Wall is not being destroyed

[StarJ3M]

The wall is not nil, and for some reason even though I call :Destroy() on the function, the wall model is not nil.

  20:23:31.824  Wall  -  Client - LocalScript:69
  20:23:31.836    -  Client - LocalScript:70
  20:23:31.837    -  Client - LocalScript:72
  20:23:31.837  Wall  -  Client - LocalScript:73

This is the full script.

The variable still exists, and it’s still referencing an object. Make sure to set the variable to nil, because even if you destroy an object, it still exists in memory since you’re storing it in a variable.

Code:

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = false

	print(visualPlacementModel)
	visualPlacementModel:Destroy()
	visualPlacementModel = nil
	print(visualPlacementModel)
end)
