Attempt to Index Function with Destroy?

Asked Apr 5, 20201,382 views2 answers

I am trying to make a prop regenning script, and whenever it regens an error saying Attempt to index function with destroy. The error is at line 8.

local regenScript = script
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
local regenProps = Workspace:WaitForChild("AllProps")
local save = regenProps:Clone()

local function regenProps()
	regenProps:Destroy()
	local newSave = save:Clone()
	newSave.Parent = Workspace
	newSave:MakeJoints()
end

while true do 
	wait(180) 
	regenProps()
end

It didn't work because you've overridden the regenProps model with the function regenProps. Simply changing one of the variable's names will work. You don't need to clone the model at the beginning of the script. You also don't need to declare workspace as a variable.

local regenScript = script
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local Props = Workspace:WaitForChild("AllProps")

local function regenProps()
	local new = Props:Clone()
	Props:Destroy()
	Props = new
	Props.Parent  = workspace
	Props:MakeJoints()
end

while true do 
	wait(180) 
	regenProps()
end

The problem here is you need to either change the function name regenProps() or change the name of the variable local regenProps to something else
