How to get only the current part? (idk if this explains)

So, im making a gun system like Isle and this is my 3 topic about it, uh
So, i need to get a part that gets cloned to the workspace, but if i get one i cant get the others cuz it will break the system, so how would i make it so that i can get every one that goes in workspace

idk if i explained this well cuz idk how to explain it

The script

local tool = script.Parent
local remote = tool:WaitForChild("OnShoot")
local shoot_part = tool:WaitForChild("FirePart")
local Attaches = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Shoot")

local Shooting = false

tool.OnShoot.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, target)
	local targetpart = target
	if targetpart:IsA("BasePart") and targetpart.Parent:FindFirstChild("ZombieNoid") then
		if not Shooting then
			Shooting = true
			local hu = targetpart.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			Attaches:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace
			wait(0.2)
			local bullet = game.Workspace.Shoot
			bullet.Attach1.Position = shoot_part.Position
			bullet.Attach2.Position = hu.Position
			wait(3)
			Shooting = false
		end
	end
end)

So from my understanding you want to refer to a cloned Instance?
If so then you could just make a new variable like this:

clonedPart = originalPart:Clone()
clonedPart.Parent = workspace
-- etc.

Do correct me if I’m wrong!

but then cloned part will always be that one right? or it will change each time it clones

You want to clone multiple parts? I guess it would be possible if you could somehow have them under something like a table or folder, then you could use a for loop, like this:

local partsTable = {part1,part2,part3}

for index,value in pairs(partsTable) do -- if this doesnt work try partsTable:GetCHildren(), i dont remember which it is :P
    local clonePart = v:Clone()
end

i dont want to clone multiple parts, only one that clones to the workspace multiple times when a player uses the gun, for a gun system
Sorry if that sounded a bit mean i didnt find other way to say

Don’t worry about sounding aggressive, it’s my fault for repeatedly misinterpreting you!
So you want to clone one part multiple times? Could you confirm I got this right?

Edit: If so, you could just try this:

local count = 0
repeat
    -- this is where youd clone the part
count+=1
until count == 5 -- this is how many times you want the script to run
#7 
workspace.ChildAdded:Connect(function(newChild)
	if newChild.Name == "" then --some expected name
		--do some code
	end
end)

I believe this might be what you’re looking for. Change the text inside the quotes.

#8 
local tool = script.Parent
local remote = tool:WaitForChild("OnShoot")
local shoot_part = tool:WaitForChild("FirePart")
local Attaches = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Shoot")

local Shooting = false

tool.OnShoot.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, target)
	local targetpart = target
	if targetpart:IsA("BasePart") and targetpart.Parent:FindFirstChild("ZombieNoid") then
		if not Shooting then
			Shooting = true
			local hu = targetpart.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			Attaches:Clone().Parent = game.Workspace
			workspace.ChildAdded:Connect(function(newChild)
				if newChild.Name == "" then --some expected name
					--do some code
				end
			end)
			wait(0.2)
			local bullet = game.Workspace.Shoot
			bullet.Attach1.Position = shoot_part.Position
			bullet.Attach2.Position = hu.Position
			wait(3)
			Shooting = false
		end
	end
end)

I’ve added it into the code, I believe this is where you want it although you may want it somewhere else.
