How to tell how many objects are in a certain place?
I want a function to connect when the game finds that there is only 1 object in a certain place. Let's say if there's only 1 block named "Brick" in the workspace. How would I tell a script to do something if there's only 1 of them? I have no idea how to even start a script like this.
Thanks for reading

You could use a for loop:
local function howmanyParts(model)
local nrofparts
for i, v in pairs(model:GetChildren)) do
nrofparts = nrofparts + 1
end
return nrofparts
end
Or (im not sure if this works though):
local function howmanyParts(model)
local nrofparts = model:GetChildren()
return #nrofparts
end
In each example, the model parameter represents the model that contains the number of parts you want to count. So to print the numbers of instances in the workspace you could do print(howmanyParts(game.Workspace)
0
(to check if the number of parts is greater than one you can do ...if howmanyParts(*model containing the parts*) > 1 then... radusavin366 617 — 6y

radusavin366, the second script will work, as you want the number of members of a table Leamir 3138 — 6y
