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


Example
local p = Instance.new("Part")
p.Parent = game.Workspace
local function ancestChange()
  print("Ancestry changed")
end
p.AncestryChanged:connect(ancestChange)
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.
