How would you make it select all children with the name "Floor_BoolValue"?
How would you make it select all children with the name "Floor_BoolValue", where the "_" varies for example 1, 2, or 3? So in a folder there will be like Floor1BoolValue, Floor2BoolValue, Floor3BoolValue, and so on. Note: The folder has other things, so I cannot select all the children. Thanks!
for _, child in pairs(player.Folder:GetChildren()) do
if child.Name == Floor_BoolValue then
end
end

The Name property's value is a string. In order to create a string, you enclose text in string delimiters. In Lua, the most common string delimiters are " and ', though sometimes you'll see [[ ]] as well.
All you have to do to check if the name of the child is "Floor_BoolValue" is enclose it in quotes:
for _, child in pairs(player.Folder:GetChildren()) do
if child.Name == 'Floor_BoolValue' then
--// Do stuff
end
end
Hope this helped.
EDIT: Apologies, it seems I misread the question. In order to match any name which is 'Floor', a number, and then 'BoolValue', you can use string patterns (specifically, %d), and string.match.
for _, child in pairs(player.Folder:GetChildren()) do
if child.Name:match('^Floor%d+BoolValue$') then
--// Do stuff
end
end
Sorry for the confusion, hope this helped.
