Help with events?
I was trying to update the position of the players head every time the position is changed but I got an error:
Changed is not a valid member
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
Player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(Character)
-----------------------------------------------------
Head = Character:FindFirstChild("Head")
Head.Position.Changed:connect(function()
local Ray = Ray.new(Head.Position,
Head.CFrame.lookVector.unit*1000)
local Hit = Workspace:FindPartOnRay(Ray)
if not Hit then
print("Nope")
else
print(Hit)
end
end)
end)
end)

You cannot use the Changed event on the Position property because it consists of 3 other properties - X, Y, and Z. You mayt be able to use the Changed event on a specific scale but not as specifying them all. Goulstem 8144 — 10y

You're trying to call the Changed event on a property, which will not work, thus stating Changed is not a valid member of the property. The event is located in the object, the actual head part.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
Player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(Character)
Head = Character:WaitForChild("Head") --In case the head isn't found when you spawn.
Head.Changed:connect(function(prop) --We call the Changed event on the head part.
if prop == "Position" then --The check to see if the property that changed is the position property.
local Ray = Ray.new(Head.Position,
Head.CFrame.lookVector.unit*1000)
local Hit = Workspace:FindPartOnRay(Ray)
if not Hit then
print("Nope")
else
print(Hit)
end
end
end)
end)
end)

Note that Physics changes DO NOT fire the Changed event (e.g., normal motion will not triggered a "Changed" for Position) BlueTaslem 18071 — 10y

@Blue Thanks for the heads up. Spongocardo 1991 — 10y
