After doing some research, I found that the Changed event, which fires when a property of an object changes, does not fire when the velocity of that object has changed. I am working on a script to keep a player on a (will be in game) uncontrollable platform, and I need the exact moment on which the velocity of the part it is standing on changes. I already know how to find the platform, I just need to know which event to use. Help?

How can I find out when the velocity of an part has been changed? What event would I use?

There isn't necessarily an event for that, but you could make a function that checks if the old velocity is different from the current velocity in a while loop.
local part = workspace.Part --Define the part
local oldVel = part.Velocity --define initial velocity
function hasChanged(part)
if part.Velocity ~= oldVel then
oldVel = part.Velocity
return true
else
return false
end
end
while wait() do
if hasChanged(part) == true then
--your code
end
end
