Simplist script in the world and it won't work?
Was helping a friend and have no idea why this doesn't work.
wait(2) Workspace.Player1.LeftArm:Destroy()
It works with Torso and Head but not with Left/RightArm or Left/RightLeg?
So now I know another way to get there, but why does my original script not work?

Not sure why you copied the other person's answer and removed the "()", if you could have just commented on it instead... emite1000 335 — 10y

Ah. Well anyway, you need the two parentheses or the script won't work. So technically Tochi is right. emite1000 335 — 10y

You see [] means a descendant. It could used to descend through about almost anything i think ._. . Like how you'd say in a table BanHammer[2] (second value in table) so in game objects this is specifically used for objects whose are more than one word or have special characters within them. In game objects tho, they have to be in the form of a string else you could use tostring to turn your returning data to a string but this is ALOT more in-depth than this snippet of code.

I have never even heard of using brackets like that to do parent-child relationships. How do they work? emite1000 335 — 10y

So I could have a Part with Bob in it with a Green in it, and if I just did Workspace.Part["Green"] it would instantly go to the next one and skip the others? emite1000 335 — 10y

if you mean green is a descendant of part then yes the thing about [] is that it cannot locate properties like Workspace.Part["BrickColor"] = BrickColor.Green() TochiWasHere 10 — 10y

wait(0)
repeat wait(0)until workspace:FindFirstChild("Player")
if workspace.Player:FindFirstChild("Left Arm") then
workspace.Player:FindFirstChild("Left Arm"):remove()
end
