Is there any way for a script to know exactly when a function connects?
I'm trying to make a script that waits until a certain function fires. Is this possible?
Example of what i'm talking about:
repeat wait() until ManualTrigger:Connect()
Part = Instance.new("Part")
Part.Parent = game.Workspace
ManualTrigger = game.ReplicatedStorage.ManualTrigger.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
print("Fired")
end)
OR
spawn(function()
while true do
wait()
if ManualTrigger:Connect() then
print("ManualTrigger fired.")
end
end
end)
ManualTrigger = game.ReplicatedStorage.ManualTrigger.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
print("Fired")
end)
All help is appreciated.

You can make a variable and set it to true as soon as the event is fired, and make the loop wait until it's equal to true like this
local Fired = false
game.ReplicatedStorage.ManualTrigger.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
print("Fired")
Fired = true
end)
repeat wait() until Fired == true
Part = Instance.new("Part")
Part.Parent = game.Workspace

I was considering using that beforehand, but like Pupppy44 said, I could also use game.ReplicatedStorage.ManualTrigger.OnServerEvent:Wait() which worked fine. I'll accept anyways ErskinePierre 48 — 4y
