ok so, i want to make trees spawn all over the map but i want it to stop at some point, i’d really appreciate your help

#23

We can use a for loop. Parameter 1, where we start, Parameter 2, where we end, Parameter 3, how much to count by. Basically we start at 1 and count by 1 until we reach “desiredTrees”

local desiredTrees = 100

for i = 1, desiredTrees, 1 do
        --code here
end
#24

is that a code you put up there? local Height = 5 wood.PrimaryPart = wood.MeshPart wood:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(Vector3.new(math.random(-157, 249),Height, math.random(-157, 249))))

and i am really really sorry but i’ve got one more problem, i need to make a script so objects dont spawn inside something else (can put script manually in those obj)

#25

What do you mean? Try something like this, just remember to define the “TreModel” variable.

local desiredTrees = 100
local TreeModel = --define here

for i = 1, desiredTrees, 1 do
       wait()
       local wood = TreeModel:Clone()
      wood.Parent = workspace
      local Height = 5
      wood.PrimaryPart = wood.MeshPart
       wood:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(Vector3.new(math.random(-157, 249),Height, math.random(-157, 249))))
       for i, v in pairs(wood:GetDescendants()) do
              if v:IsA("BasePart") then
                 for ii, vv in pairs(v:GetTouchingParts()) do
                       if wood and not vv:FindFirstAncestor(wood) then
                           wood:Destroy()
                           break
                      end
                 end
            end
       end
end

where do i put script? in my model[s] or no?

#27

Put this script in ServerScriptService. Don’t forget to define the TreeModel variable

Recopy it, sorry I made a typo.

as always, there’s an error
ServerScriptService.desiredTrees:4: Expected identifier when parsing expression, got ‘for’

#31

Did you define what “TreeModel” was. You have to define the path to the tree model.

#32

i actually forgot, now i did and it still says first error

#33

Which error was the first one?

#34

'ServerScriptService.desiredTrees:13: Expected ‘(’, ‘{’ or when parsing function call, got ‘)’ ’

#35

So line 13 is exactly like this:

its just spamming my output like a maniac with 2,4 numbers

#37

I didn’t add any prints, why is it spamming the output. I gtg in a minute, maybe someone else can help you. You could post another topic and ask for help on the code.

#39

No problem at all, I’m glad to help :slight_smile: . I have like 2 minutes. So do the trees not spawn? Does it still have that error?
