Is there a way to detect if a variable has changed?
I am not talking about BoolValues or any type of Value, only variables.
I want to know if it's possible to detect if a variable has been set to true/false, kind of like the Changed event. But I recall trying to use the Changed event on a variable before, and it didn't work. Just a quick question, any help appreciated.

Using plain Lua variables? No, there isn't. You probably used the .Changed event on a BoolValue without knowing.
You can, however, use Roblox built-in BoolValues, NumberValues, StringValues (and other values) in your scripts and listen to their .Changed events. This is a common practice:
local str = Instance.new("StringValue")
val.Changed:Connect(function(newStr)
print(newStr)
end)
str.Value = "Hello, World!"

I knew about using the Changed event on a BoolValue, I was just wondering if I could do it with a variable. But thanks anyway. PyccknnXakep 1225 — 6y
