Can you make :Wait() only connect if a certain parameter of the event has a certain value?
Y'know the RobloxScriptService thing :Wait()?
like
1 | -- :GetService() is for the laughs |
2 | game:GetService("Workspace").Part.Touched:Wait() |
3 | -- blab |
I was wondering if you could like, make it so that the event would only get through :Wait() if a parameter of it had a certain value.
I mean like sorta like
01 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(otherThing) |
02 | local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(otherThing.Parent) |
03 | if player then |
04 | game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").TouchEvent:FireClient(player) |
05 | -- importent |
06 | script.Parent.TouchEnded:Wait(otherPart = otherThing) |
07 | -- end |
08 | game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").MoveEvent:FireClient(player) |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
Soo.... yes or no?

RBXScriptSignal:Wait() takes no arguments, but it returns the values the event was fired with, so we could do this:
1 | local touchedPart = part.Touched:Wait() |
2 |
3 | if touchedPart.Name ~= "The Part We Want" then |
4 | return |
5 | end |

Yes, you can.
If you use repeat wait(), you can repeat the wait command until a certain parameter has been met. For example:
1 | repeat wait() until game.Workspace.Part.CanCollide==false |
This would wait until the Part does not Collide before proceeding onto the next part of your code.

But how do I do it with events like TouchEnded? sweetkid01 176 — 6y

This isn't what he was asking, and you should use Instance:GetPropertyChangedSignal() to check for properties being changed when possible anyway. Avigant 2374 — 6y
