To get the number of items within the backpack, you can just do the below:
local NumberOfContents = #Player.Backpack:GetChildren()
GetChildren() returns a table containing all of the children in the instance you have called it upon. With tables, you can obtain the number of contents by using #.
There are exceptions but you should not run into these exceptions if the table is from :GetChildren()

Take note that I use
Playeras a place holder for the player instance, I am unsure how you want the Player to be obtained.Just keep in mind that if a player has a tool equipped the script won't count that, you can account for that by adding +(Player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") and 1 or 0) to the end
