How to remove models when round ends?

Asked 195 views1 answers

So I have a Game Script which is practically the heart of my game, so far most of it has been working but I can't find an efficient way to remove all the enemies that spawn in while the match goes on.

This is how I spawn in enemies (including every variable used, the enemies spawn using wait() )

lightingenemies = game.Lighting.Enemies
enemylist = lightingenemies:GetChildren()
enemy = enemylist[math.random(1, #enemylist)]
								fieldenemy = enemy:clone() 
								fieldenemy.Parent = game.Workspace
								fieldenemy:makeJoints()

I've tried these:

childd = game.Workspace:GetChildren()
if childd.Name == enemylist.Name then
childd:Remove()

childd = game.Workspace:GetChildren()
if childd.Name == { "insert" , "thirty" , "different" , "names" , "here"} then                                                --all the names of the units were put above
child:Remove()

i've tried including models in the enemies themselves that makes it so they delete themselves when the value that tells the script if the game is running is false

if gamerun.Value == false then
wait()
script.Parent.Parent:Remove()      -- the enemies were put inside another model for naming
-- and so it wouldn't interfere with the enemy's code
-- i've tried putting a while true do and that didn't work either

I'm positive there's a way to do this correctly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Edit: I want to add on to this and apologize for the sloppy coding

I assume you have ends for those if statements. Also, how are you triggering these sections of code? e.g., what event are you binding to for the last one?

Lots deprecated code you have. You have four parts of code, these parts will also be 4. They are in order and will correspond to your code.

Errors in your code:

  • Putting objects in Lighting as storage is deprecated, use ReplicatedStorage

  • You misspelt Clone as clone and MakeJoints as makeJoints

  • You tried to get the Name of a table when that isn’t possible

  • You used Remove when it’s Destroy

  • You tried to check if a table’s name equaled an entire table

Part1

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService"ReplicatedStorage" --Use this not Lighting
local enemies = replicatedStorage.Enemies:GetChildren() -- i put enemies in a folder so when i do math.random i don’t get other non related objects

local enemy = enemies[math.random(1, #enemies)]
local fieldEnemy = enemy:Clone() -- Clone not clone!
fieldEnemy.Parent = game.Workspace
fieldEnemy:MakeJoints() --MakeJoints not makeJoints!

Part2

local children = game.Workspace:GetChildren()

for i = 1, #children do --easier way to loop through tables
    if children[i].Name == replicatedStorage.Enemies.Name then -- tables don’t have names. objects do!
        children[i]:Destroy() --Destroy not remove!
    end
end

Part3

local names = {
    ["insert"] = true,
    ["thirty"] = true,
    ["different"] = true,
    ["names"] = true,
    ["here"] = true
}

if names[children[i].Name] then --this is how to check if in table
    children[i]:Destroy()
end

Part4

gamerun:GetPropertyChangedSignal('Value'):Connect(function()
    if gamerun.Value == false then
        wait()
        script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
    end
end
