How do make a script search for a models location?

Asked 186 views1 answers

So between the If and Then statements I want something like "If MapContents is in workspace then" and "If MapContentsSmooth is in workspace then" but im not sure how to write that

wait(1)
function onClick()
	script.Parent.Sound:Play()
	wait(.1)
	
		if  then
game.Workspace.MapContents:Destroy()
game.Lighting.MapContentsSmooth:clone().Parent = game.Workspace
		else
			
		if then
game.Workspace.MapContentsSmooth:Destroy()
game.Lighting.MapContents:clone().Parent = game.Workspace
		end	
	end
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClick)

Why serverstorage instead of lighting?

You can choose any however server storage is recommended. Lighting was frequently used way back in 2008 where there was no storage.

Because server storage is indebted for storage, whilst lighting is not. Is it LightingStorage or lighting? ServerStorage. Storage

This is not 2008.

Hello, You know you could use "if workspace.Parent == "Place1(example)" then"or in some situations "if workspace.Parent.ClassName == "DataModel" then (example)".

Or you could use (as an example) if game:FindFirstChild("Workspace") which we will use now.

Or you could use if game.Workspace ~= nil (again, this is just an example)

In this situation it will look like this:

wait(1)
function onClick()
    script.Parent.Sound:Play()
    wait(.1)

        if workspace:FindFirstChild("MapContents") then
game.Workspace.MapContents:Destroy()
game.Lighting.MapContentsSmooth:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace -- :clone is deprecated, recommended using :Clone
        else
	
	if workspace:FindFirstChild("MapContents") then
game.Workspace.MapContentsSmooth:Destroy()
game.Lighting.MapContents:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace -- :clone is deprecated, recommended using :Clone
        end 
    end
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(onClick) -- :connect is deprecated, recommended using :Connect
