so guys, I have a save script, it works perfect.. vars and all are perfect but, in my replicated storage, i made a section where characters are. The characters name is why I made the script.

so far this is what i am trying to do, 2 scripts..

local a = game.Players.LocalPlayer.SaveMonsters
if script.Parent.Name == a:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Name) then
    local b = a:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Name)
    c = script.Parent:Clone(a.Value)
    c.Parent = game.Workspace
end

this is for the the item to match its int name...

then comes this to add value to my save script value

while true do
    wait()
    if script.Parent.Parent == game.Workspace then
        if script.Parent.Name == game.Players.LocalPlayer.SaveMonsters:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Name) then
            a = game.Players.LocalPlayer.SaveMonsters:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Name)
            a.Value = a.Value + 1
            script:Destroy()
        end
    end
    if script.Parent.Parent == game.Workspace.Monsters then
        if script.Parent.Name == game.Players.LocalPlayer.SaveMonsters:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Name) then
            a = game.Players.LocalPlayer.SaveMonsters:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Name)
            a.Value = a.Value + 1
            script:Destroy()
        end
    end
end

with this I am suppose to make a monsters name from the replicated storage math its name found in the save script then clone the monster and place it in workspace. how would I do this? this is really hard i would LOVE some feedback, please help!

Why is your second script repeating the same thing except the second portion has `game.Workspace.Monsters` from the previous `game.Workspace`? SocialENTRcoRSE 21 — 7y

New script that is not working:

function addMonstersToGameByPlayer (player, playerMonsters)
    local tableOfMonstersRetrieved = playerMonsters:GetChildren()
    for _, v in pairs(tableOfMonstersRetrieved) do
        local potentialMatch = game.ReplicatedStorage.CharactersLevelOne:FindFirstChild(v.Name)
        if potentialMatch then
            for i = 1, v.Value do
                local c = potentialMatch:Clone()
                c.Parent = game.Workspace
            end
        end
    end 
end

I know this is over a year old what you said about accepting your own post. You can't accept your own post, unless someone else who has community moderator accepts it for you, otherwise it may have been a glitch which is uncommon. JesseSong 3916 — 3y

I don't necessarily know how to fix your issue but doesn't this look like it needs to be fixed as shown?

local a = game.Players.LocalPlayer.SaveMonsters
if script.Parent.Name == a:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Name) then
    local b = a:WaitForChild(script.Parent.Name)
    local c = script.Parent:Clone(a.Value)-- if you haven't defined the c part shouldn't you define it with a local first as shown?
    c.Parent = game.Workspace
end
