Trying to put caterpillar models in slots

im trying to assign thumbnails to my slots right. i have common, uncommon and rare caterpillars which you can buy from the shop. i have intValues which show me how much commons, uncommons etc that a player has. im trying to clone my caterpillar models to the corresponding slots.

code:

function module.createSlots()
	local totalval = 0
	
	--count slots to make
	for _, caterpillarValue in pairs(invfolder:GetChildren()) do
		if caterpillarValue:IsA("IntValue") and caterpillarValue.Value > 0 then

			totalval += caterpillarValue.Value
		end
	end

	if open == true then
		--print("caterpillar slots to make: "..totalval)
		local check = 0
		
		--make slots
		for s = 1, totalval do
			local slotclone = slotButton:Clone()
			slotclone.Parent = scrollingframe
			local thumbnail = slotclone.thumbnail
			local cam = Instance.new("Camera", thumbnail)
			thumbnail.CurrentCamera = cam
			check += 1
		end
		--print("slots created: "..check)
	end
end

do u have the picture of each of them? or u are tryna display a 3D model of them, if thats the case, u should learn about ViewportDisplay, its a 3D world displaying in a 2D frame

hey man,
yes im trying to display a 3d model of them. i usually know how to work with viewportframes but im trying to adapt it so if i have 5 common caterpillars and 10 uncommon caterpillars , it’ll clone the different rarity models to the slots. i only got the slots set up but i cant really get the models to clone.

#4

are u saying u want to add the value of 5 common caterpillar and 10 uncommon and if the result is equal or greater than rare caterpillar, u want the rare one to be displayed instead?

mb i think i worded it badly.

i have a shop right and i can buy any of these.

it’ll store how many i have bought in the intvalues i have here for different rarities:

i want my different caterpillar models to show up in the slots here:
eg. if i have 10 common caterpillars, there will be 10 common caterpillar models and so on

try this

function module.createSlots()
	local totalval = 0
	
	for i, v in pairs(scrollingframe:GetChildren()) do -- this is to clear ur inventory before readding slots
		if v.ClassName == "TextButton" then -- Assuming the slotbutton is textbutton
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
	
	--count slots to make
	for _, caterpillarValue in pairs(invfolder:GetChildren()) do
		if caterpillarValue:IsA("IntValue") and caterpillarValue.Value > 0 then

			if open == true then
				for i = 1, caterpillarValue.Value do
					local slotclone = slotButton:Clone()
					slotclone.Parent = scrollingframe
					local thumbnail = slotclone.thumbnail
					local cam = Instance.new("Camera")
					cam.Parent = thumbnail
					
					thumbnail.CurrentCamera = cam
					
					local caterpillarmodel = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild(caterpillarValue.Name) -- Locate ur caterpillar model
					if caterpillarmodel then
						local ClonedModel = caterpillarmodel:Clone()
						local Distance = 10
						ClonedModel:PivotTo(cam.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 0, -Distance))
						ClonedModel.Parent = thumbnail
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end

end

carefully read the variables and locate ur own model
