Do you still need to use :Disconnect() if the object pertaining to an event is nil?

Hello DevForum, I have a quick Question.

I was wondering if I would need to manually disconnect any events relating to an object that no longer exists.

An example would be the :ChildAdded() event. In this case, if a character which is linked to the event is destroyed after resetting will that result to the following event also being destroyed or will it result in a memory leak?

So, the LuaU garbage collector will automatically disconnect events unless something is using that event or it’s parameters as a dependency.

If the parameter the event passes through (ex: Character, for CharacterAdded) is fully destroyed, then it will garbage collect.

Thank you for the clarification
