So, I'm trying to tell a whole bunch of objects to enable the ParticleEmitter and instead of individually calling out each object's name, I decided to use GetChildren(). My simple script is as follows..

local Cannons = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.ConfC:GetChildren()

function onClicked()
	for c = 1, #Cannons do
		Cannons[c].Con.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = true
	end
	wait(0.5)
	for c = 1, #Cannons do
		Cannons[c].Con.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = false
	end
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(onClicked)

My output error when I try to figure out what's going on comes out as: http://prnt.sc/b8i65e (follow the link to see the picture of my output) Here's also a picture of my explorer in-case someone spots that I did something wrong there: http://prnt.sc/b8i4st

My guess is that I'm simply forgetting to name something or that I'm using GetChildren() wrong. Can someone help solve my predicament?

Double check that every "Cannon" model does indeed have a thing called "Con" in it (and no typos--e.g., no spaces after the "n")

Have an if statement prior to enabling and disabling cannon particles that will check if there is a part named Con in the cannon and that it is actually a model. Ex: if Cannons[c].ClassName == "Model" and Cannons[c]:FindFirstChild("Con") then

I'll check

It appears that one of the tricky blocks wasn't named Con, I'll make sure that this fixed my issue.
