"Maximum event re-entrancy depth exceeded for IntValue.Changed"

Why is this happening?

local damage = player:WaitForChild("Data").Damage
local Strength =  player:WaitForChild("Data").Strength
Strength.Changed:Connect(function()
	Strength.Value = Strength.Value
end)
damage.Changed:Connect(function()
	damage.Value = damage.Value + Strength.Value
end)
#2

Don’t change the Damage or Strength value inside the actual .Changed event, you’re creating an infinite loop

My guess is because of this, you’re firing the Event way too much times every time that gets changed which is resulting in OVER 500,000 CHANGES in a second

#4

Oh, What do i do? Do i put it outside of the .Changed Event?

#5

How do i prevent this form happening again? Do i move the damage.Value part

#6

You could create a dummy IntValue and detect changes in that and send that to the main IntValue

example

DummyIntValue.Changed:Connect(function()
   MainIntValue.Value = DummyIntValue.Value + IntValue.Value
end)
#7

Is there another way other than this?

#8

You could put a debounce inside the .Changed event but depending on the situation, it could mess up your code if the value being calculated is crucial

#9

I did the other one and it works now thanks, but what happens if the same problem happens again?

#10

As far as I know, the problem shouldn’t occur again unless you’re changing the values quickly (for example, every frame) or changing it inside the .Changed event.
