The Model wont clone itself? Help?

Asked 363 views1 answers

So, i've been testing this regen script, that selects a random model between the 2 that exist for now(Model1 and Model0). The script begins by checking if X equals to 0 or 1, to select which map will be choosen in the next round. Then the choosen model will clone itself, and here is where the trouble is.

No errors, the Model is archivable, and it wont clone. What did i do wrong?

Script:

local ServerStorage = game.ServerStorage

function Regen()
	local X = math.random(0,1)
	if X == 1 then
		ServerStorage.Model1:Clone()
		ServerStorage.Model1.Parent = workspace
		wait(2)
		workspace.Model1:Destroy()
		print("X was 1")
	end
	if X == 0 then
		ServerStorage.Model0:Clone()
		ServerStorage.Model0.Parent = workspace
		wait(2)
		workspace.Model0:Destroy()
		print("X was 0")
	end
end

while true do
	Regen(Regen())
	wait(2)
end

Cheers!

On line 22 it should just be "Regen()" not "Regen(Regen)" since your function doesn't take any arguments.

i want to delete the clone, that the Parent is workspace, which is supposed to be deleted, and replaced with another clone later.

i the model to be cloned, then it will be moved to workspace, so it can be the next map, then, after some time, it would be deleted, so that another map can take place.

You shouldn't be destroying the model after you clone it.

local ServerStorage = game.ServerStorage

function Regen()
	local X = math.random(0,1)
	if X == 1 then
		Model1Clone = ServerStorage.Model1:Clone()
		Model1Clone.Parent = workspace
        	wait()
		print("X was 1")
	end
	elseif X == 0 then
		Model0Clone = ServerStorage.Model0:Clone()
		Model0Clone.Parent = workspace
		wait()
		print("X was 0")
	end
end

while true do
	Regen()
	wait(2)
end

And PLEASE, don't use spaces as indents. Use "Tab" instead. It's much better.

If you want to destroy the one in serverstorage, do:

local ServerStorage = game.ServerStorage

function Regen()
	local X = math.random(0,1)
	if X == 1 then
		Model1Clone = ServerStorage.Model1:Clone()
		Model1Clone.Parent = workspace
        	wait()
		ServerStorage.Model1:Destroy()
		print("X was 1")
	end
	elseif X == 0 then
		Model0Clone = ServerStorage.Model0:Clone()
		Model0Clone.Parent = workspace
		wait()
		ServerStorage.Model0:Destroy()
print("X was 0")
	end
end

while true do
	Regen()
	wait(2)
end

Please press the answer button (wherever it is I forgot) if this helped. I'd gladly appreciate it :)
