Help with Table

[Input1080 (Input)]

I am trying to call a inserted item inside a table to be called back out and parented back into the Workspace of the game. But I keep getting errors.

Picture of Item Setup:

Line in my script that inserts items into table:

local StoredPurchase = {}

for _,Item in pairs(Purchase:GetChildren()) do
	table.insert(StoredPurchase, Item)

	Item:Destroy()
end

Line in my script that im trying to reinsert into Workspace:

for _,Item in pairs(StoredPurchase) do
		if Item.Name == ButtonName then
			Item.Parent = Purchase
		end
	end

@Input1080

Item:Destroy()

You destroy the item, causing it to not be able to be reparented.

But. Why would that matter? Because it stored a copy of the item into the table.

[Kaid3n22 (Kaiden)]

If you wanted it like that, you would probably have to use a clone of the item. Inserting the item into a table doesn’t create a whole new item, rather puts a reference of the item into a table, making destroying it equivalent to destroying the item inside of the table.

It didn’t store a copy in the table, it stored a reference to the object. Whatever you do to the object, it will be referenced in the table.
