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:
1 | repeat wait() until ManualTrigger:Connect() |
2 |
3 | Part = Instance.new("Part") |
4 | Part.Parent = game.Workspace |
5 |
6 | ManualTrigger = game.ReplicatedStorage.ManualTrigger.OnServerEvent:Connect(function() |
7 | print("Fired") |
8 | end) |
OR
01 | spawn(function() |
02 | while true do |
03 | wait() |
04 | if ManualTrigger:Connect() then |
05 | print("ManualTrigger fired.") |
06 | end |
07 | end |
08 | end) |
09 |
10 | ManualTrigger = game.ReplicatedStorage.ManualTrigger.OnServerEvent:Connect(function() |
11 | print("Fired") |
12 | 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
01 | local Fired = false |
02 |
03 | game.ReplicatedStorage.ManualTrigger.OnServerEvent:Connect(function() |
04 | print("Fired") |
05 | Fired = true |
06 | end) |
07 |
08 | repeat wait() until Fired == true |
09 |
10 | Part = Instance.new("Part") |
11 | 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
