Regen Dilemma, can it be fixed?

Asked by 9 years ago
 I have a new vehicle regen that is designed  not to regen the vehicle if the vehicle is in use. However, when the vehicle is legitimately regenned the vehicle disintegrates to its most basic parts. How can I fix this so the vehicle can be regenned to its original structure rather than fall apart? Here is a copy of the regen script.
local Vehicle = script.Parent.Vehicle:Clone()

for i, v in pairs(Vehicle:GetChildren()) do
    if v:IsA("Script") then
        v.Disabled = true
    end
end
local CurrentVehicle = script.Parent.Vehicle

local Regen = script.Parent.Regen
local ClickDetector = Regen.ClickDetector
local Display = Regen.Display.Label

local InUse = false
local Debounce = false

function UpdateUse()
    Display.Text = Debounce and "REGENERATING" or InUse and "VEHICLE IS IN USE" or "REGEN"
end

function HandleVehicle(vehicle)
    InUse = false
    local seats = {}

    local function CheckUse()
        local used = false
        for i, v in pairs(seats) do
            if v then
                used = true
            end
        end
        InUse = used
        UpdateUse()
    end

    local function GetAllSeats(vehicle)
        for i, v in pairs(vehicle:GetChildren()) do
            if v:IsA("VehicleSeat") or v:IsA("Seat") then
                table.insert(seats, false)
                local id = #seats
                v.ChildAdded:connect(function(child)
                    if child.Name == "SeatWeld" then
                        seats[id] = true
                        CheckUse()
                    end
                end)
                v.ChildRemoved:connect(function(child)
                    if child.Name == "SeatWeld" then
                        seats[id] = false
                        CheckUse()
                    end
                end)
            elseif v:IsA("Model") then
                GetAllSeats(v)
            end
        end
    end
    GetAllSeats(vehicle)
end

HandleVehicle(script.Parent.Vehicle)

ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function()
    if not InUse and not Debounce then
        Debounce = true
        UpdateUse()
        CurrentVehicle:Destroy()
        CurrentVehicle = Vehicle:Clone()
        CurrentVehicle.Parent = Workspace
        for i, v in pairs(CurrentVehicle:GetChildren()) do
            if v:IsA("Script") then
                Delay(0.1, function()
                    v.Disabled = false
                end)
            end
        end
        HandleVehicle(CurrentVehicle)
        wait(5)     
        Debounce = false
        UpdateUse()
    end
end)
 Currently, I use the old person299 regen. Besides the fact that the vehicle can be regened right out from under you, the regen works great. Here is a copy of the person299 script if it can help.
--Edited Button Regen Script by Person299
system = script.Parent
local c  = system:GetChildren()
for i = 1,#c do
a = c[i]
if a.Name ~= "person299" then
if a.Name ~= "put in only 1 model" then
model = a
end
end
end
backup = model:Clone()
regen = system:findFirstChild("put in only 1 model")
function checkRegen()
if regen.Value == 1 then
if(model.Parent == system) then
model:Remove()
wait(1)
end
model = backup:Clone()
model.Parent = system
model:MakeJoints()
end
end
regen.Changed:connect(checkRegen)

The joints for the vehicle is not connecting when regened.

To make it connect, use the :MakeJoints() method (as shown on Person299's script on line 22) on your model.

ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function()
    if not InUse and not Debounce then
        Debounce = true
        UpdateUse()
        CurrentVehicle:Destroy()
        CurrentVehicle = Vehicle:Clone()
        CurrentVehicle.Parent = Workspace
    CurrentVehicle:MakeJoints()             -- CurrentVehicle connects its joints at this point
        for i, v in pairs(CurrentVehicle:GetChildren()) do
            if v:IsA("Script") then
                Delay(0.1, function()
                    v.Disabled = false
                end)
            end
        end
        HandleVehicle(CurrentVehicle)
        wait(5)     
        Debounce = false
        UpdateUse()
    end
end)

Thank you Redbullusa, It works! In my small scale tests it functions just as well as Person299, time to implement it full scale! I’m also a little annoying because I was so close to fixing it myself. Before I posted this help request I made the very same modification but on line 69 as opposed to line 70 :S RobloxBossk 20 — 9y

You can't compare "and" to a string, it doesn't know what the string means.
