GetChildren method help?
This is part of a script I'm making, it it SUPPOSED to turn lights off when the power goes off. Here is the script:
1 | local p = game.Workspace.Lighting:GetChildren() |
2 | for i = 1,#p do |
3 | p.PointLight.Enabled = false |
4 | end |
However, this doesn't work. Help?

First, make sure that every instance in workspace.Lighting contains a PointLight. If your script encounters one that does not, it will fail. Also, you may want it to be a recursive function in case the light isn't located directly inside the object in Lighting.
This code will loop through every instance in workspace.Lighting and turn off any PointLights:
1 | function LightsOff(Instance) |
2 | for i,v in pairs(Instance:GetChildren()) do |
3 | if v:IsA("PointLight") then v.Enabled=false end |
4 | LightsOff(v) |
5 | end |
6 | end |

8 | LightsOff(workspace.Lighting) |
