BoolValue.Changed broken

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

When using BoolValue.Changed, the code underneath does not run but everything before the .Changed runs so I know everything should work.

I’ve also tried GetPropertyChangedSignal but that didn’t work as well.
I’ve checked and it changes the value on the server.

Code:

	script.Parent.Changed:Connect(function()
		print("changed")
		geardata:SetAsync(plr.UserId, script.Parent.Value)
	end)

And yes, the value is changing AFTER all that stuff. It is inside a PlayerAdded function.

Is this code inside another function?
If so then it would only recognize .Changed if it was changing at that exact moment the section of code is running.

#3

Can you include a bit more context? like how are you changing the value, and what other things are going on within the script where the connection is made?

#4

Did you try using :GetPropertyChangedSignal() ?

Try this

	script.Parent:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
		print("changed")
		geardata:SetAsync(plr.UserId, script.Parent.Value)
	end)

wrap it up inside a coroutine function:

coroutine.wrap(function()
	script.Parent.Changed:Connect(function()
		print("changed")
		geardata:SetAsync(plr.UserId, script.Parent.Value)
	end)
end)()

Here’s the full code.
Sorry I was sleeping btw.
The value is changed to true when a player buys something.

local service = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local geardata = service:GetDataStore("q35t3626notherealone")


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	
	script.Parent.Value = geardata:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or false
	print(script.Parent.Value)
	print("gotten async")
	
	task.wait()
	
	if script.Parent.Value == true then
		plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Shop").Items.Placeholder.Purchased.Purchase:Fire()
		print("purchased")
	end

		script.Parent.Changed:Connect(function()
			print("changed")
			geardata:SetAsync(plr.UserId, script.Parent.Value)
		end)
	
end)

Still didn’t work. charssss

As I stated in the post, I tried that exact thing.

#10 
coroutine.wrap(function()
	script.Parent:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
		print("changed")
		geardata:SetAsync(plr.UserId, script.Parent.Value)
	end)
end)()

If this did not work, then simply just put the function at the end.

Ended up fixing it myself. Thanks for the help though, everyone.
