why its only cloning the object and not the descendants, a variety of reasoning behind this. for example if you clone a single object on server and have its descendants on client greatneil80 2647 — 3y

NRGremoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.nrgEvent

NRGremoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
    local NRG = game.ReplicatedStorage.NRGfolder.EnergyBmain:GetChildren()
    for i, v in pairs(NRG) do
        wait()
        local NRGclone = v:Clone()
        NRGclone.Parent = game.Workspace
        NRGclone.Position = Vector3.new(0,30,30)
    end
end)

So what I did was I gathered the children, and cloned them one by one in a for in pairs() loop.
