How do I control multiple models of SAME NAME with script?

Hello everyone. I have a script t activate multiple emergency lights upon pressing a button. The problem is that only one turns on. It toggles the on and off, which I was surprised I could write in one try, but the other several lights (more will exist in the future) are not doing anything. Here is the directory:

[SCRIPT]>>Button>>Controls>>EmergencyLights<<Emergency Light(MULTIPLE)

Here is the script:

function onClicked() if script.Parent.Parent.Parent.EmergencyLight.Toggle.Value == true then script.Parent.Parent.Parent.EmergencyLight.Toggle.Value = false else script.Parent.Parent.Parent.EmergencyLight.Toggle.Value = true end end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

The script has three parents, the first is the part(button), the second is controls(Group of parts that make up a panel that controls other stuff), and the third is the main group, which contains the lights and controls. The object called "Toggle" is a true/false value that decides whether the light(s) is on. If anyone knows how to tell my script to toggle all of the lights please tell me!

I really wish that this website recognized the line breaks... PhilipJonnyBob12 5 — 8y

It does. Use code blocks. Edit your post to use a code block. BlueTaslem 18071 — 8y

If you want breaks between other text, use a double line break in the text area. This is standard markdown format. BlueTaslem 18071 — 8y

function onClicked() 
if script.Parent.Parent.Parent.EmergencyLight.Toggle.Value == true then script.Parent.Parent.Parent.EmergencyLight.Toggle.Value = false 
else
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.EmergencyLight.Toggle.Value = true 
end 
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

to turn them all on:

Local LightModel = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
function onClicked() 
if script.Parent.Parent.Parent.EmergencyLight.Toggle.Value == true then 
for k,v in pairs(LightModel:GetChildren()) do
v.Toggle.Value = false
end
else
for k,v in pairs(LightModel:GetChildren()) do
v.Toggle.Value = true
end
end 
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

should be right, but you might want to change the paths. Essentially, it iterates through the model's parts and changes the value you want.

Thank you, but now none are turning on. I'll try to change the paths PhilipJonnyBob12 5 — 8y

Okay I got it to work. the "Local" at the very top needed to have the L lowercased... LOL but yeah now they all turn on you are genius PhilipJonnyBob12 5 — 8y

Whatever you are defining "On" as, either a light being enabled or a material changing to Neon, that what needs to be in place of v.Toggle.Value = true Edenojack 171 — 8y
