Heyyy! I have a little problem, I can’t make a script, in which if the folder “Example1” is empty, then it will execute something, such as print(“work”).

		if game.Workspace.Example:GetChildren() == nil then
			print("Im a Noob")
        end
#2

Show the script so people ca help you further

end

#5

You can’t call GetChildren() and see if its nil.
Instead you can do this.

if #(workspace.Example:GetChildren()) == 0 then
print("Im  a Noob")
end

Basically :GetChildren() returns a table value. So with putting # in front of it, it will return the number of items in that table.

print(“No children found”)
end)

You need to have a folder which is called “Example” under workspace in order for it to work
