Can i use events as if statements?

Hi! So I'm creating my game and the game doesn't detect whenever the stage the player is in changes. So, I wanna know if I can use the Changed event as an if statement like for example

local specifiedStage = -- Source Code Can't Leak it

if specifiedStage.Changed then
-- Do coding
end

You can try this:

local specifiedStage = --your source code

specifiedStage.Changed:Connect(function(changed)
	--Do code
end)

This will make it so whenever the value is changed, it will run the function.
