How to get a property from GetChildren()?

Hey there.

When GetChildren() returns is a array. So essentially, a table full of whatever you had used the function on. However, in order to actually make use of this table we will need to iterate over it. To do this we will use in pairs iteration. What this will do is for each entry to the table, it will run the code inside once and provide you with variables based on the table.

To do this you will need the following code:

for i, v in pairs(game.ReplicatedStorage.WaitingNames:GetChildren()) do
 -- Code here
end

This will then iterate over each entry generated from the GetChildren(). The i stands for Iteration and v is Value and both are variables we can use in our code. You can name these whatever you want and just act as parameters. Finally, we can use this for your instance by running a if statement check within the iteration.

for i, v in pairs(game.ReplicatedStorage.WaitingNames:GetChildren()) do
	if v.Value == plr.Name then
		print("I found a match!")
	end
end

Hope this helps :)
