Making a table and retrieving and deleting objects?

Asked 174 views1 answers

I made a table which includes weapons. When the parent of this script is clicked, I want to remove these tool(s) if they are present inside of the player in workspace. When I press the button, nothing happens. I'm new to tables so help would be appreciated. 

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character


function onClick()
local weapons = {
	[character.M14] = "M14",  
	[character.G36K] = "G36K",
	[character.Patriot] = "Patriot",
}

if character:FindFirstChild(weapons) then
	weapons:Destroy()
end
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(onClick)

The only way that I can think of is actually listing all of the weapons as different variables, but that will take too long.

You are already calling the character from the table as well as outside of the table, which causes it to be very confusing.

Maybe try this.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character


function onClick()
  local weapons = {
   	"M14",  
   	"G36K",
	"Patriot",
  }

for i=1, #weapons do
    local item = character:FindFirstChild(weapons[i])
  	if item then
    	item:Destroy()
  	end
  end
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(onClick)
