How do I make a script recognize a certain part that shares the same name as others?

Asked by 6 years ago
local ammoBox = workspace.Box_Ammo

local GUI = ammoBox.GUI
local Label = GUI.TextLabel
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local magnitude = (player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - ammoBox.Position).Magnitude
local uim = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local x = true
coroutine.wrap(function()
    while wait() do
        magnitude = (player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - ammoBox.Position).Magnitude
        math.floor(magnitude)
    end
end)()
coroutine.wrap(function()
while wait() do
    if magnitude <=10 then
        x = false
        GUI.Enabled = true
    else
        x = true
        GUI.Enabled = false
    end
end
end)()

uim.InputBegan:Connect(function(key,gameproc)
if x == false then
    if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F and not gameproc then
            game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.ammoBox:FireServer(ammoBox,gun)
        end
    end
end)

Right, this script is supposed to delete a 'ammoBox' when you press F, and are under 10 studs away from the box. However;

There is more than one ammoBox, and this does it to random boxes. And I don't want to create a new localscript for every single box that I put in. I want it to recognize a box when a player is near it. But I don't know how.

Any help is very appreciated. please leave anything helpful.

Hey, this probably won't work because I'm an idiot at scripting but maybe you could change the part name slightly.

Let's say there's 2 'parts', so you could change it to Part1 and Part2.

Or if you're doing it in the script, and the part has a Parent like Workspace > House > Part you could say it's Parent if you're doing something specific, that way if you're talking about a part in something, you won't change something else random with the same name.

Yeah ..you can try it but it probably won't work because remember I'm really poop at scripting.
