I know I have a simple question…
This question was not solved by anyone successfully…
My question is…
Imagine you start this loop

For a, b in ipairs(folder:getchildren()) do
Wait 1
End

And while it is running you add another instance to the folder . The question is will it be included or not?

No it will not be included.

But how do you make it included???
Without restarting the loop?

You can turn the folder:getchildren() into a variable

local children = folder:getchildren()

You can use the event that runs when something gets added in the folder.

folder.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
    table.insert(children, child) -- and add it to the children
end)

Idk if that works, I never encountered questions like this before.

I’m talking about checking if it works because I’m 100% sure that it doesn’t work.

If I don’t have a function to update it makes no sense

You didn’t see the event I wrote that fires everytime a new child has been added?

#18

How do I have to place it? And also will it automatically update the loop without having to run it again?

To answer your question? Yes, I did see it but I do not understand how I have to implement that.

I want to loop to run and include everything. Because I needed for an entity my door Game. If I were to restart a loop, the entity would not go smoothly through the rooms
