How do i prevent myself from continually defining several variables that are the exact same code?
an example of my problem is i keep ending up with my scripts starting like this
1 | local model = game.Workspace.model |
2 | local partA = model.partA |
3 | local partB = model.partB |
4 | local partC = model.partC |
and i keep having to repeat that for several lines of code.

You could condense it to one script, use global variables (not recommended), or use a loop to do what you want to every member of the model, as shown by Timser. GoldenPhysics 474 — 10y

To do this you would use the :GetChildren() method which returns all the Children of that place as a table, and then use in pairs() to have use this table, as so:
1 | Variable = game.Workspace:GetChildren() |
2 |
3 | for Table,Index in pairs(Variable) do |
4 | if Index:IsA("Part") then |
5 | Index.Transparency = 0 |
6 | end |
7 | end |

The names for your variables are really bad. It should be `for index, key in pairs(tab) do`. Though in practice, it should probably be `for _, part in pairs(children) do`. BlueTaslem 18071 — 10y

I thought that the variable before the comma represented the Table, and the variable after the comma represented that part of the Table until it reaches the end, the Index. But hey, anyone can be wrong! Shrekerly 70 — 10y

1 | for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace.model:GetChildren()) do |
2 | v.Transparency = 1 -- example of code |
3 | end |
