Clone( )

Member of:	Instance

FindFirstChild( string name, bool recursive = false )
Returns	Instance
Description:	Returns the first child found with a name of name. Returns nil if no such child exists. If the optional recursive argument is true, will recursively descend the hierarchy while searching rather than only searching the immediate object.
Member of:	Instance

Returns	table
Description:	Returns a read-only table of the object's children.
Member of:	Instance

GetDebugId( int scopeLength )
Returns	string
Description:	Returns a coded string of the object's DebugId used internally by Roblox.
Member of:	Instance

GetFullName( )
Returns	String path to object
Description:	Returns a string with a dot (.) character separating a path of object hierarchy excluding "game".

Returns	bool
Description:	Returns true if the object is an descendant of ancestor.

Returns	nil
Description:	Sets the Parent property to nil, locks the Parent property, disconnects all connections and calls Destroy() on all children.
Member of:	Instance

ClearAllChildren( )

Name
Type	string
Description	The name of the object, which is often used to identify it in the context of its parent. Note that names are not unique identifiers; multiple children of an object may share the same name. In a script where you want to access an object using a name, for example, game.Workspace["Brick"], the first object found with that name is that object. This "first object" can be found in the Explorer menu.Names are great for showing a very brief title or summary of an object.
Member of	Instance

Parent
Type	Instance
Description	The hierarchical parent of the object. When no scripts hold references to an object, it will still be maintained as long as it's parent is set to an object which does have references to it, either by other objects or scripts. The toplevel DataModel object (the one referred to as the "game" by scripts) has no parent, but always has a reference held to it by the game engine, and exists for the duration of a session.
Member of	Instance
