Hi, from the client side, I need to clone some models that are in ReplicatedStorage. These models can have quite a few descendants and are created by the server at any time. I ask this question to know if roblox internally solves this problem and ends up cloning the models correctly, or if we would end up with incomplete models.

From my experience, as long you use wait for child you won’t have incomplete models.
So WaitForChild applied to a model also waits for all its descendants?
The model will clone properly but to access a specific descendant or child you must still use WaitForChild on it.
ROBLOX (should) be storing model data as a hidden property of the model itself, so I highly doubt you would experience “incomplete models” as you phrase it.
If it becomes an issue, locate the deepest descendant of the model and use :WaitForChild on each model descendant up until the aforementioned deepest descendant.
In my case I don’t know how many or what the descendants are called, but I don’t need to do any extra processing. That way I’m satisfied knowing I won’t end up with incomplete models. Thank you for your help.
Useful tip. I just noticed.
