How to check if something exists?
So I'm trying to make a simple tycoon as practice for scripting. What I'm basically trying to do is make a tycoon button that appears only when another tycoon button is pressed and disappears. When I test this script out, both buttons appear and work fine, but I only want one of them at first, and then the other after I press on that one. The line I added to try and check to see if something exists is line 1. Thank you for the help and sorry for the mess of the script
if script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Products:findFirstChild("Conveyor") then
repeat wait() until script.Parent.Product.Value~=nil
local product=script.Parent.Product.Value:clone()
script.Parent.Product.Value:remove()
local price=script.Parent.Price.Value
script.Parent.Name=script.Parent.ProductName.Value.." - "..price
if price==0 then
script.Parent.Name=script.Parent.ProductName.Value.." - Free!"
end
script.Parent.Head.Touched:connect(function(hit)
chr=hit.Parent
if chr:findFirstChild("Humanoid") and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(chr) then
plr=game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(chr)
if plr.Name==script.Parent.Parent.Parent.OwnerName.Value and plr.leaderstats.Money.Value>=price then
plr.leaderstats.Money.Value=plr.leaderstats.Money.Value-price
product.Parent=script.Parent.Parent.Parent
script.Parent:remove()
end
end
end)
end
-------------------------
--Background info
--script.Parent is the button
--script.Parent.Parent is a model of all the buttons
--script.Parent.Parent.Parent is the whole tycoon model
--script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Products is a model of all the products that the buttons buy

What about using one script that handles all the buttons. Create all your buttons and have it clone and destroy the buttons you don't want to show yet.
When a button is pressed and the player has enough money the clone you created of the next button would be re-added to the model/workspace.
assuming that all your buttons are in a model and the script is in the model
local B = script.Parent.ButtonB:clone()
script.Parent.ButtonB:Destroy()
For example
when ButtonB is touched (This is the function)
if the player has enough money ( your if statement)
your code (whatever you want you code to do when the player has enough money)
set clone B's parent to model (Now re-add button b to model)
destroy ButtonA (remove button a from model)
(else statement for when player doesn't have enough money)
Hope this helps.
