How could I make a script that would remove every script from the children of a model?

[jahoobas]

So, in my game, I used to have the scripts VERY messy and there are over a thousand copies of scripts in a bunch of parts inside a model. If you could help, it would be good.

1. What do you want to achieve? I have over a thousand parts, each of which have a script (not a virus) and I would like to remove every last one of them.

2. What is the issue? I just don’t know how to write this.

3. What solutions have you tried so far? I havent really tried anything because I do not know where to start and what to do.

If you can help, it will help me a lot.

See:

ClearAllChildrenOfClass / ClearAllDescendantsOfClass

That code is written with bad practice, it does pre-condition checks each iteration and for some reason allows the function to run at all with invalid className, and checks className but not parent. Also when iterating arrays, ipairs should be used for clarity, and you can use _ in place of unused vars. For future readers, this is the production version of above: function ClearAllChildrenOfClass(parent, className) assert(typeof(parent) == "Instance", "parent is not an Instance") assert(typeo…

This’ll clear for one instance. You can use a loop across all the instances you want to target and then call a relevant function to clear instances of that type.

for _, desc in ipairs(model:GetDescendants()) do
if (desc:IsA(“Script”)) then
desc:Destroy()
end
