How do I update the parts in the model?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a model. Another models are added to this model after some time. But when I use loop, it sees 0 items. How do I fix this? I know about the ChildAdded function, but I can’t figure out where to put it

The added parts are visible in this model in workspace for me etc. But the SCRIPT doesn’t see them

this script does not output " print(1), it thinks that there are 0 details"

for _, v in pairs(game.Workspace.Bottles:GetDescendants()) do
	print(1)
	if v:IsA("BasePart") then
		v.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
			print(2)
			local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
			if Player and Player ~= nil then
				Player.leaderstats.Money.Value = Player.leaderstats.Money.Value + v.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('IntValue').Value
				v.Parent:Destroy()
			end
		end)
	end
end

the script should be able to see it, it probably just didnt load in. In that case just use ChildAdded or WaitForChild if you have a specific part that needs to be loaded in

Instance | Roblox Creator Documentation works like this:

Bottles.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
  -- the rest of your script
end)

For loops only run once if they’re only called once, meaning you need an event to trigger them.

Okay, but when I write the childadded function, my script stops functioning, because the Touched function is embedded there, and it will only work when a new part is added to the model

i made that:

BottlesFolder.ChildAdded:Connect(function()
for _, v in pairs(game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Bottles", true):GetDescendants()) do
	print(1)
	if v:IsA("BasePart") then
		v.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
			print(2)
			local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
			if Player and Player ~= nil then
				Player.leaderstats.Money.Value = Player.leaderstats.Money.Value + v.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('IntValue').Value
				v.Parent:Destroy()
			end
		end)
	end
	end
end)

I’m not really sure why that wouldn’t work. The .ChildAdded event doesn’t regulate the .Touched event, meaning if a Bottle is in the array that the for loop is running through and has been touched the event will fire regardless of if a new child has been added.

Why are you not using BottlesFolder for the for loop? Also why are you declaring true in the for loop?

you can get rid of the for loop and just use the rest of your code when there is a child added instead of looping through everything, because the loaded parts already have touch listeners from the previous ChildAdded events

I thought I should use the for loop to find out all the details in the model and use them in the touch event, but it looks I was wrong

Yes, it worked after I removed the for loop and added what you said, thank you
