#1

Is it possible to select all parts in model and anchor it with only one script. For example, I have 500 part in model and I want all of them to anchor and then unchor it after 15 second, how can I do that?

Try using for i,v in pairs()

#4

A simple example of what you can do:

local model = workspace.Model

for i, v in pairs(model:GetDescendants()) do -- this get severy single thing inside the model, for every single thing inside that model do:
if v:IsA("Part") then -- check if the child is a part
   v.Anchored = true -- v is the part
end
end

	if Descendant:IsA("BasePart") then
