Give this a go

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local gun = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("MK-18")
local gunSpawn = workspace.Spawners:WaitForChild("Spawn")

local spawned = false

while wait(5) do
	if spawned then
		spawned = false
		
		if gunSpawn:FindFirstChild(gun.Name) then
			gunSpawn[gun.Name]:Destroy()
		end
	else
		spawned = true
		
		local gunClone = gun:Clone()
		gunClone.Parent = gunSpawn
	end
end

Your gun would get deleted instantly

#24

its fixed now, i got a question on how you can use

while true do
#25

Nvm, I couldn’t read. But there is no point of adding 2 waits and checking if gun is a gun spawn.

#26

while true do loop will always run cuz the “true” will be always “true”
for example you can do smth else by :

local Test = true
while Test do -- while Test is true

end

while true do is a infinite loop. Anything in that loop would run indefinitely unless there is a yield.

Also the if statement checking if the gun is the spawner is completely useless and you can simply use :Destroy instead of using debris service.

Alright, well thank you all so much for you help guys, i really apperciate it!

no, debris is a better alternative way than :Destroy()

#31

Not in this situation. You’re not using debris to delete something after x amount of seconds so delete would be more useful.

#32

that if statement isn’t useless, cuz if we remove that statement the gun will get removed from the player’s character/backpack or anywhere else.

#33

You should use :Destroy this situation and debris service when you have to deal something like

coroutine.wrap(function()
	wait(5)
	instance:Destroy()
end)()
#34

Why are you also cloning the gunSpawn tho?

#35

I fixed that issue, dont worry lol

#36

there is no such a thing called Delete, and up there you said :Destroy not :Delete()
also up there you mentioned :Destroy() Not :Delete()

#37

Sorry im making typos but you get my point

#38

Cloning the Spawner from ReplicatedStorage.

#39

GunSpawn is in workspace not replicated storage

#40

oh ye, just realised that lol, removed the clone.

#41

Lol, so the clone isnt necessary.
