how to make it where an instance is only created once if the same child name? [closed]

Asked by 7 years ago
local Weapons = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Data:WaitForChild("Inventory").Weapons:GetChildren()
             number = 0
             children = #Weapons


            for  i = 1, #Weapons do

    local new = Instance.new("TextLabel")
                new.Parent = script.Parent
                new.Position = position + UDim2.new(0,0,0,30)
                position = position + UDim2.new(0,0,0,25)
                new.Size = UDim2.new(0,200,0,10)
                new.ZIndex = 2
                new.BackgroundTransparency = 1
                new.FontSize = "Size18"
                new.Font = "SourceSans"
                new.TextXAlignment = "Left"
                new.Text = Weapons[i].Name

What exactly are you trying to do? You need to explain the problem in proper English (or at least in decent attempt of) to explain the issue and what you want fixed. "This is what i dont want it to do" doesn't necessarily help. M39a9am3R 3210 — 7y

We're not idiots, you didn't supply with enough information so we cannot help you. Calling us idiots won't help you at all. Async_io 908 — 7y
