Hello, I am trying to make a spawner script but every time I move it from ReplicatedStorage to workspace it spams with errors and does not spawn the parts I want it to spawn.
-- Values and stuff:
local trash = game.ReplicatedStorage.Content.Trash
local blacklist = {}
local raySettings = RaycastParams.new()
raySettings.FilterDescendantsInstances = blacklist
raySettings.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
-- System:
local function selectTrash()
return trash:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #trash:GetChildren())]
end
local function getTrashToCollect()
local lb = 0 -- Make a new value
for _,trash in pairs(workspace.World.Trash:GetChildren()) do -- Loop thru the trash
lb += trash:GetAttribute("Weight") / 2 -- Add weight
end
--[[workspace.Terrain.WaterColor = Color3.fromRGB(2, 54, 20):Lerp(Color3.fromRGB(20, 89, 95), game.ReplicatedStorage.TrashCollected.Value / lb)
workspace.Terrain.WaterTransparency = 0.25 * (game.ReplicatedStorage.TrashCollected.Value / lb)]]
lb = math.round(lb)
return lb -- Return it
end

It’s probably because when you move the boat to workspace, there is nothing left in the folder so its 0. You cant do math.random(1, 0) so maybe you can add a check so that if there is nothing in the folder it will ignore it.
Then I think @SaturdayScandal has answered your question. When you move the boat to workspace, there is nothing in the Trash Folder, so the amount of items in the Folder will be 0. The second argument in math.random cannot be 0, so it gets error. Hope this help you.
(Edit: please mark this as solution so other developers can refer to it when they have similar problems)
