Script for regening on damage doesn't work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

This script has a function that detects a broken weld, and regens the whole ship. However, nothing happens.

function delet()
    connection:Disconnect()
    wait(0.5)
local shipparent = script.Parent.Parent
local name = script.Parent.name
local clone = script.Parent:Clone()
script.Parent:Remove()
clone.name = name
clone.Parent = shipparent
end
connection = script.Parent.ChildRemoved:Connect(delet)

Try disconnecting the signal after you run the code instead of before it.

What do you mean by that? Sorry, I’m not too familiar with the terminology.

Move this method:

connection:Disconnect()

To the bottom of the delet() function above end and below clone.Parent = shipparent

Like this?

    wait(0.5)
local shipparent = script.Parent.Parent
local name = script.Parent
local clone = script.Parent:Clone()
script.Parent:Remove()
clone.name = name
connection:Disconnect()
clone.Parent = shipparent

end
connection = script.Parent.ChildRemoved:Connect(delet)```
It's not working.

Yeah pretty much but make it more arranged like this. Readability is key.

function delet()
    wait(0.5)

    local shipparent = script.Parent.Parent
    local name = script.Parent.name
    local clone = script.Parent:Clone()
    clone.name = name
    clone.Parent = shipparent

    script.Parent:Remove()
    connection:Disconnect()
end
connection = script.Parent.ChildRemoved:Connect(delet)

Still not working :frowning:

Where’s the script located? Can you take a screenshot where it’s at?

It’s a child of the ship’s model.

Is it a local or server script?

Server script. I previously used a similar one to delete planes when they are damaged.

If you add a print statement in there does it print?

I set it to print “honk” but nothing shows up.
