How would I make a script fire when a number value hits a certain number

Okay so lets say for example I want a script to fire when a number value hits 4 and something happens
so what I would want to achieve here is a script that checks the number values value and when it detects that the values is 4 and fires the scripts
this is something I wrote that checks for the number value

local NumberValue = workspace.NumberValue
if NumberValue.Value == 4 then
--do stuff
end

What I think the problem may be is the script checks once, sees that the number value isn’t 4 and goes to sleep, any tips on making it work?

Try using this then you can put your statements in it.

You can use the GetPropertyChangedSignal() event (or event the Changed event) to detect when a value changes.
Here is your code:

local NumberValue = workspace:WaitForChild("NumberValue")

NumberValue:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	if NumberValue.Value == 4 then
		-- your stuff
	end
end)

if it is a NumberValue, you only need Changed

Its still good practice to use GetPropertyChangedSignal rather then Changed.

it shouldn’t be used if you want to change a NumberValue’s Value property

local NumberValue = workspace:WaitForChild("NumberValue")

NumberValue:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	if NumberValue.Value == 4 then
		-- your stuff
	end
end)

local NumberValue = workspace:WaitForChild("NumberValue")

NumberValue.Changed:Connect(function()
	if NumberValue.Value == 4 then
		-- your stuff
	end
end)

because of how NumberValues work, these two scripts work the exact same way

Would this also be capable of firing remote events?

you can fire remote events inside a connection

local NumberValue = workspace:WaitForChild("NumberValue")

NumberValue.Changed:Connect(function()
    if NumberValue.Value == 4 then
        RemoteEvent:FireServer()
    end
end)

EDIT: I still had that script in a quote for some reason
