Hey thanks I really appreciate the help. I tried to put a timer on the remove function. It seems better but it is still sometimes only removing two, sometimes three, sometimes none. I’m not getting the nil error as often now, but I am still getting it on occassion. I’ve posted my full source code below. Any help would be appreciated.
