I need help with two problems

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Okay so, the actual scripts seem to work. I can see that they trigger what needs to be triggered in the properties menu, but it does not occur in game.

First problem:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		wait(1)	
		game.Workspace.Values.Warning.Value = true
	end
end)

This code is designed to activate a bool value when the player walks through an invisible part that sets off a series of events necessary to the experience. It actually works; the “warning” value is set to true in properties, but it does not function in game unless “warning” is set to true before playtesting the game.
What’s the deal? Why won’t the events attached to the value occur when the value is activated by the player collision?

Second problem (script shortened to highlight the area of issue):

local tv = script.Parent
local eas = tv.EAS
local ssss = tv.Static
local screen = tv.SurfaceGui
local warning = game.Workspace.Values.Warning
local outage = game.Workspace.Values.Outage
local val = game.Workspace.Values

if outage.Value == true then
	game.Workspace.ZAP:Play()
	eas:Stop()
	screen.Enabled = false
	tv.Ssss.Enabled = false
	tv.Decal1.Transparency = 1
	tv.Decal2.Transparency = 1
	tv.Decal3.Transparency = 1
	val.LightBD = false
	val.LightBR = false
	val.LightKT = false
	val.LightLR = false
	screen.Enabled = false
	wait(1)
	game.Workspace.STORMSOUNDS.ThunderRumble:Play()
	wait(3)
	game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextBox.Visible = true
	game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextBox.Text = "[Text]"
	wait (5)
	game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextBox.Visible = false
end

This string of functions simulates a blackout in the game. Only half of it works. Once the “outage” value is triggered, everything follows as it’s supposed to until after wait(1). The thunder doesn’t play and the text GUI doesn’t show. Why are these things just cut off like that? What needs to be changed so that the whole string works?

Thanks in advance for the help, everyone. This may or may not be a huge thing because I’m just an amateur, but I appreciate it greatly as help to get this project out.
Please ask questions if you need more context or understanding!

For the first problem, try using a :GetPropertyChangedSignal() event in the “series of events” script to trigger when the value changes.

For the second problem, you are changing the StarterGui. This will not change the UI due to it not being parented to the PlayerGui. Instead, I recommend using a remote event to fire all clients, then use a local script inside the UI to make it visible.

Hope this helped.

Does it matter if prob1 and prob2 are both different scripts in different groups? I’m trying to implement the :GetPropertyChangedSignal() thing into prob2’s (in the section where I probably should not have cut out). I don’t want to ask you to write out the script for me because how would I learn his complicated stuff, but could you guide me to where precisely a :GetPropertyChangedSignal() should go? — in the initial if/then statement or somewhere inside of it?
