<p>You can use GetDescendants() instead of GetChildren(). The difference is that GetDescendants() gets ALL of the contents (including other models inside the model) while GetChildren() only gets the model's contents you assigned to (only gets children to one model).</p> <pre class='brush: lua'>wait(5) local Descendants...
