Checking for an object like this isn't working, Whats wrong with this?
I'm basically implementing a script where it plays an audio object and shuts down the server after a minute if the main object in the game goes missing.
while true do
if workspace["Core"] then
print("Core Exists")
else
print("ERROR: CORE MISSING")
script.Parent:Play()
local H = Instance.new("Hint",game.Workspace)
H.Text = "ERROR: Core Model is Missing or Destroyed. The server will be shut down in about 1 minute."
wait(60)
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
v:Kick("Server was shut down due to the Core being missing or destroyed.")
end
break
end
wait(1)
end

Note: I've also tried "Instance:FindFirstChild", "workspace.Core", and "if workspace.Core == nil then" AzrefriskDreemurr 8 — 5y

Well I think the problem here is that you're using a loop when you should be using Events instead.
function onChildRemoved(removedInstance)
if removedInstance.Name == "Core" then
for i,v in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
v:Kick("Server shutdown!")
end
else
print("Phew, core is still here :D")
end
end
workspace.ChildRemoved:Connect(onChildRemoved)
In the code above we have a function that fires every time a child is removed from the workspace. The function checks if the instance that was removed was the Core, and if that's the case we kick everyone. If the core is still there then we will do nothing.

Keep in mind this is an example, I didn't add the audio or the message. You're just going to have to add it yourself. Mr_Unlucky 1085 — 5y

Thank you! I was unaware of the ability to fire code upon part removal. AzrefriskDreemurr 8 — 5y
