| ==Example==
| |
| <pre>
| |
| | |
| while true do --Starts up a While loop
| |
| found = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Brick") --This looks in the Workspace for anything named "Brick", and sets the variable "found" to whatever object it finds.
| |
| | |
| if found ~= nil then -- This makes sure that it actually found something. If the variable is nothing, then it ends.
| |
| | |
| found.Name = "blah" --Sets the object's name to "blah"
| |
| | |
| end --End the If loop
| |
| | |
| end --End the While loop

| ==Recursive==
| |
| | |
| Recursive sets whether the function should look inside of objects in the calling object, as well as the calling object.
| |
| | |
| For example, if there is a part in workspace called "Part" and you use:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| game:FindFirstChild("Part", true)
| |
| </pre>
| |
| It will find the part.
