Script not detecting if value

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

As the title states. I tried doing Turned.Changed function but it wasn’t working either.

The code:

local play = true
local debounce = false
local Turned = game.ReplicatedStorage.Turned


while play do
	task.wait()
	if game.ReplicatedStorage.Turned.Value == true then
		if not debounce then
			debounce = true
			script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Dark green")
			game.ReplicatedStorage.Temp.Value += 1
			task.wait(1)
			debounce = false
		end
	else
		script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
	end
end
#2 
game.ReplicatedStorage.Turned:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function(TheChangedValue)
print(TheChangedValue)
end)
#3

This doesn’t work for me.

This text will be blurred

I added a print(“e”) under it, and it wouldn’t print.

@Zerxiase
I am detecting it from a script inside a part inside workspace.

#4

Are you changing the value on the Server or Client? And are you detecting the Value to be changed on the Client or Server?

#5

Where are you changing the value? The server or client?

#6

Not sure how to tell if it is or isnt.

Oh it’s server I think

Yup it is

#7

You’re using a sceipt to change the value - server.
You’re using a local script to change the value - client.

#8

Try this and tell me if it prints anything:

--//Services
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

--//Variables
local Turned = ReplicatedStorage.Turned
local Part = script.Parent

--//Controls
local play = true
local debounce = false

--//Functions
local function ValueChanged()
	print("Check1")
	
	if not play then
		return
	end
	
	print("Check2")

	if Turned.Value then
		if debounce then
			return
		end
		
		print("Successful1")
		debounce = true
		
		Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Dark green")
		ReplicatedStorage.Temp.Value += 1
		
		task.wait(1)
		debounce = false
	else
		print("Successful2")
		Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
	end
end

ValueChanged()

Turned:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	ValueChanged()
end)

“Successful one” is not working, but everything else is. Even when the value is set to true “Successful” won’t play.

#10

Do you set the value on the client or server? You have to set it on the server for it to replicate.

#11

I set it inside a script, which is inside a part, which is inside workspace. It is not a local script, a regular script.

#12

I did a test with a script in server script service saying: game.ReplicatedStorage.Lightsout = true

and it wouldn’t make it true.

I then tried the same thing but a script in workspace, and it wouldn’t make it true either.

So what is wrong?

#13

That’s a totally different value. Change that to this:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Turned.Value = true
#14

I know, I made a new value in replicated storage, even the one you said wouldn’t work.

You should try it if you make a script in server script service or workspace.

#15

What? I don’t get what your saying, sorry.

I did a test with a script that was setting a value in replicated storage to true. I put that script on both workspace and server script service to test if it would work, and it wouldn’t. Neither would detecting if the value is true.

#17

Bumping cause I still need help.

#18

You’re not even setting the value in this block you gave…

I made a mistake writing it here but even the correct way it does not work in studio.

#20

The main problem of the script is that when a boolvalue turns true,

if game.ReplicatedStorage.ValueNameHere.Value == true then

that line of code won’t detect and won’t work.
