I need to set this up better but I’m drawing a blank. Each coin type spawns in a different area. I got the spawning of parts to work perfectly so now I need an efficient way to differentiate between the coins.
Simply put either a number value for currency in each coin, and then get that from the script.

assert(currencyRS, [["The variable currencyRS is nil"]])
assert(#currencyRS:GetChildren() ~= 0, [[The currencyRS doesn't have a children]])
error([[The possible issue is:
- Try currencyRS:GetChildren() (or GetDescandants() if you want to access all children) instead of currencyRS
- Otherwise, it's another issue
]])
Put this in front of the getCoin function
--The command I want you to put
local function getCoin(spawnPart)
--blah blah blah
What it will do is throw an error, A custom error by me, It will stop a function
I hope it works 
Actually when Marusenai said the thing about the value for the currency I remembered I was going to make a Libs Module for all the relevant data. WIP
Then I’m attempting to use it. Still working out how to set it up properly. WIP

for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player then
print(plr.Name, player.Name)
else
warn("player doesn't exist")
-- get info needed to spawn all the coins in
-- the correct places on all available islands
-- for each player that joins
-- leaderstats island data for each player
-- example data:
-- Islands.Island1.isBought = true
-- Islands.Island2.isBought = false -- all other islands = false
end
end
end
return FunMod
I also added in an attribute to the Spawn Parts “CanSpawn = false” so I can use the players saved data to set whether it can spawn or not since the players will need to unlock the new areas over time.
Am I forgetting anything?
