I'm trying to make a For loop that loops once for each child inside a folder. Basically, I want a function that does one command to each child in the folder (AKA, telling each audio inside the folder to play), and I've seen people do this with For loops before. How would I achieve this?

Very simple question but I couldn't find the answer anywhere else?

for _,v in pairs(Folder:GetChildren()) do
--foo()
end
Inside this loop, v will represent each child of the folder separately.

Worked like a charm. Thanks a bunch.
Don't use
next , Folder:GetChildren(). Usepairs(Folder:GetChildren())instead.Fair enough, I am not too informed on the differences, would you be willing to help me understand it on Discord? I'd love to learn. :)
They're almost the same. pairs returns next
Yeah, Ray just explained it to me. OP, while they both have nearly the same outcome - pairs() is a helper function, and is better to use here. I have amended my initial post.
