:Clone() Not working even with setting parent!

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I am writing a simple star system generator. All was working well until I tried to put the orbiting script onto the planets. It works once but it does not clone the orbit script!

Here is my code:

local atrribute = game.Workspace.CreationPropertiesHandlers.PlanetCreationHandler

local Colour = atrribute:GetAttribute("Colour")
local Size = atrribute:GetAttribute("Size")
local HasAtmosphere = atrribute:GetAttribute("HasAtmosphere")
local OrbitRadius = atrribute:GetAttribute("OrbitRadius")
local OrbitSpeed = atrribute:GetAttribute("OrbitSpeed")
local Planets = atrribute:GetAttribute("Planets")

for i = 1, Planets do
	Part = Instance.new("Part")
	Part.Parent = workspace
	Part.Name = "Planet" .. i
	Part.Anchored = true
	game.ServerStorage.OrbitScript:Clone()
	game.ServerStorage.OrbitScript.Parent = Part
	atrribute:SetAttribute("OrbitRadius", OrbitRadius * i)
	atrribute:SetAttribute("OrbitSpeed", OrbitSpeed * i)
	Part.Material = "Neon"
	Part.Size = Vector3.new(Size, Size, Size)
	Part.Shape = "Ball"
	Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(Colour)

	wait()
end

I have no clue what I am doing wrong so if anyone knows what, it will be appreciated.
Thanks
Tangy

Have you checked if OrbitScript.Archivable is true?

Yep just did that now.
It was already archivable

Do you see any errors in your output?
Also is Planets an integer or what?

This should be

local x = game.ServerStorage.OrbitScript:Clone()
x.Parent = Part

This is the error

Planets is an integer yes

Use WaitForChild, the script may have loaded before the Instance did

You can do a script like this:
local planetsCreated = 0
while true do:
if planetsCreated < Planets:
#Create your part

Edit: Also you need to add a wait so it will not give an error saying exhaustion
