an error occurs with GetChildren()?
local chunkpieces = script.Parent.ChunkPieces:GetChildren("ChunkPiece")
wait(0.5)--wait time after chunk is loaded to reduce lag
for i = 1,25 do
wait(0.1)
if chunkpieces[i]:IsA("Model") and chunkpieces[i].Name == "ChunkPiece" then
b = math.random(#chunkpieces)
local randompart = chunkpieces[b]
randompart.IsEnabled.Value = true
end
end
this script goes through a model which contains lots of other models, each of those other models is a group of parts. an error occurs and the for loop only runs once.
the error:
Workspace.AreaChunk3.CoreManager:6: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

GetChildren() is a table not a spcific target, it gets all the children Gameplayer365247v2 1055 — 4y

Please provide explanation with your answers. Simply posting code does not spread knowledge of integral scripting processes which helps people understand the logic and reasoning behind your answer.
local chunkpieces = script.Parent.ChunkPieces:GetChildren()--get children is a table and can not find a specific child
wait(0.5)--wait time after chunk is loaded to reduce lag
for i = 1,25 do
wait(0.1)
if chunkpieces[i]:IsA("Model") and chunkpieces[i].Name == "ChunkPiece" then
b = math.random(#chunkpieces)
local randompart = chunkpieces[b]
randompart.IsEnabled.Value = true
end
end

Shouldn't it be:
b = math.random(1,#chunkpieces)
Also looping could be done by usi g #chunkpieces instead of 25
