ChildRemoved not Firing but ChildAdded does

[Hyxperionn (Hyx)]

.ChildRemoved isn’t firing for some reason, .ChildAdded works just fine, and so does the function it connects to, I even tested manually placing items into the Parties folder, and it fired when I added, but not when I removed them. Its for a lobby system, please help I have no idea why it isn’t working

This is my explorer:

and this is the code firing it:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Parties.ChildRemoved:Connect(updatePartyList)
game.ReplicatedStorage.Parties.ChildAdded:Connect(updatePartyList)

The local script is inside of a ScreenGUI in StarterPlayerGui (or PlayerGui depending on how you look at it)

I’m pretty sure it’s ChildRemoving, not ChildRemoved.

First of all, it is ChildRemoved and not ChildRemoving so you used the event correctly.
Add a print statement at the beginning of updatePartList to test if ChildRemoved event was fired. Your event should work so I think the problem is somewhere within updatePartyList function.

I didn’t use ChildRemoving? and I have got a print statement at the very beginning of the function, it fires every single time that a Child is Added, and not once when it is removed, the function works perfectly, It has to be something to do with the calling of it

this is the output from when I do it, the first “joining party” is when I join the party, the second “joining party” is when I leave the party, “updating party list” only fires on joining (when the folder is added) not on removal

we will not be able to help you if you do not provide more information about your code (most importantly the updatePartyList function)

@MikeartsRBLX @Arkston , having actually looked into my updatePartyList function, and not assuming its perfect I realised the problem,

function updatePartyList()
	for i, child in pairs(script.Parent.Players.PlayersList:GetChildren()) do
		if child:IsA("Frame") then
			child:Destroy()
		end
	end
	
	for i, party in pairs(game.ReplicatedStorage.Parties:GetChildren()) do
		print("updating party list")
		local partyName = party.Name
		local playerLimit = party:WaitForChild("PlayerLimit").Value
		local playerCount = #party.Players:GetChildren()
		
		local template = script.PartyTemplate:Clone()
		template.PartyName.Text = partyName
		template.PlayerCount.Text = playerCount .. "/" .. playerLimit
		
		party.Players.ChildAdded:Connect(function() 
			template.PlayerCount.Text = #party.Players:GetChildren() .. "/" .. playerLimit 
		end)
		party.Players.ChildRemoved:Connect(function() 
			template.PlayerCount.Text = #party.Players:GetChildren() .. "/" .. playerLimit 
		end)
		
		template.Parent = publicServersList
		publicServersList.CanvasSize = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, publicServersList.UIListLayout.AbsoluteContentSize.Y)
		template.Join.JoinButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
			game.ReplicatedStorage.PartySystemRE:FireServer("joinParty", partyName)
		end)
	end
end

I forgot that it was running on a loop depending on how many children there are in the Parties Folder, and that given my party was the only one, when it is deleted the loop doesn’t run

I see, good job!

P.S. the stuff I said about ChildRemoving and ChildRemoved was referring to someone who said they think it should be ChildRemoving
