.changed on boolvalue not triggering?

(bump) Hi everyone! First of all, thanks for taking your time to read this question. I'm making a script that triggers when the value from a boolvalue changed. This is my script:

print('starting')
script.Parent.Changed:connect(function()
    print('changed')
    script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Littletrigger.Value = true
    wait(0.1)
    script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Littletrigger.Value = false
end)

I do always see "starting" in the output but when i change the value, i never see "changed" in the output. Also, i'm not getting any errors.... The localscript is in the boolvalue itself. Why a local script? This is my explorer:

StarterGui ScreenGui AvailableRooms BoolValue LocalScript

Thanks in advance for your help!, Jonas

Do you mean you are manually changing the BoolValue in the explorer and not seeing "changed" in the output? vector3_zero 1056 — 6y

I'd suggest using the new method of instances, Instance:GetPropertyChangedSignal(string Property)

This can be used to use a Changed event just for one property, and it's guaranteed to work 100% of the time.

script.Parent:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
    --code here
end)

Hope this helps, if you have any questions, feel free to comment.
