Why do some names work and others don't?

Asked 215 views1 answers

Why is it that 

wait(2)
Workspace.Player1.Torso:Destroy()

works, but

wait(2)
Workspace.Player1.LeftArm:Destroy()

doesn't? They're the same script but with the body part changed. Why does one work and the other not?

I don't want a script on how to make the second one work, I want to know why it doesn't.

You need to put Left Arm In brackets and quotation marks because it's separated by a space. You also remove the dot after it's parent, but not after itself. Like this: 

wait(2)
Workspace.Player1["Left Arm"]:Destroy()

Ohhh, so Left Arm is a String? I assumed it was one word. Thanks!
