Try removing "if v == true". That's checking if your plates have a value of 'true'. Instead you should add something like "if v:IsA("BasePart")"

you don't need true because it's checking if v exists already

What I mean is that all you need to say is "if v then" because lua will assume you mean you're asking if it exists.

Are you sure "plates" has any children?

Put a print statement outside the if statement, see if that prints. Enjoying your stay at the Scripters Forum? Join this! http://www.roblox.com/My/Groups.aspx?gid=2582784
