GetPropertyChangedSignal not firing

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a realism system where if you take damage, your screen gets more gray and blurry. This used to work but… Suddenly it doesn’t recently? I never touched it plus there’s no errors being printed. Any help is appreciated. It also seems as if it isn’t even firing when I was trying to test this ever since it broke even though I was still changing my health. I know it didn’t fire because it never printed k.

character.Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function()
    print("k") -- doesn't print, this is the first part of the function
-- not showing the rest, i don't like showing my scripts that much.
end)

Humanoids have their own .HealthChanged event. Test it out.

#3

Still doesn’t work. Maybe ROBLOX did an update with this stuff?

#4

Have you tried using :WaitForChild("Humanoid")?

Would I be able to see how you set the character variable and any code related to referencing the humanoid? Might make it a bit easier to find an answer to your problem.

Isn’t there an error that comes with it?

#6

Nope, no errors oddly. I don’t know whats the problem.

local character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Character = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

Humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(NewHealth)
	print("Health changed in \".HealthChanged\" to", NewHealth)
end)

Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function()
	local NewHealth = Humanoid.Health
	print("Health changed in \":GetPropertyChangedSignal\" to", NewHealth)
end)

I put that in StarterCharacterScripts and it seemed to work, the only difference being :GetPropertyChangedSignal doesn’t seem to have a parameter with the new value.

Did you change the kind of script you were using compared to when it was working? Like did you change it from a local script to a server script? The server wont detect a change you made with the client.

Try using WaitForChild

No, it’s in a localscript inside of StarterPlayerScripts.

#12 
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

your code wouldn’t work if the character already existed, because then it would wait for you to respawn for it to work

#13

Try moving the script to StarterCharacterScripts.

#14

Just try it…

It will probably work

#15

Well seems like no one read this lmao
