Destroy() glitches sometimes so i want to know if this method works?
So i'm trying to make part disappear by using Destroy() but sometimes it glitches and it doesn't destroy the part immediately so i tried doing this instead
Box.Parent = game.ServerScriptService and Box:Destroy()
If i do this then the part would immediately disappear but i'm not sure if the part would get destroyed once ServerScriptService becomes it's parent.

Why do you want to change its parent and destroy it at the same time? Endergenius100 12 — 5y

`x and y` will evalúate to x if x is falsey, y otherwise. A falsey value is false or nil. Anything that is not false or nil is truthy. Since ServerScriptService is not false or nil it is truthy. :Destroy() has no return value, and since you're trying to store the result of a void function in a variable, the variable holds nil instead.

In less words, your box is being destroyed instead. User#24403 69 — 5y

As i stated, destroy gets glitched sometimes but changing it's parent doesn't so i'm wondering if the part will still get destroyed if i change it's parent TheOneKingx 7 — 5y

Destroy shouldn't glitch, it may be a problem with how you're calling the function.
local function Remove(obj)
if obj:IsA("LuaSourceContainer") then
obj.Disabled = true
end
obj.Parent = nil
end
-- Example:
Remove(box)

Calling, not firing. Fire refers to an event notifying its listeners. User#24403 69 — 5y
