I’m fixing my plugin again, and I’ve found a new problem. The settings UI works correctly, but even with different settings enabled on my plugin, they still affect only the selected parts, and not their children or descendants. If you’re wondering, the settings are Affect Selected Only, Affect Children and Affect Descendants. Here’s my current script (I found no errors, probably just my mind)
print("Plugin Status: Running")
--Services
local selection = game:GetService("Selection") --selection
local IS = game:GetService("InsertService")
--local Model = IS:LoadAsset(ID)
local CHS = game:GetService("ChangeHistoryService")
print("Services Variables Loaded")
--GUI Variables
local gui = script:WaitForChild("PartEditor") --Gui
local open = false --Is not opened
local descendantsOnly = gui.Settings:FindFirstChild("Descendants")
local childrenOnly = descendantsOnly.Parent:FindFirstChild("Children")
local parentOnly = childrenOnly.Parent:FindFirstChild("Parent")
local chosen
local transparencybutton = gui:WaitForChild("TransparencySetter"):WaitForChild("SetTransparency") --transparency setter
local transparencytextbox = transparencybutton.Parent.ValueBox
local anchorbutton = gui:WaitForChild("AnchorSetter"):WaitForChild("SetAnchor") --anchor setter
local anchortextbox = anchorbutton.Parent.ValueBox
local collisionbutton = gui:WaitForChild("CollisionSetter"):WaitForChild("SetCollision") --collision setter
local collisiontextbox = collisionbutton.Parent.ValueBox
print("GUI Variables Loaded")

(Parent Only setting is Selected Only.) Thanks!
