What does "attempted to index number with 'Changed' event" mean?
I made a script that would fire whenever a player's leaderboard points changes however its giving me this error:
00:42:37.830 - Workspace.Script:11: attempt to index number with 'Changed'
Does this mean that I can't use numbers with the changed event? This is my entire script if it helps:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local Points = Instance.new("IntValue")
Points.Name = "Points"
Points.Parent = leaderstats
Points.Value.Changed:Connect(function(Value)
if Value == 5 then
game.Workspace.door1.Transparency = 0.5
game.Workspace.door1.CanCollide = false
end
end)
end)

you are trying to get .changed event on an integer or number value. .Changed is not an event of a integer or string you should instead be doing something like below this might have syntax errors but you should follow it
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local Points = Instance.new("IntValue")
Points.Name = "Points"
Points.Parent = leaderstats
Points.Changed:Connect(function(Value) -- get changed of object not objects value
if tostring(Value) == "Value" then -- if property is value
if Value == 5 then
game.Workspace.door1.Transparency = 0.5
game.Workspace.door1.CanCollide = false
end
end
end)
end)

It's ultimately best to hone in onto the property that changed—the signal activates upon any adjustment. You can do this with Points:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(callback) Ziffixture 6913 — 3y

no, it doesnt really make a difference when you take in to account everything else misha123 83 — 3y

Feahren, it's actually better to use .Changed in this instance because we're dealing with Value objects, the .Changed event with only check for changes in the value which uses less resources than the GetPropertyChangedSignal listener. SteamG00B 1633 — 3y

Thanks for it Ziffixture. Never before heard about var:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(callback) ErtyPL 129 — 2y
