How can I put more than one name in a FindFirstChild?

Well I don’t know if anything can be done so that more than one name can be put in a FindFirstChild, but I tried and it didn’t work …

local Touch = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Touch
local ButtonPress = false
local ButtonPress2 = false
local Proximity = script.Parent

Touch.Touched:connect(function(p)
	ButtonPress = true
	ButtonPress2 = false
	if p.Parent:FindFirstChild("Card", "Esposas") ~= nil then
		Proximity.Enabled = true
	end
end)

This isn’t possible, the second parameter defines whether or not to search for descendants (recursive)

You can use this function or make your own.

local function findMultipleChilds(instanceToSearch,useRecursive,...)
	local namesToFind = {...}
	local foundObjects = {}
	for i, name in pairs(namesToFind) do
		table.insert(foundObjects,instanceToSearch:FindFirstChild(name,useRecursive))
	end
	return foundObjects,#namesToFind
end
--in your code
local foundObjects,numberOfNamesToFind= findMultipleChilds(p.Parent,false,"Card", "Esposas")
	if #foundObjects == numberOfNamesToFind then
		Proximity.Enabled = true
	end
