Folder

Group your project's objects into systems, or build lists and rows of your own while a program runs.

A folder holds other objects and has no members beyond ShotInstance's. The project's root is one, named after the project. shot check knows its children by name: a misspelt root.Settings.Currency is an error that lists the children that exist. Instance.new("Folder", parent) makes one, and a folder with a same-named script inside is a folder module that require takes.

end
table.sort(names)
print(root.Shop.Name .. " is a " .. root.Shop.ClassName .. " holding " .. table.concat(names, ", "))

local basket = Instance.new("Folder")
basket.Name = "Basket"
basket.Parent = root
root.Shop.Apple:Clone().Parent = basket
root.Shop.Pear:Clone().Parent = basket
print("Basket holds " .. #basket:GetChildren() .. " copies, in the project's root: " .. tostring(basket.Parent == root))

basket:ClearAllChildren()
print("after ClearAllChildren: " .. #basket:GetChildren())
basket:Destroy()
print("a Basket in the project: " .. tostring(root:FindFirstChild("Basket") ~= nil))
