Anyone know why I cant get the children of my model?

[TheLittleDevelopment (Nidhogg)]

So I’m trying to get better at scripting and I thought I’d try making a hatch that opens using a GUI.

However when I tried to get the children of my hatch model (to get the parts and unions) all that appeared was these brackets.

I’m trying to get the children so I can make my model transparent and give it the illusion that the hatch is actually opening through two different top hatch models.

Any help is appreciated!

it doesnt work like that
if you want to change every parts in table you should do for i,v in function

let me give you example of destroying everything inside “model”

local model = workspace.model

for _,v in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do
v:Destroy()
end
