Hello! I am trying to create a system that randomly spawns parts into the ocean around the map. Currently it is not working and IS NOT GIVING ANY ERRORS
Code:
local trash = game.ReplicatedStorage.Content.Trash
local blacklist = {}
local raySettings = RaycastParams.new()
raySettings.FilterDescendantsInstances = blacklist
raySettings.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
-- System:
local function selectTrash()
if #trash:GetChildren() > 0 then
return trash:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #trash:GetChildren())]
end
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
--[[ DOCUMENTATION
TrashSpawn.new( -- Used for creating rounds, and will be required very simply.
maxSpawns -- Most amount of trash found in that round
)

maxSpawns -- Most amount of trash found in that round
enabled -- (OPTIONAL): Decides whether or not the system is active, NOTE: If you are trying to disable it, use :Terminate() this is mostly just for testing purposes.
)
TrashSpawn:Inititate( -- Starts the spawning
)
TrashSpawn:Terminate( -- Ends the round early
