i have a problem with my script, the enemy works fine until it respawns, once that happens it basically completely breaks, it doesn’t move or anything, it doesn’t even respawn again.

here is my code.

local EnemiesFolder = workspace.Enemies
local EnemyTable = {}
local Enemies = EnemiesFolder:GetChildren()

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Since you’re only looping through the enemies once, it will only iterate (loop) through the enemies that exist at that time.

And make sure to remove the enemy from the table after death

#3

understood sensei, i had a feeling that might have been it, do you have an idea on how i’ll get the script to refresh everything inside the folder?

#4

You could turn that loop into a function and run it when a enemy is respawned. (Suggestion)
Or in a module*

#5

understood sensei i’ll try my best and let you know how it goes

#6

okay i’ve been at it for a while now, i keep getting this error, EnemyConfig is not a valid member of Model “FakeGrazill” - Server - EnemyMain:21

please help me i’m not sure how to fix this
