How Do I Clone Parts?

I’m trying to make a delivery system that awards players cash when they deliver the box but I’m having trouble cloning the box after players deliver their box, how would I do this?

Thanks, but after awhile the original box is removed from the workspace and the game says “Box is not a valid member of workspace” how do I stop this from happening?

Have a box in ServerStorage or ReplicatedStorage that never gets removed to clone from instead.

EDIT: so you would clone from the box in ServerStorage instead of the one in workspace

Can you explain this better? Are you trying to get a NEW box? If you’re trying to make a part of a script not error out, you could do

local sucess, ErrorMsg = pcall(function()
–whatever
end)

sucess is true if the script has run without any problems, and errormsg is the error message, if there is one. then you can do

if not sucess and ErrorMsg then print(ErrorMsg) --or warn() end)

I want the box to spawn again after a while so players can deliver it again

Ok, If you didn’t know this, if you refer to a variable well, look:

local box = game.Workspace.Box

right?

ok. If that box get’s deleted, this box argument will be NIL. It won’t try to find another box.

That object does not exist anymore.

You might wanna have different names for those boxes;

or set the variable again. Check if it’s nil

so

if box == nil then
box = game.Workspace.Box
end

Trying to do what I said was wrong, it’s basically trying to do

local value = workspace.IntValue.Value

this variable would only be the object that it was when it got checked for it. And you coudn’t do
value = value + 1, that woudnt change the iNTVALUE.VALUE that would replace the variable with +1 added

If you’re okay with it alright.

Here it is

local original = game.ReplicatedStorage.Box

local copy = original:Clone()

copy.Parent = original.Parent

copy:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(51.432, 1.2, -3.084))

wait(5)

print(“Box Duped”)

the Box is in replicated storage

It prints the box has been duped but no box appears

#12

first of all, if replicated storage it’s always it’s location, then don’t do ORIGINAL.PARENT. do game.ReplicatedStorage.
does the original get removed after some time?

edit 1: nvm i thought about something else

#13

I want it to appear in the workspace

#14

then you need to say clone.Parent = workspace

since the original one IT’S NOT on workspace.
So really, it’s just creating a clone inside of replicated storage.
