How to Get Children?
How could I get all the children from inside a model together so I don't have to make a variable for each body part?
local Fire = game.ServerStorage.Parts:GetChildren() -- NEED TO GET CHILDREN FROM INSIDE THIS MODEL
local firecopy = Fire:Clone()
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.CanLoadCharacterAppearance = false
wait()
firecopy.Parent = player.Character
end)
The error is occurring on the first line because I can't select all the children to clone. Part is a model in server storage with package parts. Thanks.

Nice try! When you use GetChildren, it practically returns a table, filled with all of the 'children' as its values. Ex:
local a = model:GetChildren()
-- Above would look like: {Apple, Button}
To 'break' the table, you'll need to use a generic or numeric for loop, but in this case, is a generic for loop. I'll show you:
local Fire = game.ServerStorage.Parts
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.CanLoadCharacterAppearance = false
wait()
for i,v in pairs(Fire:GetChildren()) do -- iterates through all of its children
v:clone().Parent = player.Character -- clones it and puts it in the player's character
end
end)

local Fire = game.ServerStorage.Parts:GetChildren() -- NEED TO GET CHILDREN FROM INSIDE THIS MODEL
for i = 1, #Fire do
local firecopy = Fire[i]:Clone()
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.CanLoadCharacterAppearance = false
wait()
firecopy.Parent = player.Character
end
end)
--That's what my guess would be?

Always try add an explanation to help the person. Posting code will make the person not understand what they did wrong. TheHospitalDev 1134 — 8y
