Delete Instances (Destroy(), Remove(), Debris) - Roblox Advanced Scripting #2

Hey, thanks for stopping by. In this episode of my Roblox advanced scripting tutorial series, I'm going to be discussing about delete instances, what they are, how they are used, and why you should use them. Delete instances is a term that I kind of made up because it reflects on ways that Roblox has provided us tools to

handle unnecessary or unneeded objects or instances that we just have lying around inside of our Roblox games that we create. And in this guide, I'm going to show you different ways of how Roblox has provided us these tools to help us with with those situations. But in order to understand what I'm talking about,

let me show you an example. All right, let's think about this for a minute. So, I just quickly created something that I think will be a great example for what I'm about to show you in this episode. So, right in front of me, I have a coin spawning pad that randomly spawns coins

onto this pad. And then after a certain period of time, which is about 5 seconds, they end up disappearing. Uh the reason I have it The reason I have it do this is because my initial intention was that when a player steps on one of these coins, then they will add a point to their bleeder stat, but I

did not create that yet. Um And so, what's really important to note here is that these coins, when they're not being picked up, they despawn on their own after 5 seconds. It doesn't have to rely on me to pick them up before they actually despawn. Because if I just come over here and pick up one of

these coins, they uh disappear uh like intended. Uh we don't have to deal with them anymore. Once they're collected, we just wait for the next one to spawn in. And so, Roblox has provided us three methods to deal with with deleting instances. going to be showing you how to do all three of them in this episode.
