The children in workspace won't update when I do workspace:GetChildren()?
Before I press "Play", there are 3 things in workspace, Camera, Terrain, Baseplate. When I click play, there are 4 things because my character loads in. In the script below, after adding parts into the workspace after pressing "Play", when I click on the GUI button it prints "its cycling through workspace" 4 times. If I have an extra part in the workspace after clicking "Play", shouldn't it say that 5 times?
My problem is, I need the children to update whenever something is added into workspace during gameplay.
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
w = workspace:GetChildren()
for i,v in pairs(w) do
print("its cycling through workspace")
if v.Name == "Spray" then
print("The if statement works")
v:Destroy()
end
end
end)

Um. W is the workspace but then its not going to use instance:WaitForchild() . Which means its just looking and seeing the workspace without actually doing anything. voidofdeathfire 148 — 4y

Try defining "w" as a local variable. I don't see why this should work but it's in the realm of possibility. Fifkee 2017 — 4y

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
for i,v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
print("its cycling through workspace")
if v.Name == "Spray" then
print("The if statement works")
v:Destroy()
end
end
end)
