How do I find the first empty value?
If I have StringValues that are each named a number, 1,2,3,4,5 (and so on) How can I create a script using :GetChildren() which gets the first StringValue that has no .Value and adds a value to it?
Like if "1" has a value, but "2" doesn't, "2" would get the value "Ketchup" (All the numbers after 2 would still have no .Value)

This can be done using a General For Loop to iterate through all of the Children of an object and compare their values to an empty string, then breaking the loop. Here's some code to do that.
01 | function writeToFirstEmptyStringValue(obj, newValue) |
02 | for _, v in ipairs(obj:GetChildren) do |
03 | if v.IsA("StringValue") then |
04 | if v.Value == "" then |
05 | v.Value = newValue |
06 | break |
07 | end |
08 | end |
09 | end |
10 | end |
11 |
12 | writeToFirstEmptyStringValue(workspace.StringValues, "Ketchup") |

not general, generic. your code also errors and function name is disgusting. thank you. Elixcore 1337 — 5y
