Unexpected error when using pairs?
I have a script which, when a part is added to the workspace it'll be destroyed. But, whenever a part is added into the workspace I get this error, in orange; Something unexpectedly tried to set the parent of Part to NULL while trying to set the parent of Part. Current parent is Workspace.
Here is my code;
game.Workspace.DescendantAdded:connect(function()
for _, v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name == "Part" and v:IsA("Part") then
v:Destroy()
end
end
end)
Any help is appreciated! Thanks! `

It is better to use v:IsA("BasePart"), since that'll include all Parts. soved 69 — 7y

Add a wait() right after the function.
This error happens because you want to set the parent of something while the parent is being set.
game.Workspace.DescendantAdded:Connect(function()
wait()
for _, v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name == "Part" and v:IsA("Part") then
v:Destroy()
end
end
end)
Also, im not sure why you use DescendantAdded if you're just going to clear out just the top layer from the workspace, and not the descendants. I suppose you want to use the DescendantAdded to find whatever is added. Use this instead:
game.Workspace.DescendantAdded:Connect(function(Object)
wait()
if Object.Name == "Part" and Object:IsA("Part") then
v:Destroy()
end
end)
