There is no need for that. You don't need an if statement for a print statement. You can use a variable instead, if you'd like. Print() should be used for troubleshooting purposes only. Dovydas1118 1495 — 4y

Just use a variable, or a debounce. Only use a print statement for troubleshooting. You can print the variable. Dovydas1118 1495 — 4y

_G seems like the best case for this one. Don't use _G unless you're 4000% sure that the variable you're looking for is initialized at every single time you need it, but in this case you don't need to know if it's initialized or not. Fifkee 2017 — 4y

From this devForum, roblox recommends that you use module scripts instead of _G. https://devforum.roblox.com/t/g-or-modulescripts/173421/2 Dovydas1118 1495 — 4y

You could use the LogService.. it allows you to listen for when text is printed in the output.. Although I recommend only using it for logging purposes, it should work for your purpose..
1 | local LogService = game:GetService("LogService"); |
2 |
3 | LogService.MessageOut:Connect(function(message, messageType) |
4 | if not (messageType == enum.MessageType.MessageOutput) then return end |
5 | if(message == "buffed" then |
6 | --the code to increase damage goes here |
7 | end |
8 | end) |

Set "buffed" script:
1 | local buffed = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Buffed?") --Name and location of your boolValue |
2 |
3 | buffed.Value = true |
Read "buffed" script:
1 | local buffed = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Buffed?") |
2 |
3 | buffed.Changed:Connect(function() |
4 | if buffed.Value == true then |
5 | --Code |
6 | end |
7 | end) |

(I think the scripts in this answer are pretty self-explanatory) IAmNotTheReal_MePipe 418 — 4y

As far as I am concerned, that is not possible. Just simply use a variable like this:
1 | local buffed = true |
2 |
3 | if buffed then |
4 | --Increase damage |
5 | else |
6 | --Do nothing |
7 | end |
In other words, instead of doing a print, change the variable.
Hope this helped!

You would use either boolValue Instances that are checked in both scripts or by using remoteEvents (check my answer for the boolValue method) IAmNotTheReal_MePipe 418 — 4y
