My function is not running when calling?

I'm trying to make a lamp that turns off during the day. I'm also trying to make it compatible with FE. I can't test it when I cannot run the function.

function fireServ()
        script.Parent:WaitForChild("ChangeLight"):FireServer()
        print("Fired!")
    end

if 1 + 1 == 2 then
    fireServ()
end

The output logs say nothing about there being error nor printing, "Fired!". I don't know what I'm doing wrong?

edit ; It's in a LocalScript if that helps.

To do this, use the Script, not LocalScript

function fireServ()
        script.Parent:WaitForChild("ChangeLight"):FireServer()
        print("Fired!")
end

local s = 1
if s + 1 == 2 then
    fireServ()
end

If not working, then the problem is in the line: script.Parent:WaitForChild("ChangeLight"):FireServer() because if you replace it on the workspace.Baseplate.Transparency = 1 then everything works fine Astrogue 75 — 7y
