Why won't my map regeneration script repeat?
So i'm making a game with houses that regenerate once destroyed, the first regeneration works perfectly but dose not repeat itself after that.
Here's my code:
object = game.Workspace.Map
if (object ~= nil) and (object ~= game.Workspace) then
model = object
messageText = "Regenerating Map"
message = Instance.new("Message")
message.Text = messageText
backup = model:clone() -- backup model
waitTime = 3 -- How long it takes until new regen
wait(math.random(0, waitTime))
while true do
wait(waitTime) -- Regen wait time
message.Parent = game.Workspace
model:remove()
wait(3) -- how long the regen msg stays
message:Destroy()
model = backup:clone()
model.Parent = game.Workspace
model:makeJoints()
message.Parent = nil
end
end
I hope there's a simple solution to this :)

:remove() isn't a thing and :Remove() is depricated. greatneil80 2647 — 5y

Should i replace them with :Destroy()? mrfrank79 30 — 5y

it still does the same thing, the map is not regenerating more than one time. mrfrank79 30 — 5y

:remove and :Remove only set an object's Parent to nil, and Destroy does the same, but also locks the parent property (it cannot be reparent es unlike :remove), and prepares the object for garbage collection. :This article here explains this: https://scriptinghelpers.org/blog/do-you-have-zombies-in-your-code User#19524 175 — 5y

It dose the first part of the proccess by 'destroying' the map, but the regeneration message just stays and the map dose not come back. mrfrank79 30 — 5y

function Regen() --Whenever Regen() is activated it will start function
object = game.Workspace.Map
if (object ~= nil) and (object ~= game.Workspace) then
model = object
messageText = "Regenerating Map"
message = Instance.new("Message")
message.Text = messageText
backup = model:clone() -- backup model
waitTime = 3 -- How long it takes until new regen
wait(math.random(0, waitTime))
while true do
wait(waitTime) -- Regen wait time
message.Parent = game.Workspace
model:remove()
wait(3) -- how long the regen msg stays
message:Destroy()
model = backup:clone()
model.Parent = game.Workspace
model:makeJoints()
message.Parent = nil
end
end
end
repeat --Always checks to see when to start Regen()
wait()
object = game.Workspace.Map
if (object ~= nil) and (object ~= game.Workspace) then
Regen()
else
wait(15)
print("Game in Progress")
end
until script.Name == "BAD" --If the script name becomes BAD then script will stop checking when to start regen

The script works but still only regens the map once, are you sure it's finished? mrfrank79 30 — 5y
