How would I give a certain object to all of something's children? For example I have an intvalue which I need to give to two children of a model. I know that I could put it in a loop that goes twice to clone it, make sure that the randomly selected one doesnt have it, give it , and give it to the other one if it does have it. This seems inefficient and i was wondering if that was a much faster way that works with more then two children too.

An easy and efficient way to do what you want to do, as well as ensure that no duplicate math.random's occur, is to just remove the table entry when it's selected since the table.remove function returns the value that is removed(shown on line 7);
local intvalue = script.Parent.IntValue --Your intvalue
local model = script.Parent.Model --Your model
function giveTo(noc) --Parameter noc = Number of Children
local children = model:GetChildren();
for i = 1,c do --For every noc given
local child = table.remove(children,i);
--ensure it doesn't already own it
if not child:FindFirstChild("IntValue") then
--if it doesn't, give it one
intvalue:Clone().Parent = child
end
end
end
--Usage;
giveTo(2);
--This gives 2 children of 'model' 1 'intvalue' if they don't own it
