Whats the difference between for i,v in ipairs(array) do and for i,v in pairs(array) do? ~Swagilitious and not Nutricious~

ipairs only iterates tables with a numerical IN ORDER index while pairs iterate through all indexes try this table = {[1] = "Roblox",[2] = "Sweet", ["Water"] = "Coolio", [4] = "MyDawg"} for i,v in ipairs(table) do print(i,v) end print("Seperate") for i,v in pairs(table)do print(i,v) end

And i,v in pairs is used to do something to a models children. Or models in general try this; Stuff = game.Workspace.Model:GetChildren() <---- Defines the varible for i,v in pairs(Stuff) do <--- Makes everything in the model a single pair v.Transparency = 1 <--- Changes all children if they are single objects transparent end <--- Ends function

ipairs is better for iterating with :GetChildren(), because all indexes in :GetChildren() are numerical anyway.
