Help with a Viewport Frame

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So, I have a viewport frame script that puts in a certain object when you select something (basically when the gui pops up). one problem, the object doesnt appear in the viewport frame (although its parented under it.). The thing that baffles me the most is that a script thats almost the same works for a gui that always appears. heres my function for the viewport frame.
The reason It creates a new clone of the object every .1 seconds is for the animation.


local function ChangeViewport(towerName)
	repeat
		wait()
	until game:IsLoaded()
	local run = game:GetService("RunService")
	local debris = game:GetService("Debris")
	local tower = nil
	if towerName ~= "Unit" then
		tower = towerName.Config.OriginalTower.Value
		local anim = game.Workspace.ViewportFrames[tower].Humanoid:LoadAnimation(game.Workspace.ViewportFrames[tower].Animations.Idle)
		anim.Looped = true
		anim:Play()
	end

	while wait(0.1) do
		if tower then
			if game.Workspace.ViewportFrames[tower] then
				local children = game.Workspace.ViewportFrames[tower]:Clone()
				for i,v in pairs(children:GetChildren()) do
					if v:IsA("Part") or v:IsA("MeshPart") then
						v.Anchored = true
					end
				end
				children.Parent = script.Parent.Selection.TowerViewport
				debris:AddItem(children, 0.11)
			end
		else
			return
		end
	end
end

If the Viewport frame is parented under a SurfaceGui that is a descendant of workspace objects won’t show up unless you place the SurfaceGui in StarterGui with its Adornee set to the part you want the SurfaceGui to be on.

Heres is an example.

I have it inside a frame, that is inside a screengui. I shouldve clarified that.
