How do I check if a folder has no children?
I am trying to make a map loader but there is 1 problem, that the loading screen doesnt go away I tried this script but it didnt work, it also gave no errors.
localscript:
01 | local Map = game.ReplicatedStorage.Map |
02 | local P = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
03 | while true do |
04 | print(Map:IsAncestorOf(nil)) |
05 | if Map:IsAncestorOf(nil) then |
06 | print("Meow2") |
07 | P.PlayerGui.Loading:Destroy() |
08 | game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(P.Name,1000).Parent = game.Workspace |
09 | end |
10 | wait(1) |
11 | end |

It's a really easy question with an easy and simple answer
1 | local fol = --Get your folder |
2 | if #fol:GetChildren==0 then |
3 | --Whatever |
4 | else |
5 | --Whatever |
6 | end |

No problem. This works like tables. The "#" prefix represents the amount of variables are inside a table. So when you do :GetChildren() it will gives you a table. And the "#" will count the number of variables in that table for ya. magicguy78942 238 — 6y

This also comes in handy when checking the amount of players in a game. For example, #game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers() will give you the number of players in a game (In this case using :GetPlayers() rather than using :GetChildren() since we are getting the players. Both give a table.) lunatic5 409 — 6y
