i’m trying to make a balloon tool that lets you summon 5 balloons but i dont know how to make the balloons destroy after a couple of seconds. i tried adding Destroy() but it wouldnt get rid of new balloons. here is my script: local rope
script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,target,hit)
BalloonAmount -= 1
end
if BalloonAmount < 1 then
script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end
else
rope = nil
att0 = nil
att1 = nil
if newRope ~= nil then
newRope:Destroy()
newRope = nil
end
end
end)

chapper:
local att0
script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,target,hit)
please format this the same way as here:

I sadly can’t help you like that.
How do I format it like that? it automatically did that
its done using " ``` " i think
like
--example
Also, i think it’ll help if you do a delay function as
delay(Time,function()
Ballloon_instance:Destroy()
end

yea you use:
(I cant do it because then it will format it:code
```lua
where do i add the delay thing?
local rope
script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,target,hit)
BalloonAmount -= 1
end
if BalloonAmount < 1 then
script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end
else
rope = nil
att0 = nil
att1 = nil
if newRope ~= nil then
newRope:Destroy()
newRope = nil
end
end
end)
im having trouble reading your code, you are trying to delete the balloons after a certain amount of time yes?

This would be the formatted code:
local rope
local att0,att1
local newRope
local BV
local NewBalloon
local BalloonAmount = 5
script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,target,hit)
if rope == nil then
if target == nil then return end
if target:IsA("Sky") or target:IsA("Atmosphere") or target == nil or target.Name == "Baseplate" then return end
if (script.Parent.Parent.Parent.BalloonTool.Handle.String.Position - target.Position).Magnitude > 30 then return end
BV = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
rope = Instance.new("RopeConstraint")
att0,att1 = Instance.new("Attachment"),Instance.new("Attachment")
NewBalloon = script.Parent.Parent.Handle:Clone()
att0.Parent = target
att1.Parent = NewBalloon.String
rope.Visible = true
rope.Parent = NewBalloon.String
rope.Attachment0 = att0
rope.Attachment1 = att1
rope.Length = (script.Parent.Parent.Parent.BalloonTool.Handle.String.Position - target.Position).Magnitude
BV.Parent = NewBalloon
BV.Parent.BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 10, 0)
BV.Parent.BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge,math.huge,math.huge)
BV.Parent.BodyVelocity.P = 3000
NewBalloon.Name = "Balloon"
NewBalloon.Parent = workspace.Map
BalloonAmount -= 1
if BalloonAmount < 1 then
script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end
else
rope = nil
att0 = nil
att1 = nil
if newRope ~= nil then
newRope:Destroy()
newRope = nil
end
end
end)

Yeah, i tried doing this
wait(8)
but if i added a new balloon, the old ones wouldnt be deleted/destroyed.

Okayski now lets get to fixin ur issue:
local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")
Debris:AddItem(NewBalloon,10) --the number is the lifetime
Sorry for my unformal writing I’m feeling kinda funny today

I know this topic is solved - but you should really have a look at Functions (hyperlink) and try improving your code! I think it would make it easier for yourself to find fixes on your own!
