simple changed event not firing

[radiant beacon]

    
artView.Changed:Connect(function()
    if artView.Value == true then
        script.Parent.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 0
        print("disabling click detector")
    else
        script.Parent.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 32
    end
end)

I can confirm that artView does change values multiple times while playing and not once did it print "disabling click detector

Im kinda stumped because it seems so simple yet it wont work

[cold vector]

Did you actually test it by using a print statement?

[radiant beacon]

yes

it never prints

** You are now Level 9! **

[cold vector]

Odd, my main guess at that point is that the change doesn’t replicate. Quick question, what kind of script is this and in what container is it located?

[radiant beacon]

server script located in a part

    print("changed")
    if artView.Value == true then
        script.Parent.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 0
        print("disabling click detector")
    else
        script.Parent.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 32
    end
end)``` 

doesnt work either so im guessing its not recognizing thats its changing

[cold vector]

I would definitely just disable the clickdetectors via the client to be frank. As else nobody can see it

Or is that the idea?

[radiant beacon]

im not sure how to do that actually i didnt know you could

its a singleplayer game so it doesnt matter the player'

[cold vector]

If you change something via a local script then it will only be visible for that client

[cold vector]

Oh okay

[radiant beacon]

i guess i can make a new local script to try

[cold vector]

Try printing the artview var. Just to check if it’s nil

[cold vector]

Eh, it shouldn’t matter at that point. Just wanted to preemptively solve that potential issue

[radiant beacon]

not nil

what if i remove the click detector

well actually that wont work

i might just use a remote event

[cold vector]

Does the value get changed via client side or via server side?

[radiant beacon]

let me check but im pretty sure its client

yes its client

[cold vector]

Then my guess is that the change doesn’t occur on the server

You could then just use a remote event to be frank

[radiant beacon]

ill try doing that

[cold vector]

A hint, just make it so the client has a var like:

local artview = false

Then before firing the RE do

artview = not artview
RE:FireClient(plr, artview)

[worthy portal]

yo random person here do you mind sending a screenshot of the script i might be able to find the problem like that

[cold vector]

It’s just a replication issue

[worthy portal]

ok

[radiant beacon]

so i want to fire this new event from a local script so i :FireServer and i want it to pass an argument whether its true or not when I recieve that event in the click detector script how do i differentiate the paramaters so one thing happens if its true and another if its false

[cold vector]

Oh yeah, you’re right about the :FireServer, sorry
And yes, just an if else would work for that last part

[radiant beacon]

but how do i get the param of the script into the scope of the loop if that makes sense

[cold vector]

Just remember

:FireServer(Var1, Var2)

gets turned into

.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, Var1, Var2)

[cold vector]

Sorry, what loop?

[radiant beacon]

not loop but the if statement

[cold vector]

Oh, same way as you’re doing it now

[radiant beacon]

so i would do if var 1 is true then do this else do something else?

[cold vector]

if Var = true then
set to 0
else
set to 32
end

[radiant beacon]

ah okay

[cold vector]

Yes

[radiant beacon]

ill try

[cold vector]

Or go for some fancy bool logic

[radiant beacon]

i got confused there for a second

[cold vector]

Sorry, mobile copy paste, didn’t notice the text down there

[radiant beacon]

not realy sure how to go about this because it says unknown global Var1

im not very experienced with events

[cold vector]

Well yes, you didn't make the variable

[radiant beacon]

i did that and its returning what i wanted to

[cold vector]

.

[radiant beacon]

i got it to work!

thank you so much
