Checking the current "PlaceVersion" versus the most recent PlaceVersion?
I'm trying to make an automatic Place Version checker, which see's if the servers' game version is the same at the most recent one.
I'm aware of the PlaceVersion method, but am unaware of how to use it. Could someone give me an example?

As I posted before, and was quick to accept it, this is a working method of this. It takes up to a full minute to register that there was an update. Sadly, we can't make that any slower, as it is on roblox's servers.
But here you go:
local GameID = 00000000;
local Asset = game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):GetProductInfo(GameID) -- My place Id
local tracker = Instance.new("StringValue")
tracker.Name = "UpdateTracker"
tracker.Parent = script
tracker.Value = Asset.Updated
spawn(function()
while wait(5) do
local newTime = game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):GetProductInfo(GameID).Updated
if newTime ~= tracker.Value then
--do things here.
end
end
end)

Thanks so much. I saw something about MarketplaceService, but had no clue how to incorporate it. TheHospitalDev 1134 — 8y
