Whats the Difference between FindFirstChildOfClass and FindFirstChildWhichIsA?

[DasKairo (Cairo)]

Hi,

So i was wondering what’s the Difference between
FindFirstChildOfClass()
and
FindFirstChildWhichIsA()

Whats the Difference? or Are they the same?
And What are the Differences?

[Wyv_n (Wyvern)]

they’re the complete same thing just spelled differently

[Wyv_n (Wyvern)]

onto one exeption if you go to a part in the explorer you will see a thing called class and if you look at it. that is what findfirstchildofclass is using. I typically use findfirstchildofclass because it works the best for me.

So They are the same?

yes and no.
if you did
workspace:FindFirstChildOfClass(“BasePart”)
and if you had a part it will print nil
if you did
workspace:FindFirstChildWhichIsA(“BasePart”)
if will print something that has to deal with parts

its findfirstchildofclass is

findfirstchildwhichisa is bascially if part:IsA(“BasePart”) then balblablab

[Wyv_n (Wyvern)]

baseparts deals with Parts Unions and MeshParts

[DasKairo (Cairo)]

@Wyv_n

its findfirstchildofclass is

findfirstchildwhichisa is bascially if part:IsA(“BasePart”) then balblablab

I Understand what FindFirstChildOfClass() does, i just wanted to know the Difference between the other FindFirstChildWhichIsA() thanks tho

For a more accurate answer, OfClass is for finding an exact object class. For example, an ImageButton would be

FindFirstChildOfClass("ImageButton") --> The ImageButton

IsA includes the class for the instance + any abstract classes it inherits. It basically has to do with Object Inheritance. ImageButton is part of the GuiButton class so you can do

FindFirstChildWhichIsA("GuiButton") --> The ImageButton

You can view what other classes an instance inherits on the documentation.
