| FindFirstChild( String Name, Bool recursive ) | |
| Returns | Instance found object |
| Description: | Returns the first child found with a name of Name. Returns nil if no such child exists. |
Example
while true do --Starts up a While loop
found = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Brick") --This looks in the Workspace for anything named "Brick", and sets the variable "found" to whatever object it finds.
if found ~= nil then -- This makes sure that it actually found something. If the variable is nothing, then it ends.
found.Name = "blah" --Sets the object's name to "blah"
end --End the If loop
end --End the While loop
Recursive
Recursive sets whether the function should look inside of objects in the calling object, as well as the calling object.
For example, if there is a part in workspace called "Part" and you use:
game:FindFirstChild("Part", true)
It will find the part.
