Right now I’m trying to make a simple mining game so me and my friends can play and mess around in it. Currently I’ve done a decent amount of work, I’ve gotten generation and a mining (bad) system, plus the actual like leaderstat for blocks mined.
Now I’ve realized that having clickdetectors and scripts in EVERY SINGLE BLOCK is not the best or greatest idea, so I’m trying to rebrand it if you get what I mean.
My friend said to use an advanced loop in ServerScriptService, so all I have right now is just:
for _,v in workspace.Cubes:GetChildren() and workspace.Cubes.Generated:GetChildren() do
--function
end
I’ve looked all around the DevForum and while I got my mining system and all that from here, I can’t find anything for the pickaxe system and now I’m here to ask what I would do to make it like that. There is a Youtube tutorial that I tried but it lowkey sucked and I tried to see if I could make anything with a little research and I ended up entirely breaking my game soooooo.
If you want to know what I mean and what I’m trying to make play REx: Reincarnated that’s the only reason I’m making this so then I can get some of my friends and myself off of it for like a day at least (I’m playing it as I’m writing and making the game).
Uhh here’s this other script that’s important except it’s been like a month since I’ve touched this game and I don’t know what is meant to be what half this stuff might be redundant I don’t know.

Thank you to any goats who help me out you’ll get your own ore 
it won’t be exceptional though just saying
