Hi. I am trying to write a regen system but I can’t figure out how to do it. I want the value to start regenerating if it doesn’t decrease for 3 seconds. Using :GetPropertyChangedSignal(). Can anyone give me some tips?

Ey
You can try somrthing like

local lastRun = 0

local function regen()
if tick() - lastRun > 3 then
proceed end
lastRun = tick

#3 
task.delay(3, function()
   if someValueThatChecksIfXDidntDecreaseFor3Seconds then return end

   -- your code 
end)
#4 
local signal = instance:GetPropertyChangedSignal()
local stamp = 0

signal:Connect(function()
    stamp = os.clock()
end)

-- later on in your business logic..
if os.clock() - stamp < 3 then
    -- regen
end
