Looping in order

[Kevin_GameplaysYT (Kiwisitoo)]

Hello guys! I want to loop all those elements, but I want the loop to be done in hierarchical order, because I need to apply a color to each one, one after the other (like a domino effect).

Oh, I came up with an Idea:

local table = {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6"}

for _, v in ipairs(table) do
   line1:FindFirstChild(v).Color = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
end

But anyway I want to know if there is another way to do this.

You could use a modulous operator, if you want to loop forever you could use this script.

local index = 1
while true do
    local item = line1:FindFirstChild(tostring(index))
    -- do thing with item
    index = (index % 6) + 1
    task.wait()
end

If you do not need to repeat loops then we can remove the modulous operator and just use numbers counting up.

local index = 1
while index < 7 do
    local item = line1:FindFirstChild(tostring(index))
    -- do thing with item
    index += 1
end

Does GetChildren not use heirarchal order?

for _, item in ipairs(line1:GetChildren()) do
    -- do thing in item
end
