I have more than 500 ores in my game. How to handle them?
Each ore has health and will get destroyed if it's health gets to 0. How do I handle this? Do I give each ore it's own script or would that be too inefficient?

You'll probably have to resort to each ore having it's own script. It's already going to be inefficient if you have 500 ores Async_io 908 — 6y

Well if you want to find all the ores in one place, you could use
:GetDescentdants()
If you group all the ores into a single model or folder it would go like:
game.Workspace.OresInAModelInThis:GetDescendants(Ores)
So, you have a list of everything in "OresInThisModel" and everything inside the all children of that.
For more info on :GetDescendants() look on the RobloxWiki
From there you can do two things.
One
If you go ahead with a script in each ore, you can use the GetDescandants and do this:
game.Workspace.OresInAModelInThis:GetDescendants(Ores)
if Ores:IsA("Script") == true then
Ores.Disabled = false
--Rest of script here
Two
You could control everything from the descendant.
game.Workspace.OresInAModelInThis:GetDescendants(Ores)
if Ores:IsA("Part") == true then --Or whatever instance the ores is
--Rest of script here because I don't know your workspace
--Include a local for the Health value, find it using If value IsA('IntValue')
--If it goes down to zero 'if health.value == 0 then'
--Then local health.Parent:Destroy()
For more info on IsA you can check that on the wiki too.

My suggestion is the second as the first would be very inefficient. Scaii_0 145 — 6y

@Scaii_0 the variable limit is 200 not sure if you know that DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 6y

Sorry I forgot that he was talking about 200. Maybe just put them into separate models based on their location or something and have a script handling each one that is the same. Scaii_0 145 — 6y
