Why isn't the :GetChildren() function not working?

Asked 307 views2 answers
if game.Workspace.Random.ONE.Value == 1 then
	local children = game.Workspace.Levels.ONE.one:GetChildren()
	for c = 1, #children do
		
	if children[c].className == "Part"
	then
	children[c].Transparency = 1
	children[c].CanCollide = false
	end
end
end

So what i'm trying to do is if random has the value of 2, then it will :GetChildren() of game.Workspace.Levels.ONE.one and make it fully transparent. When I disable the random script, and set the vaule to 1, it still doesn't work, please help. No output errors

What would that do? Not to sound mean or anything.

Well your first error, is the first line:

if game.Workspace.Random.ONE.Value == 1 then

This only fires once the value is one.

Another thing could be that you need to create a loop, for the script to loop.

For what you want your code should look something like this:

while true do --- For the loop
	wait(0.0001)  -- While loops run really quick, we disable that Roblox turns off the loop, because of it going to quick, with a quick wait.
	if game.Workspace.Random.ONE.Value == 2 then
		local children = game.Workspace.Levels.ONE.one:GetChildren()
		for c = 1, #children do
			if children[c].className == "Part" then
				children[c].Transparency = 1
				children[c].CanCollide = false
			end
		end
	end
end

I hope this answered your question. - Toby

Here:

coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
while true do
wait(1)
for _,OBJECT in ipairs(workspace.Levels.ONE.one:GetChildren()) do
if OBJECT.className == "Part" then
OBJECT.Transparency = 1
OBJECT.CanCollide = false
end
end
end
end))
