How could I search for the Value IsOn in all folders available.
Basically to elaborate what im attempting to do:
Have a main breaker switch which turns off all the lights in the building, so search each lighting ‘zone’ or folder for the IsOn value, and then if it finds it, set it to 0 (it’s a 1 and 0 system as it has multiple states than 1 or 0)
Use a for loop and GetChildren to iterate the children of the “Lighting” folder, check if the child is a folder with IsA (or ClassName), use FindFirstChild on the child folder to check if it has a child named “IsOn”, if it does then set the value
I’ll give this a go and update further
Hello.
You could just create a table with all the values in the folder, then you can loop through them, and get their values.
An Example
local folder = * -- the folder we are searching from
local switches = {} -- the list every boolen value in the folder is stored in
for index, object in pairs(folder:GetDescendants()) do
if object and object:IsA("BoolValue") then
table.insert(switches, object) -- add every boolen value to the list
end
end
The problem is here that another script checks the IsOn values separately in zones and I don’t want to redo this at the moment.
Thanks for your input
Hi,
I’ve tried the following bit of code:
function on()
for _, child in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
if child:IsA("Folder") then
local zones = child:FindFirstChild("IsOn")
zones.IsOn.Value = 1
end
end
end
However this results in the error:
IsOn is not a valid member of Folder "Workspace.BuildingSystems.Lighting"
Could you please advise on what to do next.
Thanks
Check if it’s exist.
function on()
for _, child in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
if child:IsA("Folder") then
local zones = child:FindFirstChild("IsOn")
-- // Check if "IsOn" exist.
if zones then
zones.Value = 1
end
end
end
end
(Edited)
I still get the error
IsOn is not a valid member of Folder “Workspace.BuildingSystems.Lighting”
function on()
for _, child in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
if child:IsA("Folder") then
local zones = child:FindFirstChild("IsOn")
if zones then
zones.IsOn.Value = 1
end
end
end
end
I fixed that, sorry. (Scroll up and copy the code again) 
Ah, I didn’t notice, sorry.
This time it does nothing but also does not give an error.
Any ideas?
Here is what I am working with.
The script highlighted is the script which contains what I am trying to do.
Uhh… try this?
function on()
for _, child in pairs(script.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()) do
if child:IsA("Folder") then
local zones = child:FindFirstChild("IsOn")
if zones then
zones.Value = 1
end
end
end
end
