How can I detect when a boolvalue's value is changed?

Asked 274 views2 answers

Hi! I want to print something whenever a boolvalue's value is changed but I'm having problems. Help?

Script(in workspace):

local prompt = script.Parent

prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	print("Activated") --this works
	
	local grappleAction = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Grapple"):FindFirstChild("shouldGrapple")
	grappleAction.Value = true --this works
	wait(1)
	grappleAction.Value = false --this works too
end)

Local Script(in startercharacterscripts):

local Action = script.shouldGrapple

Action.Changed:Connect(function(newvalue)
	print(newvalue)
end)

Exactly like in the script I posted. I double-checked the value in-game and it does change when it should. But for some reason the local script inside the player does not print when the value changes.

It doesn't print anything even when I change it from the server.

because the boolvalue never changes

I just said I'm changing it from the server. It does change and it does not print anything like it should.

local BoolValue = --Bool Value--
Boolvalue.Changed:Connect(Function()
--Do stuff
end)
