Trying to get 1 child from :GetChildren()

[eko33550]

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

1. What do you want to achieve? I’m trying to get 1 child from :GetChildren()

2. What is the issue? I can’t figure out how i can get 1 since everytime i try it gets multiple

3. What solutions have you tried so far? I’ve looked almost everywhere and i can’t seem to find a fix.

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

local enabled = true
local checking = false

while task.wait(math.random(5,14)) do
	if math.random(1,10) ~= 10 then
		for _, v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
			if checking == false then
				if v.Name ~= "GoldenSlapple" and v.Name ~= "Ground" then
				checking = true
				enabled = true
				local glove = v
				v.Glove.Transparency = 0
				v.HandleLight.Transparency = 0
				v.Glove.PointLight.Enabled = true

				for _, a in pairs(v:GetChildren()) do
					if a:IsA("Texture") then
						a.Transparency = .1
					end
				end
				checking = false

				v.Glove.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
					if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and enabled == true then
						game:GetService("Players"):FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name).leaderstats.Slaps.Value += math.random(1,10)
						enabled = false
						v.Glove.Transparency = 1
						v.HandleLight.Transparency = 1
						v.Glove.PointLight.Enabled = false
						v.Sound:Play()

						for _, a in pairs(v:GetChildren()) do
							if a:IsA("Texture") then
								a.Transparency = 1 
							end
						end
					end

				end)

			end
			end

	else
		for _, v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
			if v.Name ~= "Slapple" and v.Name ~= "Ground" then 
				enabled = true
				local glove = v
				v.Glove.Transparency = 0
				v.HandleLight.Transparency = 0
				v.Glove.PointLight.Enabled = true
				v.Attachment.Flare.Enabled = true

						v.Sound:Play()

								a.Transparency = 1 
							end
						end
					end

				end)

			end

	end
end

Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.

:GetChildren() returns a table. You can index an item by a number in square brackets.
Like this:

local anything = idontcare:GetChildren()[1]

[Skinogodest]

You Can use findfirstchild(“child.name”)

[Wigglyaa]

To get a single child you could:

--if you know the name
local child = target:FindFirstChild("nameofchild")

--if you know the specific type
local child = target:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("texture")

--if you just want the first thing it finds
local child = target:GetChildren()[1]

--loop with a break 
local child
for i, v in target:GetChildren() do
    if v:IsA("texture") then
        child = v
        break
    end
 end
if child then
    --do something 
else
    print("no textures found")
end

If you want just a random one, do local List = script.Parent:GetChildren() local ChosenObject = List[math.random(1,#List)]

[hellohennessy (Nameless)]

GetChildren()[math.random(1, 10)]
