local names = {'piranha'}
local currentFound = {}
function find(name) --See if it the name is in the table
    for i,v in pairs(names) do
        if name == v:lower() then
            return true
        end
    end
end
function getModelsToRegen(start) --get all of the piranhas.
    start = start or Workspace
    for i,v in pairs(start) do
        currentFound[#currentFound+1] = find(v.Name:lower) and v or nil --Put it in the table if it has the right name.
        getModelsToRegen(v)
    end
end
getModelsToRegen()
for i,v in pairs(currentFound) do
    currentFound[i] = {[1] = v:Clone(), [2] = v} 
end
Game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player) --When the Player joins.
    Player.Chatted:connect(function(Message) --When they chat
        if Message:lower() == 'regenpiranhas' then --If they said 'regenpiranhas'
            for i,v in pairs(currentFound) do --Regen the piranhas
                v[2]:Destroy()
                v[1].Parent = Workspace
                v[1]:MakeJoints()
             end
            currentFound = {}
            getModelsToRegen()
            for i,v in pairs(currentFound) do
                currentFound[i] = {[1] = v:Clone(), [2] = v}
            end
        end
end

Untested.

Well, an inefficient way of doing it would be to make more variables for the models and copy and paste a lot.

A better way would be to have the names of the models in a table, and loop it with :FindFirstChild ()

You would take the script and multiply it.

Copy and paste is that means, Copy and paste it to how many players there are in the game. So if it is 6 people, you would copy and paste it 6 times.
