[Edited x2]How to make clones of the same part unique?
I have made a script that creates multiple spikes from the ground, and I want to make each one of them individual in the sense that if a spike is touched, that spike gets destroyed. However I cant seem to figure out to do that, when I touch a spike, another spike is destroyed.
game.ReplicatedStorage.EarthStomp.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local char = game.Players[player.Name].Character
local hum = char.Humanoid
local root = char.HumanoidRootPart
local ar = Instance.new("Part")
local ten = true
ar.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
ar.Anchored = true
ar.CanCollide = false
ar.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
ar.Transparency = 0
ar.Shape = Enum.PartType.Cylinder
ar.Size = Vector3.new(0.01,1,1)
ar.CFrame = player.Character["Left Leg"].CFrame + Vector3.new(0.01,0,0)
ar.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, 0, 90)
ar.Parent = workspace
game.Debris:AddItem(ar,2)
local tween = game:GetService("TweenService")
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.Out,0,false,0)
local tweenProperty = {Size = Vector3.new(0.01,150,150);Transparency = 1}
local tweenRun = tween:Create(ar,tweenInfo,tweenProperty)
tweenRun:Play()
wait(0.5)
function earthspike()
earthspike = game:GetService("ServerStorage").Spike:Clone()
earthspike.Anchored = true
earthspike.CanCollide = true
earthspike.Parent = workspace
earthspike.CFrame = ar.CFrame * CFrame.new(root.CFrame.X - 4,math.random(-40,40),math.random(-40,40))
game.Debris:AddItem(earthspike,5)
local tween = game:GetService("TweenService")
local tweenInfo2 = TweenInfo.new(0.01,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.Out,0,false,0)
local tweenProperty2 = {Orientation = Vector3.new(0,0,0)}
local tweenRun2 = tween:Create(earthspike,tweenInfo2,tweenProperty2)
tweenRun2:Play()
end
for i = 1,30 do
spawn(earthspike)
end
earthspike.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local ehum = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") or hit.Parent.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
earthspike.BrickColor = hit.BrickColor
if not ten then return end
if ehum and ehum ~= hum then
ten = false
ehum:TakeDamage(5)
earthspike:Destroy()
wait()
ten = true
end
end)
end)
Also, error comes up after a couple spikes are spawned Workspace.Moves.EarthStomp:47: attempt to index global 'earthspike' (a function value) After that, the spikes wont spawn anymore
--Line 47 earthspike.Touched:connect(function(hit)

You don't need to differentiate each spike by giving them a different name. As long as you can obtain the reference to the spikes, you can control what happens for each individual spike.
You should connect the Touched event for every spike when creating all the spikes.
Also, don't use findFirstChild. Use FindFirstChild instead because the former is deprecated.
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local spike = ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Spike")
local ten = true
function earthspike(v)
earthspike = spike:Clone()
earthspike.Name = "earthspike"
earthspike.Anchored = true
earthspike.CanCollide = true
earthspike.CFrame = ar.CFrame * CFrame.new(workspace.Baseplate.Position.X, math.random(-40, 40), math.random(-40, 40))
earthspike.Parent = workspace
game.Debris: AddItem(earthspike, 5)
local tweenInfo2 = TweenInfo.new(0.01, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
local tweenProperty2 = {
Orientation = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
}
local tweenRun2 = TweenService: Create(earthspike, tweenInfo2, tweenProperty2)
tweenRun2: Play()
-- connect the touched event as you create it
earthspike.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local ehum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") or hit.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
earthspike.BrickColor = hit.BrickColor
if not ten then return end
if ehum and ehum ~= hum then
ten = false
ehum:TakeDamage(5)
earthspike:Destroy()
wait()
ten = true
end
end)
end
for i = 1,30 do
spawn(earthspike)
end
And for the error you're getting, you need to show line 47 of that script for us to help debug it.
EDIT:
You are getting that error on line 47 because your function name is earthspike. If you mean to reference the variable inside the function, you firstly have to put the Touched code inside of the function because the variable earthspike is local and is scoped only inside the earthspike function.
My script above should fix it, but you should avoid having variable names and function names be the same. I would recommend changing it to CreateEarthSpikes or something of the sort.
Hope this helps! :)
