Value.Changed not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi, today I was working on my game when Value.Changed wasn’t working. It has always worked before. Am I doing anything wrong?

Value.Changed:Connect(function()
    --Code
end)
#2

I believe you have to put

Value:Changed()
end)

#3

Is this a local script or a server script, and how are you changing the value (through a script or through the properties tab)? You did format it correctly so it should be working.

#4

No, the way the OP typed it is correct

Its a server script, and I am changing the value through a server script

That doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. Value.Changed is an RBXScriptSignal, not a function.

#7

Could you add a while loop right below the changed function to check if it is registering the change.

Value.Changed:Connect(function()
    --Code
end)

while wait() do
    print(Value.Value)
end

How did you define the variable?

#9 
local Value = --Path to value
#10

Did you try what I said to see if it recognizes the change. Also are there any errors in the output?

#11

I am trying that right that right now, it has not shown any errors yet

#12

I guess you do this:

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

I don’t see how it’s any different though from the original way though

#13

I tried it, and I set the value to 5 via script, and it is still showing up as 0

#14

There is no point in doing that since ValueBase objects already use modified Changed events that only fire when Value property changes.

#15

I just thought of that and edited my post.

#16

Make sure the function is connected to the actual value object and not the value of the object.

I feel like my Roblox Studio is just being buggy right now

#18

Question, which valuebase object are you using?

#19

I am currently using a numbervalue

Okay and where is this script located that contains the code to connect a function to Changed event and what kind of script is it?
