How would I make this affect multiple objects named "Tree"?

Asked 242 views2 answers
local Players = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Tool = script.Parent
local gun = script.Parent.Handle
local mouse = Players:GetMouse()
local deb = true
Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Beam.Enabled = false
    mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
		if game.Workspace.Tree.Name == "Tree" then
			script.Parent.Beam.Enabled = true
			script.Parent.Beam.Attachment0 = Tool.Handle.Main_Attatchment
			script.Parent.Beam.Attachment1 = workspace.Tree.Atta.TreeAttatchment
			workspace.Tree.Atta.TreeAttatchment.Position = Vector3.new(mouse.Target.CFrame)
			wait(1.5)
			script.parent.Beam.Enabled = false
		end
	end)
end)

Right now this only affects one object named tree how would I make it affect more?

I recommend using Tool.Activated event in replace of the Line 8 use of Button1Down.

Use a for loop to get the children of an object (This case, it is workspace) and find the ones named tree. If it is a tree, do stuff with the tree.

for _, obj in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
	if obj.Name == "Tree" then
		script.Parent.Beam.Enabled = true
		script.Parent.Beam.Attachment0 = Tool.Handle.Main_Attatchment
		script.Parent.Beam.Attachment1 = workspace.Tree.Atta.TreeAttatchment
		workspace.Tree.Atta.TreeAttatchment.Position = Vector3.new(mouse.Target.CFrame)
		wait(1.5)	
		script.parent.Beam.Enabled = false
	end
end

Either that or place all your trees in the same parent so you just need to get that objects children
