How would I go on about making this script update when the text of something changes?

So I’m trying to make it when reason changes, it gets updated and gets sent. How would I do this?

local reason = script.Parent.Parent.Reason.Text
    script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    	game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.sendCall:FireServer(reason)
    end)
#2

You can use .FocusLost on the TextBox, and once the player clicks enter it will update (still a little confused on what you’re trying to get at, your description is a bit vague)

local reason = script.Parent.Parent.Reason
local sendCall = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('Remotes').sendCall

reason.FocusLost:Connect(function(enterPressed)
    if enterPressed then
        sendCall:FireServer(reason.Text)
    end
end)
#3

This doesn’t work, and adding on to my description, I mean like when the variable reason changes, which is connected to script.Parent.Parent.Reason.Text, so when the text changes, it gets updated.

Could I see the script which receives the event?

local sendCall = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.sendCall

local count = 0

When comparing strings you will have to address it for every string, so it should instead be

if v.Team.Name == "Police" or v.Team.Name == "Fire Department" or v.Team.Name == "EMT" or v.Team.Name == "DOT " or v.Team.Name == "Agency" then

Haven’t done that yet, pretty tired as it’s almost 10 for me.

I do know that there is something that detects change, which I believe it’s .Change, but I don’t know how to implement it in the first script.

#9 
local reason = script.Parent.Parent.Reason
reason:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
   game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.sendCall:FireServer(reason.Text)
end)
#10

This doesn’t work either, everytime I type in the specified area it’ll automatically send it. I tried to connect script.Parent to a MouseButton1Click but it doesn’t work anymore.

#11

Nevermind, I just fixed it. Thank you!

The final script was

local reason = script.Parent.Parent.Reason
reason:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
end)
script.parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.sendCall:FireServer(reason.Text)
end)
