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?
1 | local Fire = game.ServerStorage.Parts:GetChildren() -- NEED TO GET CHILDREN FROM INSIDE THIS MODEL |
2 | local firecopy = Fire:Clone() |
3 |
4 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
5 | player.CanLoadCharacterAppearance = false |
6 | wait() |
7 | firecopy.Parent = player.Character |
8 | 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:
1 | local a = model:GetChildren() |
2 | -- 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:
1 | local Fire = game.ServerStorage.Parts |
2 |
3 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
4 | player.CanLoadCharacterAppearance = false |
5 | wait() |
6 | for i,v in pairs(Fire:GetChildren()) do -- iterates through all of its children |
7 | v:clone().Parent = player.Character -- clones it and puts it in the player's character |
8 | end |
9 | end) |

01 | local Fire = game.ServerStorage.Parts:GetChildren() -- NEED TO GET CHILDREN FROM INSIDE THIS MODEL |
02 | for i = 1, #Fire do |
03 | local firecopy = Fire[i]:Clone() |
04 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
05 | player.CanLoadCharacterAppearance = false |
06 | wait() |
07 | firecopy.Parent = player.Character |
08 | end |
09 | end) |

Always try add an explanation to help the person. Posting code will make the person not understand what they did wrong. TheHospitalDev 1134 — 9y
