Why my function return just one part? (for _, v in pairs() do)
So, I want that "findSmoke" find all part named "SmokePart" and return all it to NPC_Module.Smoke but this return juste one part, why and how to correctly fix this? Thank for answers and the explanations:)
01 | function findSmoke(character) |
02 | for _, v in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do |
03 | if v:IsA('Part') and v.Name == 'SmokePart' then |
04 | return v |
05 | end |
06 | end |
07 | end |
08 |
09 | function NPC_Module.Smoke(humanoid, character) |
10 | local smoke = findSmoke(character) |
11 | if humanoid.Health < 40 then |
12 | smoke.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = true |
13 | elseif humanoid.Health >= 40 then |
14 | smoke.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = false |
15 | end |
16 | end |

In this case, return statements end the function by returning a value. Instead of returning the first smoke it finds, try adding it to a table. Then after the loop has finished, return the table.
01 | function findSmoke(character) |
02 | local smokes = {} |
03 | for _, v in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do |
04 | if v:IsA('Part') and v.Name == 'SmokePart' then |
05 | table.insert(smokes, v) |
06 | end |
07 | end |
08 | return smokes |
09 | end |
10 |
11 | function NPC_Module.Smoke(humanoid, character) |
12 | local allSmoke = findSmoke(character) |
13 | if humanoid.Health < 40 then |
14 | for i, smoke in pairs(allSmoke) do |
15 | smoke.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = true |

I didn't test this for bugs, but this should work.
