Loop script not working?
This script seems to work fine when I put it into the developer console. When I just put the script, save it, and play the game, the script doesn't remove the "UFO."
for k,v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name == 'UFO' then
v:Destroy()
end
end

The script is correct, however it'll only run once, when the game is started. If you want it to constantly remove all objects named UFO, you should put it in a while loop!
while wait() do
for k,v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name == 'UFO' then
v:Destroy();
end;
end;
end

You did manage to make it run forever but "UFO" can still be in workspace and it doesn't get removed. Precisionly 103 — 8y

@precisionly Try removing the ;, Lua doesn't need them Shawnyg 4330 — 8y

I instead added while true do and it works fine now. Precisionly 103 — 8y

I'd like to mention this is extremely inefficient, you're looping through every object in the workspace hundreds of times a second. Nauseating 125 — 8y

@Nauseating I did what he asked for, never said it was efficient. Shawnyg 4330 — 8y
