* ''child'' can be the object the event is a member of, or any of its ancestors. For example, if a Part is a child of a Model and the Model's parent is changed to Lighting, AncestryChanged would be fired on the Part with ''child'' being the Model and ''parent'' being Lighting.
*<var>child</var> can be the object the event is a member of, or any of its ancestors. For example, if a [[Part]] is a child of a [[Model]] and the [[Model]]'s parent is changed to [[Lighting]], AncestryChanged would be fired on the [[Part]] with <var>child</var> being the [[Model]] and <var>parent</var> being [[Lighting]].
* ''parent'' can be nil. This event can be used to see when an Instance is removed from the game by testing if ''parent'' is nil.
*<var>parent</var> can be {{nil}}. This event can be used to see when an Instance is removed from the game by testing if <var>parent</var> is {{nil}}.

AncestryChanged ( Instance child, Instance parent )
Description Fired when an ancestor of the Instance the event which is a member of child has its parent changed to parent.
Member of: Instance


Example
local p = Instance.new("Part")
p.Parent = game.Workspace
p.AncestryChanged:connect(function(child, parent)
  print(child.Name.." is now a child of "..parent.Name)
end)
p.Parent = game.Lighting --fires event


Notes

  • child can be the object the event is a member of, or any of its ancestors. For example, if a Part is a child of a Model and the Model's parent is changed to Lighting, AncestryChanged would be fired on the Part with child being the Model and parent being Lighting.
  • parent can be nil. This event can be used to see when an Instance is removed from the game by testing if parent is nil.
