How can I select multiple parts via scripting ?
So today I was trying to make a script where there are white parts (DayBrick) and black parts (NightBrick). I wanted to make a script where on a ScreenGui button click any of the bricks disappear (NOTE: There are mutliple parts named 'NightBrick' and 'DayBrick'). The script is set as a Script and put into Workspace. The goal is that the script must detect all of the parts named each of them and change what they do/are.
01 | Day = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.DayButton |
02 | Night = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.NightButton |
03 | DayBrick = game.Workspace.DayBrick |
04 | NightBrick = game.Workspace.NightBrick |
05 |
06 | Day.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() |
07 | for _,Part in next, (game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do |
08 | if (Part .Name == "DayBrick") and Part :IsA("BasePart") then |
09 | DayBrick.Transparency = 0 |
10 | DayBrick.CanCollide = true |
11 | NightBrick.Transparency = 1 |
12 | NightBrick.CanCollide = false |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | end) |

You can just use pairs in a for loop. I usually never use next.
Also, I think it'd be a lot easier if you made two seperate folder instances and put the two different types of bricks in each instead of getting all the children of the entire workspace.
01 | Day = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.DayButton |
02 | Night = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.NightButton |
03 | DayFolder = game.Workspace.DayFolder:GetChildren()--day bricks are inside here |
04 | NightFolder = game.Workspace.NightFolder:GetChildren()--night bricks are inside here |
05 |
06 | Day.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()--Notice that I took out the if function because we already can assume any parts inside the day folder are only a day block. |
07 | for key,Part in pairs(DayFolder) do |
08 | Part.Transparency = 0 |
09 | Part.CanCollide = true |
10 | Part.Transparency = 1 |
11 | Part.CanCollide = false |
12 | end |
13 | end) |

15 | Night.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() --Notice that I took out the if function because we already can assume any parts inside the night folder are only a night block. |

Thank you for the script,I made slight changes (the time), but I found that when I click on 'Day' then the DayBlocks disappear, click on 'Night' - nothing happens + on daytime, the night blocks disappear and on nighttime, the dayblocks disappear, just to make it more correct. (It's a puzzle-adventure game I'm making)
01 | Day = script.Parent.DayButton |
02 | Night = script.Parent.NightButton |
03 | DayFolder = game.Workspace.DayFolder:GetChildren() |
04 | NightFolder = game.Workspace.NightFolder:GetChildren() |
05 |
06 | Day.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() |
07 | for key,Part in pairs(DayFolder) do |
08 | Part.Transparency = 0 --Why is there 4 rows of 'Part.' ? |
09 | Part.CanCollide = true --Same |
10 | Part.Transparency = 1 --Same |
11 | Part.CanCollide = false --Same |
12 | game.Lighting.TimeOfDay = '14:00:00' |
13 | end |
14 | end) |
