So I'm trying to make a script that counts the amount of parts in the game.
I made this simple script
local parts = game.Workspace:GetChildren()
print(parts)
Since I'm new to using Tables and stuff, the output came out with this:
table: 17CC8988
Is there any way to get the number of how many of them is in? I'm planning on making a Gui that counts how many are left.
Well, to get the number of elements in a table, you must you #Table, which returns highest numerical index in a table.
Also, to get only parts, you must do instance:isA'BasePart', with BasePart meaning all part classes.
Example script:
local Parts={};--// Table to contain parts.
for _,Object in next,workspace:children()do
if(Object:isA'BasePart')then--// Gets all part instances.
table.insert(Parts,Object);--// Puts the parts in a part table.
end;
end;
print(string.format('Number of parts in the Workspace: %d',#Parts));--// Prints the amount of parts.
If you wanted to get every part in the workspace, even parts that are in models, you would have to use recursion.
Example #2:
local Parts do
local Recursion;Recursion=function(Object)
local Children={};
for _,Child in next,Object:children()do
if(Child:isA'BasePart')then
table.insert(Children,Child);
end;
for _,Descendant in next,Recursion(Child)do--// Gets all the descendants.
table.insert(Children,Descendant);
end;
end;
return(Children);
end;
Parts=Recursion(workspace);
end;
print(string.format('Number of parts in the Workspace: %d',#Parts));--// Prints the amount of parts.
If you want to make a list of all the parts that are named a certain string, just have a table for containing them.
Example #3:
local Parts={};
do
local Recursion;Recursion=function(Object)
local Children={};
for _,Child in next,Object:children()do
if(Child:isA'BasePart')then
table.insert(Children,Child);
end;
for _,Descendant in next,Recursion(Child)do--// Gets all the descendants.
table.insert(Children,Descendant);
end;
end;
return(Children);
end;
for _,Part in next,Recursion(workspace)do
Parts[Part.Name]=Parts[Part.Name]or {};
table.insert(Parts[Part.Name],Part);
end;
end;
for PartName,arrayOfParts in next,Parts do
print(string.format('Number of parts named %s in the Workspace: %d',PartName,#arrayOfParts));
end;
local parts = game.Workspace:GetChildren()
for i=1, #parts do
if (parts[i].className == "Part") then
print(#parts)
end
end
Use the number sign behind the parts when you print. And also do
for i=1, #parts do
if (parts[i].className == "Part") then
To check if the thing in Workspace is a part.
Use :IsA("BasePart") or :IsA("Part") instead of checking ClassName! It's much clearer and shorter (and deals with subtypes like WedgePart, SpawnLocation, etc when using BasePart)
@Blue Okay thanks.
Um, this did some weird stuff, When there was one part named "Part" the Putput said 5, 5. When I put 2 parts, it said 6, 6, 6, when I put 3 prts, it put 7,7,7,7. nut sure whats going on or what it's printing
It's because the script is looping.

It works, Is there any way to see how many are left of a Specific Name of Part?
Yes, I'll edit my answer right now.
