How to use a function when a value "Changes"?
So, I made a map loading script, and the problem is that the script, is ment to pick one of the 5 maps randomly, it works, the porblem is that it does it too many times, it's only ment to do it once. Well, I know what to do to fix it, I just don't know how... I mean I know I have to use it as a function, not a while wait.. And I know that theres a way to do the function whenever a value changes... I just don't know how! Help?
01 | RoundStart = game.Workspace.RoundStart |
02 | Room1 = game.ServerStorage.Room1 |
03 | Room2 = game.ServerStorage.Room2 |
04 | Room3 = game.ServerStorage.Room3 |
05 | Room4 = game.ServerStorage.Room4 |
06 | Room5 = game.ServerStorage.Room5 |
07 |
08 | while wait() do |
09 | wait(1) |
10 | if RoundStart.Value == true then |
11 | RandomRoom = (math.random(5)) |
12 | if RandomRoom == 1 then |
13 | Map1 = Room1:Clone() |
14 | Map1.Parent = game.Workspace |
15 | end |

Um what? If you only want it to happen once then don't put it in a loop. Or if you want put it in a function so you can call it multiple times. NotsoPenguin 705 — 10y

Yeah, I know the point is, I want to put it in a function, I just don't know what... Event?.. To use to use that function when the bool value "RoundStart" Changes.. lucas4114 607 — 10y

I think you SHOULD make all of your Map1 =... be a local Map1 alphawolvess 1784 — 10y

The reason it isn't picking random number is because you didn't give it a range, which it requires. So do:
1 | RandomRoom = math.random(1,5) or math.random(5) |
also I noticed your script says:
1 | while wait() do |
2 | wait(1) |
which isn't necessary, you can just do
1 | while wait() do |
2 | --or |
3 | while wait(1) do |
4 | --the difference is "1" is every second, and () is much faster |
NOW TO ANSWER THE MAIN PART OF YOUR QUESTION
To connect when a value changes use
1 | game.Workspace.RoundStart.Changed:connect(function() |
2 | --do whatever |
3 | end) |

You're incorrect in regards to his attempt of picking a random number - math.random(5) would work exactly the same if he did math.random(1,5) - If the random number he wanted wasn't between 1 and 5, but rather 5 and 10, he would need to dictate "a range". DataStore 530 — 10y

Yeah, the random thing DID work for me my way too... lucas4114 607 — 10y
