I created a script that is supposed to clone wheat, it is in replicated storage.

Script:

1print("works on line 1")
2local Wheat = game.ReplicatedStorage.Farm.Wheat:Clone(); print("works on line 2")
3Wheat.Parent = game.Workspace; print("works on line 3")
4script:Destroy(); print("works on line 4")
5print("works on line 5")

and it didnt even print on line 1, sorry about this, I never did lua in a while.

this is now how it looks like

01local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
02local Farm = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Farm")
03local Wheat = Farm:WaitForChild("Wheat")
04 
05local xpos = -161.75
06local zpos = 48.375
07local Count = 0
08local Count2 = 0
09local ifyethappend = true
10 
11while Count < 32 do
12    local WheatClone = Wheat:Clone()
13    WheatClone.Parent = game.Workspace
14    WheatClone.Name = "Wheat"
15    WheatClone.Position = Vector3.new(WheatClone.Position.x, WheatClone.Position.y, zpos)
16    while Count2 < 32 do
17        local WheatClone2 = WheatClone:Clone()
18        WheatClone2.Parent = game.Workspace
19        WheatClone2.Name = "Wheat"
20        if ifyethappend == true then
21            WheatClone2.Position = Vector3.new(xpos, WheatClone.Position.y, WheatClone.Position.z)
22            ifyethappend = false
23        else
24            WheatClone2.Position = Vector3.new(xpos, WheatClone2.Position.y, WheatClone2.Position.z)
25        end
26 
27        xpos = xpos - 3
28        Count2 = Count2 + 1
29        if Count2 == 31 then
30            ifyethappend = true
31        end
32    end
33    xpos = -161.75
34    zpos = zpos - 3
35    Count = Count + 1
36    Count2 = 0
37end

39local Count = 0

I wrote this exact script into my game just with parts and it worked fine, even placed the part into workspace.

The issue seems to be that you either are trying to get the replicatedstorage.Farm before Farm is actually in the storage or there simply is no such thing as Farm located in replicated storage.

Make sure you place this script into ServerScriptService

1local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
2local Farm = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Farm")
3local Wheat = Farm:WaitForChild("Wheat")
4local WheatClone = Wheat:Clone()
5Wheat.Parent = game.Workspace 
6script:Destroy()

Now, since I don't exactly know your issue I placed a few (Maybe) unnecessary "WaitForChild"s.

Make sure this script is in ServerScriptService and also make sure you actually have Farm and wheat in the correct places!

ohhhhhh. XD I forgot to do wait for child. Thank you so much! xxaxxaz 42 — 3y

btw, Local Farm = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Wheat") instead xxaxxaz 42 — 3y

nvm, it didnt work xxaxxaz 42 — 3y

Are you sure you have the script in the right location and actually have the two parts or models in replicated storage? tightanfall 110 — 3y

the first part is a model named "Farm", inside there is the Wheat block. xxaxxaz 42 — 3y

and if it helps, this script is also inside of the model xxaxxaz 42 — 3y

yes xxaxxaz 42 — 3y

I just replaced the model with a folder xxaxxaz 42 — 3y

I would make sure that the wheat block is already in the correct position in the workspace before placing into the folder. that way it will clone to the same position tightanfall 110 — 3y

it ends up, the script was being skiped because it was in replicated storage, now on I will leave it in server script service.

I said that in my answer but ok tightanfall 110 — 3y
