How to make Script reference multiple Models in Workspace?

I am making a “PowerOutage” System, and I am trying to make that the Script can finalizes all the Models associating in the “Lights” Folder. How would I do this?

Script:

-- PowerSystem Script
while true do
	
	local randomnumber = wait(math.random(5, 7))
	print(randomnumber)
	game.Lighting.Atmosphere.Density = 1
	game.Lighting.Atmosphere.Haze = 10
	script.PowerOff:Play()
	script.PowerOn:Play()
	workspace.Lights.LightBulb.Bulb.PointLight.Brightness = 0 -- Here
	workspace.Lights.LightBulb.Light.Transparency = 1 -- Here
		
	local randomnumber = wait(math.random(9, 20))
	print(randomnumber)
	script.PowerOn:Play()
	script.PowerOff:Stop()
	workspace.Lights.LightBulb.Bulb.PointLight.Brightness = 1 -- Here
	workspace.Lights.LightBulb.Light.Transparency = 0 -- Here
	game.Lighting.Atmosphere.Density = 0
	game.Lighting.Atmosphere.Haze = 0
end
2

Use for loops to automatically set the Lights to anything you want

3

the Workspace is displayed in this order
Workspace > Lights ← (Folder) > LightBulb ← (Model)

4 
for i, v in pairs(workspace.Lights.Folder:GetDescendants()) do -- change folder name. You can use GetChildren(), idk how your folder is organised
	if v:IsA("Model") and v.Name == "InsertModelName" then -- change model name
		--code
	end
end

Would the format look like this?


for i, v in pairs(workspace.Lights.Folder:GetDescendants()) do -- change folder name or use GetChildren(), idk how your folder is organised
	if v:IsA("Model") and v.Name == "LightBulb" then -- change model name
		--code
	end
end

while true do
	
	local randomnumber = wait(math.random(5, 7))
	print(randomnumber)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	game.Lighting.Atmosphere.Density = 1
	game.Lighting.Atmosphere.Haze = 10
	script.PowerOff:Play()
	script.PowerOn:Play()
	
	local randomnumber = wait(math.random(9, 20))
	print(randomnumber)
	script.PowerOn:Play()
	script.PowerOff:Stop()
	workspace.Lights.LightBulb.Bulb.PointLight.Brightness = 1
	workspace.Lights.LightBulb.Light.Transparency = 0
	game.Lighting.Atmosphere.Density = 0
	game.Lighting.Atmosphere.Haze = 0
	end

No, since the index’s are in the for loop. Can you show the folder and how it is organised?

for i, v in pairs(workspace.Lights:GetDescendants()) do
	if v:IsA("Model") and v.Name == "LightBulb" then
		while true do

			local randomnumber = wait(math.random(5, 7))
			print(randomnumber)
			---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
			game.Lighting.Atmosphere.Density = 1
			game.Lighting.Atmosphere.Haze = 10
			script.PowerOff:Play()
			script.PowerOn:Play()

			local randomnumber = wait(math.random(9, 20))
			print(randomnumber)
			script.PowerOn:Play()
			script.PowerOff:Stop()
			v.Bulb.PointLight.Brightness = 1
			v.Light.Transparency = 0
			game.Lighting.Atmosphere.Density = 0
			game.Lighting.Atmosphere.Haze = 0
		end
	end
end

oh yeah not to mention the

Blockquote ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- is where the Lighting Brightness and Transparency goes.

This is my Script:

-- PowerSystem Script


while true do
	
	for i, v in pairs(workspace.Lights:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("Model") and v.Name == "LightBulb" then
			while true do

				local randomnumber = wait(math.random(5, 7))
				print(randomnumber)
				v.Bulb.PointLight.Brightness = 0
				v.Light.Transparency = 1
				game.Lighting.Atmosphere.Density = 1
				game.Lighting.Atmosphere.Haze = 10
				script.PowerOff:Play()
				script.PowerOn:Play()

				local randomnumber = wait(math.random(9, 20))
				print(randomnumber)
				script.PowerOn:Play()
				script.PowerOff:Stop()
				v.Bulb.PointLight.Brightness = 1
				v.Light.Transparency = 0
				game.Lighting.Atmosphere.Density = 0
				game.Lighting.Atmosphere.Haze = 0
			end
		end
	end
end

just copy paste the script that i sent, the while loop is already in the for loop

15

yeah but the light won’t turn on and off tho

16

i think it might be because of your random wait

17

@yoshicoolTV that is not the case I just got rid of the random waits and no affect happened

18

I am honestly not sure why its not working

19

would you like the kit so you mess around with it?

yea i think that would be better
