function checksamount()
for _,snipers in pairs(workspace:GetChildren())do
if snipers.Name == "Soldier3" and snipers:FindFirstChild("Owner") and snipers.Owner.Value == player then
return #snipers
end
end
end
So from the for loop, I fetch the children of workspace. Then I filter all of the children through the if statement to get every object called soldier3. Now I end up with a variable with all of the soldier3's. How do I get the number of soldier3's in the variable?
From what I can tell, you're trying to find the number of instances in 'workspace' that meet the conditions in the if block. You can do this by using a local variable to count them.
function checksamount()
local snipersNum = 0
for _,snipers in pairs(workspace:GetChildren())do
if snipers.Name == "Soldier3" and snipers:FindFirstChild("Owner") and snipers.Owner.Value == player then
snipersNum = snipersNum + 1
end
end
return snipersNum
end
Putting a return statement in the if block will end the function as soon as the condition is met by one of the children, even if the loop is not complete.
thanks!!! ^.^
function checksamount()
for _,snipers in pairs(workspace:GetChildren())do
if snipers.Name == "Soldier3" and snipers:FindFirstChild("Owner") and snipers.Owner.Value == player then
local pat = "%d+"
return tonumber((snipers.Name):match(pat))
end
end
end
it uses a String Pattern to find the last numbers at the end and make them into a number. Goodluck :D
