like Clone(4)

4 meaning 4 of the same objects.

I don’t think it exists, but you can use for. for i=1,v = 4 do --stuff to do end
i=1 means it will start counting with 1 so : 1,2,3,4; if you put 0 it will do like this: 0,1,2,3,4 so five times v how you surely already got is the number of times you repeat the action. EDIT: You should explain your problem better, else many people wont understand.

No that doesn’t exist in Lua, you will have to create a for loop like what jcnruad900 has said.

for i = 1, 4, 1 do
    local clone = workspace.Part:Clone()
    clone.Parent = workspace
    clone.Name = "Part"
end

It can just be as simple as this, where each increment the loop goes is when it clones the part. Here is a for loop article for more information: For Loops And here is a clone article as well: Clone()

Also another thing to note is to search things before posting topics on the developer forum because this could have been answered from these articles.

there isnt anything like that, you can achieve this with either for loops or while loops;

While loops (I won’t recommend this but its also useful);

local start = 0; -- This is your starting position
local amnt = 4; -- Number of times it will clone

while start < amnt do
Model:Clone();
Model.Parent = workspace;
start = start + 1;
end

For Loops;

local amnt = 4 --Number of times it will clone

for i = 1, amnt, 1 do
Model:Clone();
Model.Parent = workspace;
end
