How to always check the boolvalue whenever it's true or false

I want to make a door. When boolvalue name “AllowOpen” is true, the door opens when you touch it.
The problem is I tried to set boolvalue from true to false. Which activate the neons color. And it keeps getting the same result.

ServerScripts:

local tweenservice = game:GetService("TweenService")
local runservice = game:GetService("RunService")

local info = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Exponential, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)

local touched = false
local AllowOpen = script.Parent.AllowOpen

local HeartBeat

HeartBeat = runservice.Heartbeat:Connect(function ()
	for i, door in pairs(script.Parent.Parent.D1:GetDescendants()) do
		if door:IsA("Part") and door.Name == "NeonActivator" then
			if not touched then
				if AllowOpen.Value == true then
					local t = tweenservice:Create(door, TweenInfo.new(.5), {Color = Color3.fromRGB(116, 166, 118)})

					t:Play()
				else
					local f = tweenservice:Create(door, TweenInfo.new(.5), {Color = Color3.fromRGB(166, 166, 166)})

					f:Play()
				end

			end
		end
	end
end)

local function Open_door(hit)
	for i, door in pairs(script.Parent.Parent.D1:GetDescendants()) do
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

		if player and AllowOpen.Value == true then

			HeartBeat:Disconnect()
			script.Parent.CanTouch = false

			if door:IsA("Part") then
				local opentween = tweenservice:Create(door, info, {Position = door.Position + Vector3.new(0,10,0)})

				opentween:Play()
			end

			if door:IsA("Part") and door.Name == "NeonActivator" then
				local opentween = tweenservice:Create(door, TweenInfo.new(.5), {Color = Color3.fromRGB(206, 90, 90)})

				opentween:Play()
			end

		end
	end	
end





script.Parent.Touched:Connect(Open_door)

I tried using something like .Changed and GetPropertyChangedSignal() and I’m still confuse with those things. Could you give me an example or a short script that will make me understand easier?

Using a while loop (or in this case you’re using RunService.Heartbeat event) to achieve detect if something has changed can tank up performance (as a for loop is created and required to iterate).

And this is the exact reason why events exist. They only get fired when they detect a change.

In your case, since you’re using a BoolValue, you should use its Changed event, connect a function to it which, firstly, checks the new boolean value, then change the door’s colour based on the value using if statements.

Thanks for the information. I’ll go think how to use by myself. Or maybe you can give me an example script.

I believe I have explained all the things you need to know. But whatever, here’s one example script.

BoolValue.Changed:Connect(function(newValue)
    if newValue then -- it's true.
        -- code here
    else -- it's false.
        -- code here
    end
end)
