Part picking up problem

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So lets say the game has 10 parts and they all have a value owner, but I have 8 players how would I make that 8 random parts get a diffrent owner? btw the owner value is going to be the players name

#2 
local players = {...}
local parts = {...}

for _, player in #players do
    local randomPart = table.remove(parts, math.random(#parts))
    randomPart.Owner.Value = player.Name
end

where:

  • parts is an array with all the parts, having a StringValue under it named Owner.
  • players is an array with all Player instances.
  • #parts >= #players

[quote=“Jqck, post:2, topic:2451673, username:Mystxry12”]

local players = {...}
local parts = {...}

what do i need to put in parts{} and palyers{} ??

#4

I already mentioned it, please refer the post.

#5

so I could do parts = {folder:getchildren()}

#6

@pasje1312 Actually no, just do

parts = folder:GetChildren()
#7

and then for the player

local players = game.Players:Getchildren()
#8

Yes, please avoid asking yes/no questions

#9

ok sorry, but at the #players part theres an error
ServerScriptService.QuestScripts.OwnersBackpacks:4: attempt to iterate over a number value

#10 
for _, player in players do
    local randomPart = table.remove(parts, math.random(#parts))
    randomPart.Owner.Value = player.Name
end
#11 
local players = game.Players:GetChildren()
local parts = game:WaitForChild("Workspace").HouseMap.Backpacks.BackpackParts:GetChildren()

for _, player in players do
	local randomPart = table.remove(parts, math.random(#parts))
	randomPart.Owner.Value = player.Name
end

none of the values are changing the loop isnt running I did printing it printed nothing.

#12

Where is the script located? ServerScriptService

#13

isn’t it supposed to be

for _, player in pairs(players) do

or am I thinking of something else

edit: I see, hasn’t been able to use studios in a while lol

#14

Generalized iteration has already rolled out.

#16

what does that mean___________

#17

Maybe it is running before any player joins, for the time being add this line at the top.

Players.PlayerAdded:Wait()
