Plugin search through EVERY descendant of EVERY descendant and removing certain names?
What I've done is made ONE plugin that makes the shadows into descendants, but I don't know how to remove them again...
Making
--That button and Toolbar stuff
button.Click:connect(function()
button.Click:connect(function()
A = game.Workspace:GetChildren()
for i,v in pairs(A) do
if v.ClassName == "Model" then
human = Instance.new("Humanoid")
human.Parent = v
human.Name = "Shadow"
human.DisplayDistanceType = "None"
elseif v.ClassName == "Union" then
human = Instance.new("Humanoid")
human.Parent = v
human.Name = "Shadow"
human.DisplayDistanceType = "None"
end
end
end)
My attempt at removing
--Toolbar and Button stuff
button.Click:connect(function()
A = game.Workspace:GetChildren()
for i,v in pairs(A) do
if v.ClassName == "Humanoid" and v.Name == "Shadow" then
v:remove()
end
end
end)
Note The Maker does not also go through each descendant, which I also need help with.

Based on your orignal code you're adding 'Shadows' to models and unions who are children of workspace, but I see you want to apply this to all descendants of workspace. An easy way to do that is to write a recursive function.
button.Click:Connect(function()
function addShadow(obj)
for i,v in pairs(obj:GetChildren())
if v:IsA("Union") or v:IsA("Model") then
local human = Instance.new("Humanoid")
human.Name = "Shadow"
human.DisplayDistanceType = "None"
human.Parent = v
end
addShadow(v) --function calls itself on children of obj making it recursive.
end
end
addShadow(workspace)
end)
-- and then to remove what we added
button.Click:Connect(function()
function removeShadow(obj)
for i,v in pairs(obj:GetChildren())
if v.Name == "Shadow" and v:IsA("Humanoid") then
v:Destroy()
end
removeShadow(v)
end
end
removeShadow(workspace)
end)
