Unable to clone and destroy objects consistently. help?
I have explained it inside my script. Here it is:
local Number = math.random(2) --Lets say our friend math.random spawns in "One"
local Storage = game.ServerStorage
local One = Storage["One"]
local Two = Storage["Two"]
while true do --Repeats itself for infinite alternating spawning
if Number == 1 then One:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace --Puts "One" into workspace
elseif Number == 2 then Two:Clone().Parent =game.Workspace
end
wait(3) --waiting until "One" can be deleted.
if game.Workspace:WaitForChild("One") then game.Workspace.One:Destroy() --Destroys "One"
end
if game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Two") then game.Workspace.Two:Destroy() --but this one has a "possible infinite yield"
end
wait(2)
end
--How do I make sure the script ignores the object that is not located in the workspace?
--I'm also planning on using a variant of this script in a game that has more than two objects, so the solution should work on an infinite amount of objects and be easily duplicated.
--I also may have overlooked something extremely simple...

Do you mean that sometimes "Two" isn't a member of workspace, and never will be, leading to an infinite sleep? Couldn't you just use "FindFirstChild" instead? fredfishy 833 — 5y

If I were to use FindFirstChild, the output would halt the script because it can't find "Two". So that's why I landed on WaitForChild. porw2 6 — 5y

Update: FindFirstChild did work, I just made a typo when tried it before... porw2 6 — 5y

Set one and two to varialbes after line 13 so you can use FindFirstChild
local oneWorkSpace = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("One")
local twoWorkSpace = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Two")
if oneWorkSpace ~= nil then
oneWorkSpace:Destroy()
end
if twoWorkSpace ~= nil then
twoWorkSpace:Destroy()
end
