So I have a auto-save script which has a lot of data to save but when player joins and auto save is commencing it breaks because the children aren’t loaded yet.
How can I wait for the children to load other way than :WaitForChild?

Do you want to load multipe things or just one thing?
I assume multiple things because I have a folder with player data
maybe this will work:
data is the folder/thing the data is in
local thingstoload = data:GetChildren()
for _,v in pairs(thingstoload) do
repeat wait() until v
end

Sorry to bump, but just want to bring to attention this does not work for localscripts, if at all?:
GetChildren wouldn’t sensibly return anything that’s not there, by definition its the immediate children, and so it just runs empty for player’s acessories (my usecase) before they load.
I would appreciate if you explained how this ended up working out for you if at all, @Lemon553311

Then add a little wait at the start like maybe .1 second
What’s the point of adding this method of checking if you placing wait to wait for it to load
You’re just waiting 0.1 seconds for it to load so you can check if it’s all loaded
What if after 0.1 seconds it won’t be loaded? Method still won’t work.

Maybe is game.IsLoaded a thing?
