How can you have a variable at the end when trying to locate something?

for i = 100, 0, -1 do
            if script.Parent.Parent.Name == 'Signal'..i then
                i = i - 1
                game.Workspace.Signal[i].Yellow = 0
                game.Workspace.Signal[i].Green = 0.7
                i = i - 1
                game.Workspace.Signal[i].Yellow = 0.8
                game.Workspace.Signal[i].Green = 0
            end
        end

How do you make it so that you can find something with i as a number? I'm getting this error: 15:26:34.594 - Signal is not a valid member of Workspace

It's the line after the for i = that is having the problem.

I'm going to assume that you're trying to do something with children of the workspace named SignalX, where X is a number. In that case, you should replace:

game.Workspace.Signal[i].Yellow = 0

for example, with this:

game.Workspace["Signal".. i].Yellow = 0

This means that it will add the value of i to the end of "Signal", then get the object with that name.

Apologies if I've got the context of the problem incorrect.
