Why does this work, when it shouldn't (weird enough)

In this

code snippet, 
-- Update the code boolean value
while wait(1) do
	local Monsters = MonstersFolder:GetChildren()
	if Monsters then
		CodeEnabled = false
		Prompt:SetAttribute("Color", RedColor)
	elseif not Monsters then
		CodeEnabled = true
		Prompt:SetAttribute("Color", WhiteColor)
	elseif CodeHasBeenScanned == true then
		CodeEnabled = false
		Prompt:SetAttribute("Color", RedColor)
	end
end

I made it so if there are any monsters in the monster folder, the ProximityPrompt becomes disabled. But, it turns red even if there is no monster in the folder. Help?

function ChangePrompt(Enabled, Color)
    CodeEnabled = Enabled
    Prompt:SetAttribute("Color", Color)
end

while true do task.wait(1)
    local Monsters = MonstersFolder:GetChildren()

    if #Monsters ~= 0 or CodeHasBeenScanned then
        ChangePrompt(false, RedColor)
    else
        ChangePrompt(true, WhiteColor)
    end
end

you can use # to see if a table has any values
I also added a function because of repeated code

basically your original code checked to see if Monsters was nil, a table with no values or {} isn’t nil

Hehe, thank you! Didn’t knew this would affect content tables, though.
