Hi, devforum. I wanted to make one of a swarm of object(for example: pets)'s bodypositoin to be at a part when I click on the part. The problem is i’m stuck on the pets part. Idk how I make only one pet go to the part. :sob: :man_facepalming:

Here’s the code:

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
	local hrp = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	local pets = hrp:FindFirstChild("pet1","pet2","pet3","pet4","pet5")--this line of code is cringeeeeee
	pets.BodyPosition.Position = script.Parent.Position
end)
2 
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
	local hrp = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	for i,v in pairs(hrp:GetChildren()) do
        if v.Name:lower():find('pet') then
            v.BodyPosition.Position = script.Parent.Position
        end
    end
	pets.BodyPosition.Position = script.Parent.Position
end)

FindFirstChild takes one argument and returns one instance whereas :GetChildren returns all of the children of a specific instance.

Oh, must have skipped over that part, it was 4 am when I wrote that haha.

Do you want to randomly choose one from the pets?

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
	local hrp = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	local pets = hrp:GetChildren()
    pets = pets[math.random(1, #pets)]
	pets.BodyPosition.Position = script.Parent.Position
end)
