try that

#

if it doesn't work i dunno

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:15 PM

pastel adder ```lua local lightonoff = game.ReplicatedStorage.chamberlights lightonoff.Chang...

i dont think "v" is a argument for that

#

you should do lightonoff.Value

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:15 PM

#

...

lime halo Aug 29, 2025, 12:15 PM

shadow wagon ```lua local lightonoff = game.ReplicatedStorage.chamberlights print("rr") -- lo...

there u go. i didn't need the highlighting my brain does that automatically but what was the problem exactly

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:16 PM

#

.Changed requires the BoolValue, not the Value of the BoolValue

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:16 PM

#

huh

#

i never use that

#

try lightonoff.Value instead

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:17 PM

#

the .changed isnt the issue

#

that runs perfectly

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:17 PM

#

it isnt

#

the issue is

#

if v == false then

lime halo Aug 29, 2025, 12:17 PM

#

shadow wagon .Changed requires the BoolValue, not the Value of the BoolValue

.Changed passes property name not new value https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Object#Changed

Object | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

Object is the base class for all classes in the Roblox class hierarchy.

#

If you are only interested in listening to the change of one specific property, consider using the GetPropertyChangedSignal() method instead.

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:17 PM

#

try

if lightonoff.Value == false then

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:17 PM

#

it passes the new value, wdym

lime halo Aug 29, 2025, 12:17 PM

#

shadow wagon it passes the new value, wdym

Changed does not pass new value, neither does propertychangedsignal

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:17 PM

#

it doesnt

#

the value is already changed

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:18 PM

#

coral flicker try if lightonoff.Value == false then

u have to use this

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:18 PM

#

does this answer your question

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:19 PM

#

can u just try?

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:19 PM

#

ok

#

nope

#

it doesnt work

lime halo Aug 29, 2025, 12:19 PM

#

shadow wagon ```lua local lightonoff = game.ReplicatedStorage.chamberlights print("rr") -- lo...

how did you manage to make this a bool local lightonoff = game.ReplicatedStorage.chamberlights 0.o

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:20 PM

#

i clicked + near replicatedstorage

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:20 PM

#

hold on it says Workspace.Lights

#

is the value in replicated

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:20 PM

#

yeah

#

that-

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:20 PM

#

or workspace

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:20 PM

#

yes

#

its in replicated

lime halo Aug 29, 2025, 12:21 PM

#

coral flicker hold on it says Workspace.Lights

that looks like where the script is and its looking at something in repstorage

lime halo Aug 29, 2025, 12:21 PM

#

shadow wagon does this answer your question

index bool with changed wot

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:21 PM

#

boolvalue uses a boolean

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:21 PM

#

is the script in the lights folder

#

or wherever you need it

lime halo Aug 29, 2025, 12:22 PM

#

boolvalue is not a boolean

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:22 PM

#

you are using script.parent

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:22 PM

#

lime halo boolvalue is not a boolean

???????????????????????????????????????????????

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:22 PM

#

lime halo boolvalue is not a boolean

huh

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:22 PM

#

vivid cedar Aug 29, 2025, 12:22 PM

#

I think he meant that boolvalue is an instance to store a boolean

#

but boolvalue is an instance

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:23 PM

#

yes

#

and its value is a boolvalue

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:23 PM

#

shadow wagon

is the script a modulescript or where is the actual script

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:23 PM

#

its a serverscript in a folder

#

and it runs

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:24 PM

#

uhm

#

you are doing script.parent

#

is there a folder there

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:24 PM

#

yes

#

it looks for children

#

which are spotlights

#

which are all in folder

#

well somewhere in the folder, but it looks everywhere

lime halo Aug 29, 2025, 12:25 PM

#

shadow wagon does this answer your question

maybe restart studio ngl

#

that error doesn't match with your code

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:25 PM

#

thats what the other guy recommended

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:25 PM

#

coral flicker you should do lightonoff.Value

^

lime halo Aug 29, 2025, 12:26 PM

#

line 4 is lightonoff.Changed:Connect(function(v) so regardless of if it exists or not, local lightonoff = game.ReplicatedStorage.chamberlights is either instance or nil, not a boolean. so idk what you did to it

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:26 PM

#

gng i got no clue

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:26 PM

#

no no its detecting that boolean

#

its not changing colors tho

lime halo Aug 29, 2025, 12:26 PM

#

maybe you're looking at the wrong script

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:26 PM

#

no im not

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:26 PM

#

shadow wagon its not changing colors tho

just do a print thing if you are actually getting the boolean

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:26 PM

#

i already did

#

did you not see the script?

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:27 PM

#

oh ye

lime halo Aug 29, 2025, 12:27 PM

#

bait

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:27 PM

#

ok i see the issue

#

stupid ass roblox

coral flicker Aug 29, 2025, 12:27 PM

#

what was it

shadow wagon Aug 29, 2025, 12:27 PM

#

it used to detect all the children in children

#

now it doesnt

#

ill try something new

lime halo Aug 29, 2025, 12:28 PM

#

coral flicker what was it

#
