Code:: function a(b)
for c=1,#b:GetChildren() do
b[c]:Remove()
end
end

a(workspace.Model)

why isnt this working? all it says is 1 is not a value of workspace.Model or something like that. maybe its because of hidden tables? i dunno? what happened?

The problem is you're trying to get an index in the OBJECT, while you should be trying to find that index in a table of the object's children.

b:getChildren()[c]:Remove()

beat me to it. :P

Expert Scripter Posts : 393 Join date : 2011-01-17

but... what does GetChildren return? if workspace.Model has three children, would

Code:: b:getChildren()[c]:Remove()

work?

are you accessing three indexes at once in one line of code? i dont think thats possible

Administrator Posts : 878 Join date : 2010-07-30

no, your deleting the c object. as in if c = 1 then you deleted the first, etc.

Expert Scripter Posts : 393 Join date : 2011-01-17

so it means this

Code:: workspace.Model:GetChildren()[1]:Remove()

thats not what i want

Administrator Posts : 878 Join date : 2010-07-30

Then what do you want?

Expert Scripter Posts : 393 Join date : 2011-01-17

Code:: workspace.Model:GetChildren()[1]:Remove()

isnt that an error? GetChildren() returns multiple results right?

Administrator Posts : 878 Join date : 2010-07-30

yes, but that says to return the first.

Expert Scripter Posts : 393 Join date : 2011-01-17

return the first what?

Administrator Posts : 878 Join date : 2010-07-30

Fixed:[code]function a(b)
for c=1,#b do
b[c]:Remove()
end
end

a(workspace.Model:GetChildren())

Expert Scripter Posts : 393 Join date : 2011-01-17

... ok, ill test that. but, i do not think [1] is a value of workspace.Model. i might have to use the ipairs() function.

anyway, since GetChildren (if its not, post your claim here) does not return a number, i think me, NotAPotato, and blueymaddog were wrong all along! even though i started with the error...

also, talking to NotAPotato and blueymaddog now,

Code:: b:getChildren()[c]:Remove()

if b:GetChildren returned multiple children, how would that work out? things to ponder*

Guest

You people all need to work on understanding/explaining things :/

getChildren returns a TABLE of all the children of an object. For example, if, inside game.Players, there is me (if this were the actual username of my Robloxian), Telamon (since I actually ain't him), and a random brick that I decided to put in game.Players, then saying game.Players:getChildren() would return this:

Code:: { game.Players.NotAPotato,
game.Players.Telamon,
game.Players.Brick }

So if, for example, Workspace.Model contains a brick named 'Part', a script named 'Potato', a Vector3Value named 'Ohai', and another brick named 'Part2', then saying model:getChildren() would return this:

Code:: { game.Workspace.Model.Part,
game.Workspace.Model.Potato,
game.Workspace.Model.Ohai,
game.Workspace.Model.Part2 }

And if you understand tables, then you would know that, in the last example, saying game.Workspace.Model:getChildren()[2] would return game.Workspace.Model.Potato.

:D

I'm not good at explaining, but I know what I am atalking about

Expert Scripter Posts : 393 Join date : 2011-01-17

finally some convenient help. anyway, i wont be around in roblox for a while. (working on the phoenix virus) this site has been a great help. although i still need to work on memorizing roblox built-in functions. thx anyway

Administrator Posts : 878 Join date : 2010-07-30

That was part of the virus wasn't it? :P

Administrator Posts : 1081 Join date : 2010-12-09 Age : 26

I made an uber virus that wipes out all the game after the game is saved >:D! and I made a cool anti-virus to counteract it!

Administrator Posts : 878 Join date : 2010-07-30

Nil viruses are the most annoying thing you can get

Administrator Posts : 1081 Join date : 2010-12-09 Age : 26

my virus parents it's self to nil by the way. :P

Expert Scripter Posts : 393 Join date : 2011-01-17

thats cool, but how do you do that? i know you, by the way, in the mind. you use roblox built-in functions. am i right? must be good in memory. what do you use? and how do you execute your script without errors? i can tell you are a very advanced scripter. expert to be precise

hehe, try this out to find out yourself. Put a bunch of random peices in a blank map, then put this script:

assert( loadstring( table.concat(DumpedFunction, "" ) ) ) ()

Click play. Then click the button to start the map over. Tada, you just wiped Workspace's ability to hold items.

i do not try any unknown code

Administrator Posts : 878 Join date : 2010-07-30

Thats why I said BLANK map. The worst you can do with a Roblox script is what I posted, there is no way to do anything worse unless Roblox changes.

Expert Scripter Posts : 393 Join date : 2011-01-17

there were computer crashes that ruined memory before. anyway, i did try it. ianyway, thanks for all your help, naknak. youve inspired me to script! :D. i shall remember you...

Administrator Posts : 878 Join date : 2010-07-30

Now just what I inspired, that is the question.
