How to Find Every Single Child in A Folder

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Im trying to find have the value of every single child without having to put the another script every single time. Im not sure if this will work

	local coinsGiven =  player.CoinNExpGiverForAll:GetChildren("CoinsGivenInStageOne").Value

CoinNExpGiverForAll is the folder and then, as I add more stages I will do

	local coinsGiven =  player.CoinNExpGiverForAll:GetChildren("CoinsGivenInStageOne", "CoinsGivenInStageTwo", "CoinsGivenInStageThree").Value

and so on. I have another idea but because im new to scripting i dont know if it will work.

local coinsGiven =  player.CoinNExpGiverForAll.Children.Value

Because I know it works if children was Parent I was wondering if it would work the other way as well. All I need is a short clear way to put every child that is in the folder “CoinNExpGiverForAll” in one variable.

#2

GetChildren returns a table of all the children in something, to do something with all of them just do this

local coinsGiven = 0

for _,value in pairs(player.CoinNExpGiverForAll:GetChildren()) do
   --Code to do on every child
end
#3

Sorry that I didn’t explain prior to you making the script but the reason why I need that is because of this.

		if MarkerplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId,DoubleCoingamePassID) then
			coinsGiven *= 2
		end

then if the player has that gamepass then no matter which stage they are in the amount of coins they get will always get doubled. This is why I needed coinsGiven to be defined

#4

What is coinsGiven, is it a variable, a IntValue, so on?

#5

Its an IntValue and the parent is CoinNExpGiverForAll

#6

I assume you want to add the coins given in all stages. If so, then you can do this.

local coinsGiven = 0

for _, coinsGivenInStage in pairs(player.CoinNExpGiverForAll:GetChildren()) do
    coinsGiven += coinsGivenInStage.Value
end

-- do stuff with 'coinsGiven'
