What I mean is, is there a way to instead of having a script in a lava brick and copying it to other places I might want can I instead have one single script where it detects if it's touched.
like this
brick -script brick -script brick -script brick -script
is that a way to reduce this like:
brick brick brick brick Script(PARENT IS WORKSPACE)
You can put all of your lava parts in one model and do like this in one script:
for i,v in next,Workspace.LavaParts:GetChildren() do
v.Touched:connect(function(hit)
--your code
end)
end
Yup! In fact, I even think this is better in terms of efficiency and CPU usage. But let's not get technical and let's answer your question.
function CreateLavabrick()
local new = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
new.Name = "Laval"
new.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red()
new.Anchored = true
new.Touched:connect(function(p)
if p.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
p.Parent.Humanoid.Health = -1
end
end)
return new
end
-- For example, create 100 lava bricks and move them to a random location!
for i = 1, 100 do
local lava = CreateLavabrick()
lava.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(math.random(-100,100), 2, math.random(-100,100))
end

ahh okay, but im a little confused what the 'next ' is?
It basically just iterates through everything inside of the table, and the :GetChildren() method creates a table of all of the children of a model.
why not just do pairs? isnt it the same? dont get me wrong, i like the answer just questioning the difference between these two commands.
pairs actually uses next, so it's more efficient to use next.
