Hi, I'm a beginner scripter and I'm trying to write a script that deletes an object in a model if the model already has more than 10 of the object in it. Here is my script:
if script.Parent:GetChildren() > 10 then
local object = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Object")
object:Destroy()
end
Thanks
You should first check what events you can use for this task. In your case you can use ChildAdded or DescendantAdded.
Lastly GetChildren returns an array which youcan get the length of using #.
Example:-
local model = script.Parent
local limit = 10 -- child limit
limit = limit + 1 -- offset as the script is a child
model.ChildAdded:Connect(function(ins) -- the event passes the item being added
-- check current item count
if #model:GetChildren() > limit then
ins:Destroy()
end
end)
I hope this helps.
Thanks Ill make sure to find out about tables too
Bin = script.Parent
if Bin:GetChildren() > 10 then
local object = Bin:FindFirstChild("Part")
object:Destroy()
end

"Object" is pretty ambigious. So lets instead say, if each item was called "Part" you would replace "Object" with "Part". Also, make sure you indent youre code
