how do i make a script that detects when a value has changed?
im trying to make a script that will tell you what music is playing. so the text will be the same as the status but how do i make a script that checks if status has changed? this is what i tried
local status = game.StarterGui.MusicStatus
local text = script.Parent
status.Value.Changed:Connect(function()
text.Text = status
end)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local status = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("MusicStatus")
local text = script.Parent
status.Value.Changed:Connect(function()
text.Text = status
end)
You didn't use PlayerGui.

.Changed only works with string values. Insert a string value into ReplicatedStorage first. You can name it Status. Then you can change its value any time. Replace your script with this (make sure it's a LocalScript as well):
local status = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Status")
local text = script.Parent
text.Text = status.Value
status.Changed:Connect(function()
text.Text = status.Value
end)
Hope this helps!
