Making a stand system where when you click a button it spawns a dummy behind you
The problem is whenever the time comes to destroy the dummy after the button is clicked again, the :Destroy() function is completely ignored with no errors.
Its maybe being skipped because the count isn’t equal to 2
but if this was the case it wouldn’t warn “huh”
The issue might be that its only deleting the humanoid go clone.Parent:destroy
Doesn’t work the i removed the dummy’s humanoid before cloning it because i don’t want it to have hp. Its also saying that the parent is workspace
Can you send a video of when the clone is made in game and i runs by destroy in the explorer
A video of the explorer like in the workspace when 2 runs that what i meant
Like this?
The reason why is bc your script is running though the first if statement even though its only meant to be running through the second one just make another if statement instead of elseif
make it
if counted == 2 then
…
end
Each time its adding a new dummy even though you are destroying one
But if this were the case, wouldn’t “Stand is made here” also be printed when count == 2 because its not
Its is printing to It just prints right after
the stand isn’t being made there.
myStand is created before the if statement every single time no matter the count.
even if count was 3 for some reason a new stand would be made.

wait so its being made here?
Yeah…
You cloned the stand, which makes a new stand, which is represented with the name Mystand.

local Mystand = nil
which can also be written as:
local Mystand
should be written above the event, to act as a global variable, so it is saved as a variable and can be accessed, even after the event fires multiple times.
Move the three lines of variables (under the event connection) into the if statement, (under the count == 1 “block”, block is commonly referred to as a scope). Also remove local from local Mystand = Stand:Clone() which is now inside the if statement, because as stated above, it should be defined before the event connection to be referenced as “a global variable”.
final code (next time upload the code in text, it would be much appreciated):
local Mystand
Event-connection-thing:Connect(function()
if Count == 1 then
Mystand = Stand:Clone()
local Character = player.Character
local HumanoidRP = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
Mystand.Parent = workspace
the rest of the code...
end)
Reference to @RainingMemory’s messages for describing it.
the rest of the code may remain untouched. Have a good night.

ru using script inside local script ?
yeah so as others said you aren’t tracking the current stand that’s cloned. Heres the example of your script but with the stand being tracked in a variable (using context action service instead of user input service for easier compatibility):
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local rp = game.ReplicatedStorage
local RemoteStand = rp.RemoteStand
local Stand = workspace.Dummy
local CAS = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local debounce = false
local Summoned = false
local Count = 0
local CurrentStand = nil
local function handleAction(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
if debounce == false then
debounce = true
print("Summoned")
Count += 1
RemoteStand:FireServer(Summoned, Count)
debounce = false
print("Count:", Count)
if Count == 2 then
Count = 0
end
end
end
end
local function HandleStands(Summoned,Count)
if CurrentStand then
print("Destroying current stand")
CurrentStand:Destroy()
CurrentStand = nil
end
if Count == 1 then
local Mystand = Stand:Clone()
local Character = player.Character
local HumanoidRP = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
Mystand.Parent = game.Workspace
Mystand.Name = "Cloned"
CurrentStand = Mystand
print("new stand")
end
end
CAS:BindAction("SummonStand", handleAction, true, Enum.KeyCode.Q, Enum.KeyCode.ButtonX)
RemoteStand.OnClientEvent:Connect(HandleStands)
