For i,v in ipairs script destroying all the children in torso? [SOLVED]
I'm trying to :Destroy() all BodyGyro and BodyVelocity in the player's torso.
--Some variables to define the player and character
local Movers = char.Torso:GetChildren()
for i,v in pairs(Movers) do
if v == "BodyGyro" or "BodyVelocity" then
v:Destroy()
end
end
but it destroys all the children in the torso.

The reason your script isn't working because you are trying to compare an object to a string, also in your case you can't do v==blah or blah you'd have to do v==blah or v==blah2. So let's fix this.
First Let's bring in the correct part of your script.
for i,v in pairs(char.Torso:GetChildren()) do end
Now let's use the :IsA() function to check if the object we are on has a classname of either body gyro or body velocity and if so destroy
for i,v in pairs(char.Torso:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("BodyGyro") or v:IsA("BodyVelocity") then
v:Destroy()
end
end

Yes. "BodyVelocity" in an if statement is always true, so it would always run. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y

@hiimgoodpack actually it would return false for an instance is not the same as a string. https://gyazo.com/2dfb535e5c0d2ef299f0113fe5546916 DanzLua 2879 — 6y
