I,v in pairs loop not going through all of a table

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So im making a sticky launcher where you can fire stickies and detonate them all at once.
My problem is the fact that I dont think my i,v in pairs loop is not going through all of the Stickies table, which leads to…

not all of them exploding.
I have tried doing an i = 1, #Stickies, 1 do loop and putting in local v = Stickies[1] which did nothing.
I have no idea on how to fix this, I’ve looked for solutions on dev forum already but to no avail.
And here is the section of code that I’m talking about

for i,v in pairs(Stickies) do
	local Explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
	Explosion.BlastPressure = 500000
	Explosion.BlastRadius = 8
	Explosion.Position = v.Position
	Explosion.DestroyJointRadiusPercent = 0
	Explosion.Parent = workspace
	Explosion.Hit:Connect(function(touchpart)
		if touchpart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			touchpart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):TakeDamage(35 / 6)
		end
	end)
	local SoundPart = Instance.new("Part")
	SoundPart.Size = Vector3.new(0.01, 0.01, 0.01)
	SoundPart.Anchored = true
	SoundPart.CanCollide = false
	SoundPart.Transparency = 1
	SoundPart.Position = v.Position
	SoundPart.Parent = workspace
	local Sound = explodesounds[math.random(1, #explodesounds)]:Clone()
	Sound.Parent = SoundPart
	Sound:Play()
	game.Debris:AddItem(SoundPart, 7)
	print(Stickies)
	print(i)
	table.remove(Stickies, i)
	v:Destroy()
end

Have you tried using ipairs? It’s the table iterator.

#3

nope, still didnt explode all of them at a time

#4

It’s because you’re removing them while you’re iterating. Clear the table after iteration.

	print(Stickies)
	print(i)
end

while #Stickies > 0 do
	table.remove(Stickies, #Stickies)
	#Stickies:Destroy()
end
