Type 'boolean' could not be converted into '() -> ()'

Hi there!

I’ve recently got the error “Type ‘boolean’ could not be converted into ‘() → ()’” which I’ve not had before. I’m aware about typechecking and stuff like that, I just want to know how I get rid of this error, and what () → () actually means.
Here’s the script segment I get this error on:

Prompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
	if PropHeld == false then
		PropHeld = true --Error here
		PropService.PropPickup(Prop, Attachment0)
		HeartbeatConnection = RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(PropHeld)
		print("Prop")
	elseif PropHeld == true then
		PropService.PropDrop(Prop)
		PropHeld = false --Error here
		HeartbeatConnection:Disconnect()
	end
end)

This is the only time PropHeld is referenced besides being defined (local PropHeld = false).
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks

It means a variable is a function, check if you have any reference to a function with that variable.

Ah, yeah. Problem is I accidentally named a function the same as that variable. Good to know, thanks!
