How to make all part have fire?
So basically I want all the parts named "Fire" which have a fire in it and I want to have it all at the same time
Here is the script
local fire = script.Parent.Fire
for i,v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren(fire)) do
while true do
wait(5)
script.Parent:FindFirstChild('Fire')
if v.Fire.Enabled == false then
wait(math,Random(1 , 10))
v.Fire.Enabled = true
end
end
end
the rest is pretty self-explanatory

It's still unclear to me what you want. Do you just want every single part under script.Parent to have fire, and you want all the fire to be added at the same time? WillieTehWierdo200 966 — 7y

So I named a few brick named Fire right. I added a fire in each one and turned off enabled. Now I want this script to find all of them and enable them at the same time. The_sandwic 14 — 7y

The GetChildren function returns a table consisting of the descendants of the object you used the function on. No arguments are needed. So, the children of 'fire' would be 'fire:GetChildren()'.
You also need to swap your loops - so that the for loop is running inside of the while loop. Otherwise the while loop will only affect the first descendant(since it is endless).
Note : Yielding the code inside of the for loop will cause latency between iterations. Look into using the thread scheduler, or coroutines
local fire = script.Parent.Fire
while wait(5) do --'wait(5)' is truthy, and will still execute.
for i,v in pairs(fire:GetChildren()) do --iterate through table
local f = v:FindFirstChild("Fire") --find the fire object
f.Enabled = true --Change the Enabled property
end
end

This should do the trick:
local function startFires(instance)
for _, descendant in pairs(instance:GetDescendants()) do
if descendant:IsA("Fire") then
descendant.Enabled = true
end
end
end
-- You can change script.Parent to whatever instance you want
startFires(script.Parent)
