Detecting When a Part is Destroyed

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello there!
I was wondering if there is a way to detect if a part in workspace was destroyed, and if so, run the script.
Would I have to add into the script to run the other code before destroying the part? I would appreciate any and all help!

I have never used this event before but I do believe it should do the trick

workspace.DescendantRemoving:Connect(function()
	--Run Code
end)
#3

How would I get it to detect a certain part being removed, though?

#4

run an if statement and check if the parts name is a set name

You could also do something like this:

local Part = -- part name

if not game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(Part) then
    -- code will run here if part is not found
end

local Part = -- index part completely

if not Part then
      -- code will run here if part is not found
end

Those operations will return true or false depending on if the script can successfully index your part.

For this you would do:

workspace.DescendantRemoving:Connect(function(part)
    if part.Name == "String" then
        print("Wow this part called String was destroyed!")
    end
end)

@Aerosphia This must be in a loop or else it will not detect the part being destroyed if it is destroyed after the script starts.
