script.Parent:Destroy() not working

**script.Parent:Destroy() is not working in a script I made for cars on a highway.

This is the script that is inside of the car (Serverside not local)

local carspawns = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Roads:WaitForChild("CarSpawns")
local car = script.Parent
local endvalue = car:WaitForChild("end")
local driving = car:WaitForChild("driving")
driving:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	if driving.Value == true then
		for i = 0, 5, 0.001 do
			car.CFrame = car.CFrame:Lerp(carspawns["Endpos"..endvalue.Value].CFrame, i)
			wait()
		end
		script.Parent:Destroy()
	end
end)

All they do is pile on instead of deleting themselves as shown in the photovisual representation below:

Is there anything I have to change for them to be deleted? I have tried making a part that destroys whatever touches it at the end of the highway, but that did not work either.

Put print in the script.Parent:Destroy() Line

I put print before and after the destroy line but it had no output

Is the for loop working?This text will be blurred

The for loop works because it moves the car from point 1 to point 2 on the road using a lerp loop, and there are not any errors

The loop does end right?This text will be blurred

Could you show your explorer? (30 :expressionless: )

8

the loop probably neverends?
add a print after

That’s what I’m thinking too :I

I just changed the increment value to a higher number. The loop ends and the parent is destroyed but now the lerp looks wicked, and the parent takes forever to get destroyed

12

What’s your main goal?

I actually just found a way to get the cars to have a good looking lerp with this:

if i >= 0.1 then
	script.Parent:Destroy()
end

However I am getting this error every time now:

Maybe cause you are destroying it even if it has already been destroyed

15

I only have a single destroy function in the script

16

Is it being destroyed :IThis text will be blurred

Maybe it goes to the void? It shouldn’t be nil.

The parent of car is script.Parent and driving is a child to car. How can this function ever return anything at all when it destroys itself internally here:

script.Parent:Destroy()
