I get an error when trying to enable point light in attachments

I get this error: Invalid argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got Instance)

Here’s the code:

for i, v in pairs(Reactor) do
		v.ReactorLight1.Attachment.PointLight.Enabled = true
	end

Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

If you want to get the Items inside the Object, you use Instance:GetChildren() for the Direct Children, But for All Children, you use Instance:GetDescendants(), What this will do is return an Array of Instances that are Parented under the Object, In other words, Gives you a table.

So It should be Reactor:GetChildren() or Reactor:GetDescendants()

I get this error: Attachment is not a valid member of Attachment "Workspace.Reactor.ReactorLight1.Attachment"

Make sure you check if the Object Exists using :FindFirstChild(), which should Prevent this error from Occuring

local obj = v.ReactorLight1:FindFirstChild("Attachment")

if obj then
    -- code
end
