I think you should do this print(clown) after you local clown and check it nil or not. It will help us easy to know the problem. Block_manvn 395 — 4y

How do you know it doesn't fire the Event? Maybe it does but there's something wrong in your LocalScript so it doesn't detect it? Spjureeedd 385 — 4y

:GetPropertyChangedSignal() is a function that listen to the changing of specific property and fire Changed event when the property changed. But I think Nosh doesn't need it now. Block_manvn 395 — 4y

I know PrismaticFruits already tried to answer with this and people in his comments correct him. But just so that you see it and understand I will explain it in full.

So GetPropertyChangedSignal(string PropertyName) is a function of Instance that listens to changes made to the specified property and returns an event that you can then connect to. Which in turn allows you to detect changes made to that property.

Example code:

clown:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function() -- Get event that listens to "Value" property changes, I am assuming that this is some form of value instance
    remote:FireClient(plr, "CClown")
end)
