Problem: Script is deleting URFCMechClone reguardless of weither the model is in the location or not. No errors btw.

function check()
if enabled == true then
enabled = false
wait(0.5)
if (URFCMechClone.Parent == script.Parent.Parent) ~= nil then
regenerate()
elseif (URFCMechClone.Parent == script.Parent.Parent) == nil then
URFCMechClone:Remove()
regenerate()
end
elseif enabled == false then
end
end

Sorry that should be like this.

function check()
if enabled == true then
enabled = false
wait(0.5)
if (URFCMechClone.Parent == script.Parent.Parent) ~= nil then
URFCMechClone:Remove()
regenerate()
elseif (URFCMechClone.Parent == script.Parent.Parent) == nil then
regenerate()
end
elseif enabled == false then
end
end

Remove the ~= nil and then == nil, it returns true or false. -.-

function check()
if enabled == true then
enabled = false
wait(0.5)
if (URFCMechClone.Parent == script.Parent.Parent) then
regenerate()
elseif (URFCMechClone.Parent ~= script.Parent.Parent) then
URFCMechClone:Remove()
regenerate()
end
elseif enabled == false then
end
end


PS: Who isn't teaching data types ...?

Does the "regenerate" function happen to Remove it?

Also, having "if enabled == false then" at the Bottom won't do anything,
and Remove() has been Depreciated, use Destroy()

Okay so, enabled is returned to true in the regenerate function so that didn't need to be changed. And enable was already set to true further up the script.

Was just making sure. Other than that this part of the script seems to be fine. Is there some event it should be connected to? Any output you can share with us?

I was just about to paste the entire script so you would be able to review it but then I found the problem at the very very bottem... This is one of those times when you feel really dumb because it was a very simple problem but you made it into a huge mess that took over an hour or two trying to fix.

I had

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(regenerate)

Instead of

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(check)

So it was ignoring the function like I said, but because I never told it to go though check instead of directly regenerating... Derp! Hope this put a smile on your face :D

I've been there myself, so yeah, I can relate. xP But next time try showing the whole thing instead of just a part, that way we might notice even more things. o:

Right when I think every problem is solved... I find one more small issue. It's supposed to only regen if enabled is true but it seems regen anyway. So here you are ladies and gentleman! The legendary script lol.

--Scripted By Happyboy (June 3rd, 2012)--
local Main = script.Parent.Parent.Mech
local MechClone = Main:Clone()
local enabled = true

Main:Remove()
URFCMechClone = MechClone:clone()
URFCMechClone.Parent = script.Parent.Parent
URFCMechClone:makeJoints()


function check()
if enabled == true then
local enabled = false
wait(0.5)
if (URFCMechClone.Parent ~= script.Parent.Parent) then
regenerate()
elseif (URFCMechClone.Parent == script.Parent.Parent) then
URFCMechClone:Remove()
regenerate()
end
end
end

function regenerate()
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(26)
URFCMechClone = MechClone:clone()
URFCMechClone.Parent = script.Parent.Parent
URFCMechClone:makeJoints()
wait(10)
local enabled = true
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(104)
end


script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(check)

Remove the local from the enabled inside the functions, it will fix the problem.

Umm, well that did fix it. But I am confused, why did that cause a problem? I never used to have problems doing that in 09.

To make it simple, and true but not quite accurate, local makes those variables only exist inside that function:


a = "Hello!"
print(a)
function change()
local a = "I changed D:"
print("In then function, a = ", a)
end
change()
print("After function, a = ", a)

Try that script.
