So in this video of Alvin Blocks where he makes a car Shop gui (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zM6QhIn_JBY) But you can spawn multiple cars when you've bought it.
I have a script that should remove the old car after new one is spawned but i cant get it to work. Am i doing something wrong or i need to put the script somewhere else?
local theOldCar=workspace:FindFirstChild('CarName')
if theOldCar~=nil then theOldCar:Destroy()?
If you handle this well - then theOldCar variable should never be nil - you really shouldn't need to run that check. Aside from that - nothing here should be incorrect. If it is not working - I would prioritize checking the location of theOldCar, and be sure you're searching in the right spot.
Can you show me how the script should look like then?
Nothing which you posted is incorrect (given that the ? on the second line isn't actually in the code). This is classic debugging. Find out how far the script can work properly, and make amendments. You should give a look to where theOldCar is actually located, and be sure you're accessing the correct spot.
Hmm cant get it to work.. The car model is in ServerStorage, But by spawning it the car spawns in workspace. Nothing shows up on the output.. Should i place the script somewhere else?
Can you try it yourself? https://www.roblox.com/games/1905913612/Roblox-Car-Spawn-Tutorial
Alright, here's the fix - Alvin has decided to name the cars "Username's Car" rather than their actual names. So you need to search workspace for player.Name .. "'s" .. NameOfCar over NameOfCar. I have fixed it for you - each player can only spawn one of each car type. Uncopylocked Fixed Place: https://www.roblox.com/games/2474124452/Car-Spawn-Fix-for-scriptinghelpers
Yeah that's what i thought at school today. Thanks so much tho, I was testing different scripts to get it fixed and nothing worked, I was so confused and thought ill give up. Seriously you saved my game and lot of time for me. Thank you! Also do the cars stay in the game when you leave? If so i need a way to remove that.
You can just run a function that destroy's that user's cars when they leave. Also, if the issue is fixed be sure to accept the solution.
How do you run that function?
When a player leaves, just scan workspace for any of these four cars attached to your username.
i dont know how to do that.. Can you show me?
By the way is it possible to spawn only 1 from all types not 3 at a time?
Yes - this is possible, but as stated scriptinghelpers is not a request site. If you can't do any of the work then it immediately becomes request-esk. Some of these things you will need to figure out a bit, and then ask for help.

I think the question mark at the end on line 2 near :Destroy() is the reason.
Let the spawn script handle removing the old car model
Post the script that spawns the car when a player purchases it
Didnt work
