Selecting All Children And Teleporting Them One By One?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello!

I’m basically trying to get all children of a model (All children have the same names) to teleport somewhere. I know how to do that, I just don’t know how to add a delay between each children’s teleportation. How do I do it?

(In this situation, I want the children aka the parts to teleport to the player’s HumanoidRootPart)

just simply add a wait before each cycle ends.

for i loop do
--Code here
wait(.1) -- change the interval
end

Yeah but if I use something like this… (Just an example)

for _, v in pairs (game.workspace:GetDescendants())do
   if v.Name == 'Part' then
       v.CFrame= Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
   end
end

I’ll teleport them all at once, which I don’t want. I want to teleport them one by one. How do I do it?

…As i’ve said… Add a wait…

for _, v pairs loop do
--Code
wait(.1)-- change this interval
end

Wait how will I select all children? (Sorry, I’ve just never used that before)

#6 
for _, v in pairs (game.workspace:GetDescendants())do
   if v.Name == 'Part' then
       v.CFrame= Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
   end

   wait(.1)
end

I’d suggest you start learning scripting, as alot of people aren’t willing to babyfeed code.

ipairs is used for arrays, GetDescendants() returns an array, and ipairs runs faster in this case.
pairs is more used for dictionaries.

Also, if you assign it to a local variable, it will speed it up even more.

Here’s an example:

local Workspace = game:GetService('Workspace')
local GetDescendants = Workspace:GetDescendants()

for _, Inside in ipairs(GetDescendants) do
   if Inside:IsA('BasePart') then
      --- Teleport the parts
      Inside.CFrame = NewCFrame
   end
end
