stringValue:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
    print("Value changed for " .. stringValue.Name .. ": " .. stringValue.Value)
    updateFearedNames()
end)

task.wait()
if stringValue.Value and stringValue.Value ~= "" then
    print("New feared name: " .. stringValue.Value)
end

updateFearedNames()

end

local fearedFolder = npc:FindFirstChild("Feared")
if not fearedFolder then
fearedFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
fearedFolder.Name = "Feared"
fearedFolder.Parent = npc
print("Created Feared folder")
end

fearedFolder.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
if child:IsA("StringValue") then
handleStringValueAdded(child)
end
end)

here

[bleak urchin]

thank you

[mellow vapor]

if I may ask what's this for

[bleak urchin]

fear system

npc fear u

if

the value is ur user

but it doesnt detect once an string vbalue has been added

[mellow vapor]

maybe try using pairs instead of ipairs

also did you check for any erros in output

[bleak urchin]

checkced no errors

[mellow vapor]

yk it detected because of prints or something in the game

[bleak urchin]

it didnt detect

i added an print thingy

but

it doesnt print

[mellow vapor]

oo

so this doesn't print right:

print("StringValue added: " .. stringValue.Name)

[bleak urchin]

yea

[mellow vapor]

ok did you try changing ipairs to pairs

[bleak urchin]

ima test smtg another scripter told me to then test ur idea

[mellow vapor]

also I can't help but notice this isn't the entire script so I think you should send the whole thing js incase you missed something about it

[bleak urchin]

the script is 190 lines so sadly i couldnt

[mellow vapor]

you can send it as a file

like a .txt file

from notepad

[bleak urchin]

im on mac

[mellow vapor]

you don't have notepad?

[bleak urchin]

lem be sure

@mellow vapor made it pairs it still doesnt work

also the other part of the script

is js path finding

[mellow vapor]

if nothing prints then there is only one explanation there's simply no children in the folder and there are no children getting added

or this may sound dumb but could be true you somehow have the script disabled and you didn't notice

[bleak urchin]

the script being disabled is false since theres path finding and the npc seems to be walking compeltly fine

[bleak urchin]

also i double checked if anything got added and it did

[mellow vapor]

ok how about you send a video or something

[bleak urchin]

i forgot whats that

im jk

i cant

[onyx glade]

Is this in a local script and also is the npc and folder in workspace

[bleak urchin]

npc is in the workspace and the folder is inside the npc

its an script
