How can I get the original value before the change using a .Changed event? The only parameter is the property…

local OriginalValue -- original value

Object.Changed:Connect(function()
        OriginalValue = Object.Value
        --script
end)

Only way u could do that is like this,

Isn’t ‘object.value’ the changed value because it is in the .Changed event? (meaning that the property is already changed?)

Here, let me rewrite his code a little more and explain.

local OriginalValue = Object.Value -- original value

Object.Changed:Connect(function(newValue)
  print(OriginalValue, newValue) --Print our old and new
  --Code using old and new
  OriginalValue = newValue --Out with the old, in with the new
end)

Yes. when the object changes it value we’re basically updating the variable at the top, if u wanna do something to the older value before u update it again put the script first then update it in this format

local OriginalValue -- original value

Object.Changed:Connect(function()
        --script
        OriginalValue = Object.Value
end)
