Changed event not working for some reason?
Whenever a player joins the game, the code below successfully adds a bool value and sets it to true, and the rest of the code is supposed to print whenever the value of the bool is changed. However, it's not printing anything.
local Player = game:GetService("Players")
function onPlayerAdded(player)
local bool = Instance.new("BoolValue", player)
bool.Name = "AliveStatus"
bool.Value = 1
print('Welcome, ' .. player.Name)
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerAdded)
while true do
wait(1)
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
status = v.AliveStatus
print(v.Name)
status.Changed:connect(function()
if(status.Value == 1) then
print('yes')
end
if(status.Value == 0) then
print('no')
end
end)
status.Value = 0
end
end
I'm not really sure what the problem is, any help is appreciated.
p.s. there are no errors, and the script does seem to run fine, as it prints the users name every second like it's supposed to, which makes me think it's running through the whole function, the changed event just isn't working :s

BoolValue stands for boolean value. You have 0 and 1, which are binary representations of booleans, but in Lua, booleans are represented by true and false. So, the value of a BoolValue must be either true or false.
local Player = game:GetService("Players")
function onPlayerAdded(player)
local bool = Instance.new("BoolValue", player)
bool.Name = "AliveStatus"
bool.Value = true
print('Welcome, ' .. player.Name)
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerAdded)
while true do
wait(1)
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
status = v.AliveStatus
print(v.Name)
status.Changed:connect(function()
if(status.Value == true) then
print('yes')
else -- Since it can only be false otherwise, you can condense it into if & else
print('no')
end
end)
status.Value = false
end
end
Hope this helped.
