In pairs loop not destroying all parts

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to destroy all parts after a remote event, but not all got destroyed.

for i,v in pairs (workspace:GetChildren()) do
		if v.Name == "Clones" then
			print("Total")
		end
	end
	remote.OnServerEvent:Wait()
	for i,v in pairs (workspace:GetChildren()) do
		if v.Name == "Clones" then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
	
	for i,v in pairs (workspace:GetChildren()) do
		if v.Name == "Clones" then
			print("Not destroyed")
		end
	end
	print("Fired")
	wait(20)
	game.ReplicatedStorage.Timestart:FireAllClients()
	print("Firedclients")

Total printed 780x, while Not destroyed printed 660x.
TL;DR : I have 780 parts that want to be destroyed, but only 120 got destroyed.

#2

maybe

for i,v in pairs (workspace:GetDescendants ( )) do
    pcall(function()
        v:Destroy()
    end)
end

to Destroy every thing in workspace

#3

Oh, sorry for not clarifying, I only wanted to destroy parts named “Clones” in workspace

#4

well that is either cause the clones don’t exist in workspace or you just misspelled the spellings

#5

But it already is named clones in the workspace. and I didnt misspelled it

#6

welp then it use prints to see where it stops

#7

It runs perfectly well, but only 120 parts named clones got destroyed. So not all parts named clones got destroyed like I wanted to.

#8

i see what happening here

	for i,v in pairs (workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if v.Name == "Clones" then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
	
	for i,v in pairs (workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if v.Name == "Clones" then
			print("Not destroyed")
		end
	end
#11

It prints Clonesis destroyd (x780), but I see some that arent destroyed

#12

Under it, from this code
‘’’
for i,v in pairs (workspace:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name == “Clones” then
print(“Not destroyed”)
end
end
‘’’
prints Not destroyed (x660)

#13

Pairs are for dictionaries, not arrays.
Maybe it would destroy all parts if you changed pairs to ipairs.

For example:

for i,v in ipairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
    if v.Name == "Clones" then
        v:Destroy()
    end
end

pairs and iPairs

#14

It is still the same result as before

#15

can you please send us your game file so i can see what is wrong

#16

do you somehow add “Clones” named parts when game starts or something like that

Edit: Like script which adds it

#17

Not at all, It still is named “Clones”

#18

can you try this and tell me if it happenes again

while true do
   for i,v in ipairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
    if v.Name == "Clones" then
        v:Destroy()
    end
end
wait()
end
#19

or maybe

repeat
for i,v in ipairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
    if v.Name == "Clones" then
        v:Destroy()
    end
end
until not workspace:FindFirstChild("Cloned")
#20

I got the same result as before

#21

can you please send us the whole script?

#22

ipairs and pairs kinda work the same btw
