How do you check for an item in a model without the script giving an error?[Closed]
im trying to do a check for a value inside a for loop, the answer is most likely simple but heres what i have
the error is on the "if not v.OverlapCheck then" line. it says OverlapCheck is not a valid member of model
01 | if not v.OverlapCheck then |
02 | -------------------------------------- |
03 | local checkforoverlap = Instance.new("Vector3Value") |
04 | checkforoverlap.Parent = v |
05 | checkforoverlap.Value = v.Floor.Position |
06 | checkforoverlap.Name = "OverlapCheck" |
07 | print("v has overlap checker") |
08 | --------------------------------------- |
09 | for x, overcheck in pairs(worldu:GetChildren()) do |
10 | if overcheck.OverlapCheck then |
11 | if overcheck.OverlapCheck.Value.X == v.OverlapCheck.Value.X then |
12 | if overcheck.OverlapCheck.Value.Y < v.OverlapCheck.Value.Y then |
13 | print("Overlap Found") |
14 | v:Destroy() |
15 | end |
16 | end |
17 | end |
18 | end |
19 | end |

you mean to stop the script from running until it finds the child with the name you want? you use :WaitForChild("itemnamehere") for that RobloxianDestory 262 — 8y

i figured it out, your answer wasnt it but it was close. it was actually FindFirstChild() post that as an answer and ill give you credit anyway. ace12345678135 50 — 8y

ohh. i thought you meant it didnt exist yet. which is what WaitForChild is for.
