Why can't I print the Internal Values provided by Changed event?

Asked by

Hello, I was using the Changed event on the Humanoid of my player to print out what is changing as I move

humanoid.Changed:connect(function(property)
    print(property)
end)

and my output returns: "MoveDirection" "MoveDirectionInternal"

However, when I use the following code to print out the values of all properties changed:

humanoid.Changed:connect(function(property)
    print(humanoid[property])
end)

My output returns: "0, 0, -1" "MoveDirectionInternal is not a valid member of Humanoid"

I was wondering why this happens and if there are ways to print Internal values or skip over them?

hmm, that's weird, it's like returning the value but at the same time it is thinking that the property is acting up as a child of Humanoid starmaq 1290 — 5y

not sure if you can bypass that honestly starmaq 1290 — 5y

The 'property' parameter is the property that was changed, not the value is was changed to.

Take this code for example:

Code:

```lua local Part = Instance.new("Part") Part.Parent = workspace

Part.Changed:Connect(function(Property) print("Name of property: "..Property) print("New value of property: "..Part[Property]) end

wait()

Part.Name = "I changed this property" ```

Output:

--> Name of property: Name --> New value of property: I changed this property

Source: Instance.Changed

Hope this helps.
