How do I put multiple parts in a table that have the same name?
I don't even know if the parameters for GetChildren() even do anything, but I thought to put the name of the parts I want indexed as a parameters which did nothing. How do I do this, if it's even possible without making individual variables for each part?
1 | local windows = script.Parent.Parent.Parts:GetChildren("WindowParts") |

What you could do is make a dictionary table with the name of the parts and look through a specific service to look for the specific part
01 | local Strings = |
02 |
03 | { |
04 |
05 | ["WindowParts"] = true |
06 |
07 | } |
08 |
09 | local tab = {} |
10 | local descendants = workspace:GetDescendants() -- Location of where you have "WindowParts" |
11 |
12 |
13 | for _,index in pairs(descendants) do |
14 | if Strings[index.Name] then |
15 | table.insert(tab, index) |
16 | print(index) |
17 | end |
18 | end |
