Created Instance wont destroy NewInstances? "TextButton.LocalScript attempt to call a nil value?"
It has something to do with line 17 - 20 with the error of "Players.snipperdiaper.PlayerGui. NewInstances!.TextButton.LocalScript:20: attempt to call a nil value"
local Button = script.Parent
local Spawning = false
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if Spawning then
while true do
wait(0.2)
local NewPart = Instance.new("Part")
Spawning = true
NewPart.Name = "NewDestruction"
NewPart.Parent = workspace
end
else
Spawning = false
local DestroyP = game.Workspace:GetChildren("NewDestruction")
DestroyP:Destroy()
end
end)
-Thanks in advance, snipperdiaper

Fixed code:
local Button = script.Parent
local Spawning = false
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if Spawning then
while true do
wait(0.2)
local NewPart = Instance.new("Part")
Spawning = true
NewPart.Name = "NewDestruction"
NewPart.Parent = workspace
end
else
local DestroyP = workspace:GetChildren()
for index, value in ipairs(DestroyP) do
if value.Name == "NewDestruction" and value:IsA("Part") then
value:Destroy()
end
end
end
end)
line 14: :GetChildren() will return a table specifically an array.
line 15: ipairs is used for arrays, and pairs is used for dictionaries.
line 16:A sanity check to check if value has a name "NewDestruction" and checks if it's a Part.
line 17: It'll run some code for each iteration of the array which is :Destroy().
I'm curious what you're trying to do because the while loop will loop forever yielding the current thread.

The reason is because GetChildren() doesn't take any parameters. If you wanted to delete everything in a model, you could either delete the whole model, or iterate through the model's children.
This is how you would do the second option.
local model = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("NewDestruction")
if model then
for i, part in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do
part:Destroy()
end
end
Hope this helps
