Script not seeing children (Very Confused)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I’m currently having this problem where I’m so confused it just could be a studio bug. Here’s an image of the assets inside the folder:

Script:

for i, npc in pairs(NPC_Folder:GetChildren()) do

	if npc:IsA("Script") then return end
	
	print(npc.Name, i)
   end
end

Output:

 18:40:54.184  Shop Dealer 1  -  Server - DamageIndicatorScript:9

As you can see it ignores everything else. Any ideas why this is? I tried restarting roblox studio, restarting my computer, etc. No help. Please help I’m very confused.

Thank you.

Try this.

for i, npc in pairs(NPC_Folder:GetChildren()) do
	if not npc:IsA("Script") then
	    print(npc.Name, i)
    end
end

perhaps:

for i, npc in pairs(NPC_Folder:GetChildren()) do
	if npc:IsA("Model") then
	    print(npc.Name, i)
    end
end

typing return breaks the loop. If you want to keep the loop going and skip over the script you need to use continue instead.

Like this:

for i, npc in pairs(NPC_Folder:GetChildren()) do

	if npc:IsA("Script") then continue end
	
	print(npc.Name, i)
   end
end
