Why won't my analyzing script work?
I am trying to make a script that will cycle through models and turn them into a certain material depending on what color it is. Right now I only have the script that will cycle through it, but it won't work. The error it gives me is " Argument 1 missing or nil." It is in a server script. This is the code:
01 | local S = game.Workspace |
02 | local T = game.ServerStorage |
03 | function cycle() |
04 | local P = S:FindFirstChild() |
05 | if P:IsA("Model") then |
06 | repeat |
07 | Parts() |
08 | until |
09 | P:FindFirstChild() == nil |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 | function Parts() |
13 | local C = P:FindFirstChild() |
14 | if C:IsA("Part")then |
15 | elseif C == nil then |
View all 46 lines...
Edit: I know it won't change the material yet since I have not coded it in yet. I am just trying to see if it will move the materials to the holding folder.

The reason this script errored is because you forgot to place the arguments in for all of the "FindFirstChild()" functions. Placing those arguments in should fix the script.
Example Code:
01 | function Scan(Object) |
02 | for i,v in pairs(Object:GetChildren())do |
03 | wait() --[[Place a wait here or else your game/studio will lag or crash depending on the amount of objects that were in you first scan.]] |
04 | if v:IsA("Part") then |
05 | --Change color, texture, etc here. |
06 | Scan(v) |
07 | else |
08 | Scan(v) |
09 | end |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 |
13 | Scan(game.Workspace) |
14 | --This script will scan though the object that you place in arg1 of the function "Scan". |
Is this what you are looking for?

Is there a way to use find first child for any name? ADeadlyGuest4 62 — 9y

Not that I know of, In this situation I think I'd use "for i,v in pairs(object:GetChildren()) do". ClassicTheBlue 65 — 9y

Here, I'll write another answer contaning the script that I'd write. ClassicTheBlue 65 — 9y

Thanks, that is a lot simpler and faster than my script. ADeadlyGuest4 62 — 9y
