How would I go about doing this

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Say there was a list of IntValues in a folder. I need to find the greatest value of all of the values.
Should I use a for loop? What would I do?

#2

I would use a for loop. Example:

local folder = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Folder") --put your folder name there, also change the Workspace part if needed.

local greatestVal = 0
local greatestValObject

function findGreatestValue()
  greatestVal = 0

  for I,v in pairs(folder:GetChildren()) do
    if v.Value > greatestVal then
        greatestVal = v.Value
        greatestValObject = v
    end
  end
  print("The greatest value is "..greatestValObject.Name)
end

findGreatestValue()

Then, whenever you call that function, it should loop through the folder and print the variable that has the greatest value! Let me know if there are any bugs, haven’t tested the code yet.

Edit: tested this latest code, it works just fine!
