Code Not Functioning?

The code doesnt work, or show any errors? please help me fix it! thanks for reading! im trying to clone a sword into the players invintory and have a value inside the local script with a texture to change the swords mesh texture! THX!

if game.workspace.Gamestart.Value == true then
	 local sword = game.ReplicatedStorage.ClassicSword:Clone()
	 sword.Parent = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Backpack
	 sword.Handle.Mesh.TextureId = script:WaitForChild("TextureId").Value
end

Your code is probably checking that once, finding it false, and never executing. There are two ways to check if a value has changed: use the .changed event or use a while loop to check every so often.

The first method is generally always better than the second, and is used like so:

function gameStart() --the stuff you want to do when Gamestart is true
	local sword = game.ReplicatedStorage.ClassicSword:Clone()
	sword.Parent = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Backpack
	sword.Handle.Mesh.TextureId = script:WaitForChild("TextureId").Value
end

if workspace.Gamestart.Value == true then gameStart() end --runs an initial check to see if it's already true

local connector
connector = workspace.Gamestart.Changed:connect(function(val) --runs every time the value is changed
	if val == true then gameStart() connector:disconnect() end --calls the function only if the value is true and essentially turns off the checking
end)

By the way, workspace is a defined variable that returns the same thing as game.workspace, so that can shorten a few lines.

#Problems

• If then statement checking once
• When it runs the value is false
• code wont run

#Changed Instead of looping to check it or something we can see if the value changes:

workspace.Gamestart.Changed:connect(function(a)
	print("Gamestart's "..a.." has been changed to "..workspace.Gamestart[a])
end)

#Final Product

workspace.Gamestart.Changed:connect(function(val)
	if val == "Value" and game.workspace.Gamestart.Value then
		local sword = game.ReplicatedStorage.ClassicSword:Clone()
	     	sword.Parent = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Backpack
		sword.Handle.Mesh.TextureId = script:WaitForChild("TextureId").Value
	end
end

Hope it helps!
