How to make it stop at the 7th Child?
This was the example for printing the names of all children of an object:
local children = Workspace:GetChildren() for i = 1, #children do print(i, children[i].Name) end
So i changed it to make my GUI become visible, without the locals and stuff:
for i = 1, #children do print(i, children[i].Name) children[i].Visible = true end
However, my 8th child is a Script, so it fails and doesn't continue the script since it can't become visible,
How do i make it stop before hitting the 8th Child?

Just check the classname to see if it is a script or not. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

To stop at a certain child, you would use an if statement and break:
for i=1,#children do
if i==7 then
break
end
print(i, children[i].Name)
children[i].Visible=true
end
However, this is more of a hard-coded single-use method. It's better to check if the item is a GUI element with :IsA():
for i=1,#children do
if children[i]:IsA("GuiObject") then --Checks if it's a GUI
print(i, children[i].Name)
children[i].Visible=true
end
end
I hope this helped!
