Hello, ive encountered a problem while trying to make a Part respawn in game after ive cloned and destroyed it.

It keeps telling me the parent property is = NUL and is locked

can anyone help?

Heres my code

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local AppleTree = game.Workspace.AppleTree
local GApple = RS.AppleTreeFruits.GoldenApple1
local AppleClone = GApple:Clone()

while true do
	wait(3)
	local function CloneFunction()
		GApple.Parent = workspace.AppleTree.Fruits
		GApple.Handle.Anchored = true
		local function PlayerTouched(Part)
			local Parent = Part.Parent
			if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Parent) then
				GApple.Handle.Anchored = false
			end
		end
		GApple.Handle.Touched:Connect(PlayerTouched)
		wait(5)  
		print("Droppped")
		GApple.Handle.Anchored = false
		local Pickedup = false
		print("Not picked up")
		task.wait(1)
		while Pickedup == false do
			wait(3) 
			Pickedup = false
			print("Gonna go now")
			GApple:Destroy()
			if GApple.Parent ~= workspace then
				Pickedup = true
				print("Picked up by a player, or just dissapeard")
			return end
		end
	end
	CloneFunction()
end

I wrapped it in a while loop because i wanted this to always keep running but it seems I’ve come across an error i cant fix on my own. any help would be great Thank you.

That’s because you aren’t cloning the object, meaning after you destroy it, you don’t have it anymore. Every time the function is called, clone GApple. Do it kind of like this local Clone = GApple:Clone() just replace every GApple with the Clone variable.
