Does anyone know why my part respawn script only works once?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

it should happen every 5 seconds (5 seconds for testing, also cd.Value)

local Physics = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("PhysicsWall")
local cd = script:WaitForChild("Cooldown")
local count = 5

local function respawn()
	if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("PhysicsWall") then
		game.Workspace.PhysicsWall:Destroy()
	end
	wait(1)
	Physics:Clone().Parent = workspace
	for i, v in pairs(Physics:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("BasePart") then
			v.Anchored = true
			wait(2)
			v.Anchored = false
		end
	end

end

while task.wait(cd.Value) do
	for i = 1, 5 do
		print("Parts respawning in " .. count)
		count -= 1
		task.wait(1)
	end
	respawn()
end

maybe its because its located in the workspace
im not sure

Better to use task.wait

After that better to set count to 5 again.

Your code works for me

#3

where did you place the script?

#4

ServerScriptService.

Also, he could use attributes instead of IntValue

Edit: It works even with localscript

#5

And he placed the script in Workspace. I guess it only works on ServerScriptService because server scripts are meant to be there anyways, and not Workspace.

And localscript would only spawn stuff for the client

#6

Its currently in the workspace

Im gonna come back to this after i get back from school

I fixed your script. I removed the value cd that you had and I placed this script in ServerScriptService so that way it handle it on the server side.

local Physics = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("PhysicsWall")
local countdownTime = 5
local respawnCooldown = 10 -- Replace this with the desired cooldown time

local function respawn()
	-- Destroy existing PhysicsWall in Workspace if it exists
	if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("PhysicsWall") then
		game.Workspace.PhysicsWall:Destroy()
	end

	-- Wait before respawning
	wait(1)

	-- Clone PhysicsWall from ReplicatedStorage and parent it to Workspace
	local clonedPhysics = Physics:Clone()
	clonedPhysics.Parent = workspace

	-- Anchor and then unanchor parts within the PhysicsWall
	for i, v in pairs(clonedPhysics:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("BasePart") then
			v.Anchored = true
			wait(2)
			v.Anchored = false
		end
	end
end

-- Main loop to handle the cooldown and respawn process
while task.wait(respawnCooldown) do
	local count = countdownTime
	for i = 1, countdownTime do
		print("Parts respawning in " .. count)
		count -= 1
		task.wait(1)
	end
	respawn()
end
