This script is supposed to fire when i clone/change the parent of the script to another, but when i clone the script this doesn’t fire, any ideas why?

local ps = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService").PocketScripts)
print("test1")
script:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Parent"):Connect(function()	
	
	print("test2")

	local plr = script.Parent.Parent

	for i, theScript in pairs(ps.GetChildrenWhichIsA(plr, "Script")) do
		if theScript ~= script then
			theScript:Destroy()
		end
	end

	print("nottest")
	script.Parent.Value = script.Parent.Value + 60
	print("test")

	for i = 0, script.Parent.Value, .1 do
		task.wait(.1)
		script.Parent.Value = script.Parent.Value - .1
		print(script.Parent.Value)
	end

	script.Parent.Name = "1"
	script:Destroy()
	
end)

In the output it printed “test1” but never printed “test2” after i cloned it, help would be appreciated!

Are you changing the parent on the server?

#3

Wdym by cloning it? :Clone() doesn’t copy connections so if you want the connection to run for the clone then you need to connect it again

#4

The script runs again whenever you change the parent or clone it. This both prevents the event from running and makes the event unnecessary. Just get rid of it.

#5

The script only runs after you clone it so it doesn’t run the function.

#6

I cloned the script and set the parent to a Player

#7

It turns out that the problem is that after i cloned it, it doesn’t run. Could this be because i set the parent as a player?

#8

Is the script a localscript

if script:IsA("LocalScript") then
	print("bruh this minimum text thing lol")
end
#9

Okay so turns out there’s nothing wrong with the GetPropertyChangedSignal() function, the script doesn’t work because this script is not Local Script and i set the parent into a Player, resulting in it not printing anything. Changed the script into local and now it works, thank you for the help everyone!
