GetChildren() only gets 1 child

I made something that changes the properties of all parts in a model, but it only does it for 1 child. And I can’t seem to find the solution.

for i,v in pairs(Tiles.ChosenTiles:GetChildren()) do
				
	if TileEffect == "Cheesed" then
		v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(230, 200, 80)
	elseif TileEffect == "Greased" then
		v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(102, 63, 50)
		v.Material = "Slate"
	elseif TileEffect == "Spawner" then
		v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(122, 190, 227)
	elseif TileEffect == "Munitions" then
		v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 106, 0)
	elseif TileEffect == "Radiation" then
		v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 0)
		v.Material = "Neon"
	elseif TileEffect == "Stars" then
		v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(29, 29, 29)
	end
	wait(20)
	v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(163, 162, 165)
	v.Material = "SmoothPlastic"
				
end

It’s because of the wait(20) in your code, it makes a change to one part and then waits 20 seconds before changing the part again and going to the next part. I think your solution would be to coroutine it

for _,v in pairs(Tiles.ChosenTiles:GetChildren()) do
	coroutine.wrap(function()			
		if TileEffect == "Cheesed" then
			v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(230, 200, 80)
		elseif TileEffect == "Greased" then
			v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(102, 63, 50)
			v.Material = "Slate"
		elseif TileEffect == "Spawner" then
			v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(122, 190, 227)
		elseif TileEffect == "Munitions" then
			v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 106, 0)
		elseif TileEffect == "Radiation" then
			v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 0)
			v.Material = "Neon"
		elseif TileEffect == "Stars" then
			v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(29, 29, 29)
		end
		wait(20)
		v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(163, 162, 165)
		v.Material = "SmoothPlastic"
	end)()			
end

I know this has been solved, but I’d (personally) use a delay function here, over coroutines. Just another option when you run into things like this :slight_smile:

for i,v in pairs(Tiles.ChosenTiles:GetChildren()) do	
	if TileEffect == "Cheesed" then
		v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(230, 200, 80)
	elseif TileEffect == "Greased" then
		v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(102, 63, 50)
		v.Material = "Slate"
	elseif TileEffect == "Spawner" then
		v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(122, 190, 227)
	elseif TileEffect == "Munitions" then
		v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 106, 0)
	elseif TileEffect == "Radiation" then
		v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 0)
		v.Material = "Neon"
	elseif TileEffect == "Stars" then
		v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(29, 29, 29)
	end
	
	delay(20, function()
		v.Color = Color3.fromRGB(163, 162, 165)
		v.Material = "SmoothPlastic"
	end)	
end
