For i,v pairs Loop Ignore certain things in a folder?

For some reason it kept printing “1” This is what the script looks like.

while task.wait() do
for i,v in ipairs(workspace.FolderWork:GetChildren()) do
		local ignored = {'Part'}
		local parts = {}
		if not table.find(ignored,v.Name) and not table.find(parts,v) then
			table.insert(parts,v)
			print(#parts)
		end
	end
end
#22 
		local parts = {}
while task.wait() do
for i,v in ipairs(workspace.FolderWork:GetChildren()) do
		local ignored = {'Part'}
		if table.find(ignored,v.Name)  then return end
        if table.find(parts, v) then return end
			table.insert(parts,v)
			print(#parts)
		end
	end
end
#23

It didnt really print anything out! I forgot to mention that when the player walks near the part it will be named close and when they are far away it will be called part again!

#24

U should use Magnitude and RunService to detect if the player is close and change the text from there

#25

Im not sure if I sayed it correctly! I was trying to say Ive added that already I just want the script to know how much parts that are called Close are in there!

#26 
local parts = {}
while task.wait() do
for i,v in ipairs(workspace.FolderWork:GetChildren()) do
		local ignored = {'Part'}
		if table.find(ignored,v.Name)  then return end
        if table.find(parts, v) then return end
        if v.Name ~= "Closed" then return end
			table.insert(parts,v)
			print(#parts)
		end

Please try this. Hope this works how you want.

local FolderWork = workspace.FolderWork
local blackList = {"Part"}

local CloseCount = 0 -- Count for "Close" part
while task.wait() do
     for _ , partChild in pairs(FolderWork:GetChildren()) do
             if table.find(blackList, partChild.Name) ~= nil then
                   continue   -- Skip this iteration, move on to the next one.
             end

             if partChild.Name == "Close" then
                   print("Find 'Close' Part!")
                   CloseCount = CloseCount + 1 -- Add the count
             end
     end
     print("Current 'Close' part in Folder" .. CloseCount)
     CloseCount = 0 -- This value resets once the loop is done, it will give you an actual count of 'Close' part.
end
#29 
return

This will completely exit from the loop, that is why it does not print anything.
