So Im trying to make it so that when a variable changes

it fires something

for instance

Var = 0



--if it changes do something here

i dont think there's a direct way but u can fire a different function every time it changes like Var = 1 function() HappyTimIsHim 652 — 4y

lul i know a slightly better way than a while loop SoftlockedUnderZero 668 — 4y

For Values

script.Parent.Value.Changed:Connect(function(changed)
--Do whatever
end)

For Variables

while true do
    wait()
    if variable == true then
        --Do whatever
        return
    end
end

With physical values, do this:

local Value = script.Parent
Value.Changed:Connect(function()
    --Thing here
end

You could use a print statement and the GetPropertyChangedSignal event.

um he meant for variables not instances SoftlockedUnderZero 668 — 4y

Well. The guy did say for instance in his post Lakodex 711 — 4y

with that 'for instance' he means 'for example' aprilsfooled 29 — 4y
