Is it possible to find values (class) by value (property)?
Is it possible to do a function like :FindFirstChild() but with values? Let's say I have 6 NumberValues and the value I want to find is 4, so I need to find the first NumberValue with a value of 4. Is this possible?

You would use if statements, for example 'if thing:FindFirstChild(NumberValue).Value == 4 then...' Pojoto 329 — 5y

You could do this with an in pairs loop.
--<+ Main Search Loop
function FindValue(ParentFolder, Value)
for _, ValueObj in pairs(ParentFolder:GetChildren()) do
if ValueObj.Value == Value then return ValueObj end
end
end
--<+ Example of how to use.
print(FindValue(workspace.ValueFolder, 4).Name or "There was not an Instance with the value you specified.")
