For each island found destroy() not working?

Asked 317 views1 answers

So I have this folder in workspace called InslandSlots and each slot it has a model called Island.

After each round I wan't it to destroy() the model but I keep getting the error: ServerScriptService.Rounds:15: attempt to index a nil value

Server Script:

wait()
while true do
	--Preparing round
	Status = "PREPARING ROUND"
	UpdateStatus:FireAllClients(Status)
	local Islands = game.Workspace.IslandSlots:GetChildren()
	for i = 1, #Islands do
		local Island = Islands[i]
		Island:FindFirstChild("Model"):Remove()
		wait()
	end
	wait(10)
end```

This might not be helpful, so I'm not making it an answer, but normally for tables I use for i, var in ipairs(table) do as it automatically just cycles through the table. You then wouldn't have to use Islands[i], as var would already carry the same value that that would. I honestly don't see any problems other than that, except for the infinite loop created by while true do, when this seems to hap

pen only once, but this could just be because I don't know the full scope of the script.

I tried to create a similar environment that I could decipher from your code, my folder is depicted here: https://prnt.sc/naby2w

I used similar code to yours without while true do because I was only attempting to do it once. This is what I procured in a script that was inserted into ServerScriptService:

wait()
local islands = workspace.IslandSlots:GetChildren()
for i, island in ipairs(islands) do
island:FindFirstChild("Model"):Destroy()
print("island destroyed")
end

From just running that, I was successful, however, as I said in my comments, I don't know the full scope of your script or the workspace you are dealing with. On the oft chance that you are using Island:FindFirstChild("Model") and model isn't actually a descendent of Island, that would be your problem, but otherwise I don't honestly know what is going wrong with your script. Hope you figure it out, and that I could potentially provide some insight.
