Cloning an Objects Children? [Script Included]
function CloneAllChildren(OldPar, NewPar) for _,v in ipairs(OldPar) do v:Clone().Parent = NewPar end end CloneAllChildren(Workspace.Model, Workspace)
would that work like that? (even though am doing something else)...

This is how you do it.
local Children = {} -- leave this empty
function Copy(Parent) -- Parent is the object that you want to get all of the child
for i, object in pairs(Parent:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(Children, object)
end
end
function Paste(Parent) -- Parent here is the parent you want to paste to
for i, child in ipairs(Children) do
child.Parent = Parent
table.remove(Children, i)
end
end
Copy(Workspace.Model)
Paste(Workspace)

Um, I don't believe the variable "v" was necessarily designed as a part/model so it wouldn't be able to be "cloned." Therefore, it wouldn't work regardless. I also am not sure why "CloneAllChildren" is down on the bottom.
It's just pretty confusing. I'd say that script is both beyond repairing and nil.

People, CALM DOWN. It only takes a few lines goddamnit. e_o You dont need all of that 17 line stuff ._.
function CloneAllChildren(OldPar, NewPar)
for i,v in pairs(OldPar:GetChildren()) do
v:Clone().Parent = NewPar
wait()
end
end
CloneAllChildren(Workspace.Model, Workspace)
This'll work as long as the destinations are valid.
