My NeonWindow script isnt searching through all descendants?
This is my glass window script, it searches for all the parts called NeonWindow and then turns it from glass to Neon material at 19:00:00, and then Neon to glass at 07:00:00. Not ever NeonWindow part does this...I'm assuming this is because I'm not searching through all the descendants.
How would I do this, and if my assumption is wrong what else should I do instead.
while wait() do
if game.Lighting.TimeOfDay > "19:00:00" then
for _, glass in pairs (game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
if glass.Name == "NeonWindow" then
glass.Material = 288
elseif glass.Name ~= "NeonWindow" then
for _, glass2 in pairs (glass:GetChildren()) do
if glass2.Name == "NeonWindow" then
glass2.Material = 288
end
end
end
end
elseif game.Lighting.TimeOfDay "07:00:00" then
for _, glass in pairs (game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
if glass.Name == "NeonWindow" then
glass.Material = 1536
elseif glass.Name ~= "NeonWindow" then
for _, glass2 in pairs (glass:GetChildren()) do
if glass2.Name == "NeonWindow" then
glass2.Material = 1536
end
end
end
end
end
end

I'm terrible at explaining, but this will cycle through all children and do stuff based on their name. Hope this works. :)
function checkDecendants(parent, enabled)
for i, v in pairs(parent:GetChildren()) do
if #v:GetChildren() > 0 then
checkDecendants(v)
end
if v.Name == "NeonWindow" then
if enabled then
v.Material = 288
else
v.Material = 1536
end
end
end
end
local windowSet = game.Workspace
game.Lighting.Changed:connect(function()
if game.Lighting.TimeOfDay == "19:00:00" then
checkDecendants(windowSet, true)
elseif game.Lighting.TimeOfDay == "07:00:00" then
checkDecendants(windowSet, false)
end
end)
