If the variable is nothing, then it ends. brick.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.
