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:
local Map = game.ReplicatedStorage.Map
local P = game.Players.LocalPlayer
while true do
print(Map:IsAncestorOf(nil))
if Map:IsAncestorOf(nil) then
print("Meow2")
P.PlayerGui.Loading:Destroy()
game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(P.Name,1000).Parent = game.Workspace
end
wait(1)
end

It's a really easy question with an easy and simple answer
local fol = --Get your folder
if #fol:GetChildren==0 then
--Whatever
else
--Whatever
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
