I need a tool to detect a change of a value in Workspace, but the script won't detect it, any help?
while true do
if game.Workspace.Value.Value == 1 then
script.Parent.Part.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
else
script.Parent.Part.Material = Enum.Material.Plastic
end
wait(1)
end
This is the script I've used, won't work.
A Better Way To Do This Would Be To Use The Instance:GetPropertyChangedSignal. This Allows you to run a function when a specific property has been changed. For Example:
local value = workspace.Value --Just An Example
local Part = script.Parent --The Actual Script's Parent
value:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function() --Takes Name Of Property For Parameter
if value.Value == 1 then --If Equal to 1 then
Part.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
else --if not
Part.Material = Enum.Material.Plastic
end
end)
I've tested this and it works perfectly, uses much less resources than constantly checking.
Hope this helps
look at your type of script, you should use script instead of local script. And make sure that you're changing the value so the material could be changing
if you want to make a tool then you need to use local script and use fireserver() here is the example localscript inside tool
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function() --this event triggered when you click the tool
workspace.RemoteEvent:FireServer()
end)
script inside serverscriptservice
workspace.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
if game.Workspace.Value.Value == 1 then --when the tool is clicked and the value is 1 then it will change the material
workspace.Part.Material = Enum.Material.Neon --insert your part here
else
workspace.Part.Material = Enum.Material.Plastic --insert your part here
end
end)
let me know if it helps
So, do I have to make a RemoteEvent?
yes of course

If within a tool, use the activated event like BlackBooks did and fire the server
It didnt work for me
Because the value isn't 1, switch to server mode and change the value to 1
I thought you could change the things without using server mode, thanks
yeah you can't because of filtering enabled, stops clients editing things on server side
tell me if it works
it does
k thats good
