part1.Parent.Aligns:FindFirstChild("Head_"..part1.Name).Enabled = false

part1’s name is Left_Arm

and this is what it is supposed to disable

Head_Left_Arm

2

string(“Head_”…part1.Name)

try that, ik it might seem excessive, not sure if it works but try

3

What is the actual result? Do you get an attempt to index nil with 'Enabled' error? Does it disable the wrong Instance? Try to see what it’s searching for:

print(string.format("Head_%s", part1.Name))
4

Yeah it errors “attempt to index nil with enabled”, and this is what your script printed
Head_Left_Arm

5

Does the item exist at runtime or does it load in first

6

umm, what does that mean?

aweaeawe

7

Does the Instance always exist when the script runs (it’s in by default), or does it get added in by something while the game is running

8

no, its there in the workspace without scripts adding it

9

It even thinks that other instances don’t exist, like a simple no collide constraint.

part1.Parent.NoCollides:FindFirstChild(“Head_Left_Arm”).Enabled = false

the names are exactly the same

i renamed a few things and it works now
