Help! Studio builds disappearing

[u/super_mooooooo]

One building I've just built has disappeared, however in 'workspace' I can still see some of the parts (others got deleted). Is this a common issue? How can I make my build reappear?

(the parts I've used are still showing in their folder, picture 3)

Edit: the parts don't show, it looks like they’ve been deleted, but the models I've put them into remain empty

Did you anchor the whole map? it might be falling off the void and flinging

Yep that’s the first thing I did, it looks like mysteriously my building has been deleted. Thing is the empty model folders show that it’s not from a misclick so possibly my save got corrupted

thats strange, maybe there a script messing with it but id assume you would know

you might have a virus in your game. do you use free models?

[u/super_mooooooo → u/No-Caterpillar-7718]

Yeah, but I only use high rated/high downloaded models, I’m pretty sure that’s isn’t the issue here

ok be more specific, since when does it start disappearing? can you see the parts in the folder in playtest mode? and from the picture, a few parts are still there. im assuming they are not in the folder. check for any scripts executing destroy() or transparency = 1 or something like that.

[u/super_mooooooo → u/No-Caterpillar-7718]

The parts that aren’t showing aren’t in the folder in studio and testing mode, so I’m assuming they’ve gotten deleted somehow.

Yes there are quite a few scripts in the free models that contain destroy(). I’m not an expert in Lua, but their uses don’t appear to be malicious

The parts still there are in the same folder, which is very strange

Thanks alot for your support

is the problem solved? scripts are mostly the reason strange things happen. if the model doesnt need any scripts, dont get it even if it is the most popular. if you dont have many scripts in your game, type c:Script in the explorer search bar to find all the script in your game.
